DEVELOP A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
3 factors that form your competitive advantage:
1. Assets.
— Two types of assets: Hard assets (like cash, stocks, and physical possessions) and soft assets (like skills, experiences, connections, and knowledge).
2. Aspirations.
— Include your vision of the future, goals, deepest wishes, and core values (regardless of the market realities or your existing assets).
3. Market realities.
— What people will actually pay you for.
PLAN TO ADAPT
Should you craft a detailed plan and persistently work to make it happen? Or do you stay flexible in order to seize unexpected opportunity?
– Both: plan to adapt.
– Follow plans with discipline, yet have no firm plans.
– Be flexibly persistent: always ready to adapt (for valid reasons), yet persistent in driving towards set goals.
