About 9 months ago I was introduced to this great little PDF guide about being remarkable and it really changed my mindset on what is possible and what we can do in the world. At the time I was really busy launching Alt-MBA and discussing a book a week, and I had been wanting to post on this guide for some time.
I caught up with Chris a few months ago, and we had this podcast interview. I will once again credit Matt Cheney for his yoeman’s work editing this interview.
So to me there are two major points for you to think on as you read this guide:
- What do you really want to get out of life?
- What can you offer the world that no one else can?
When I first answered the guide’s questions 9 months ago, my answers were:
- I want to create a world with more transparency.
- I can offer fun with great effort, levity with constant persuit for better outcomes, open mindedness with strong intellect, questioning of authority with trust in others.
Revisiting this text less than a year later, I think I would ammend my answers to be
- I want to be someone who gives his all for the betterment of the world in whatever form that might take.
- I can offer my perspective, my skills, and my commitment to improvement.
Amazing what a few months can do to perspectives on things.
I would challenge you to answer these questions, so that you can align your skills and your goals to really create leverage and change in this world of ours. Read the guide its a really short 28 pages and well worth the read.
