So You Want The Future You Created to Become Reality...

A Few Simple Recommendations

1. Stay in touch with people who are passionate about the future. Passion is contagious – go for it
2. Get into action – do something that forwards the future – today, before you go home
3. Start a project that will forward the future – not some big grand, needs permission/buy in from everyone kind of project. Make it a short-term project, something you and your colleagues can do in a week, or maybe two. Something that will make a difference
4. Name your project, call it something sexy, a name that will speak to the possibility your see
5. Be a leader – how you'll know you are a leader: call a meeting, propose and idea, start something – if folks show up and follow; you are a leader.

Find Role Models

Find role models from inside your organization and from wherever

1. Who are the heroes – get them involved in your projects. Just invite them, if they say no, that OK, then invite someone else. Let your passion and enthusiasm do the work of enrolling them – not your reasons or explanations
2. Look for people who are doing really great things, people like Jason Roberts. Check him out – no authority, no permissions from anyone, no money to spend...yet he has made a huge amount of really great changes that have made a huge difference in peoples' lives. He is also a great model for Being passionate.

And Remember Luck and Serendipity

However, you have to show up and be in action for luck to find you.
