Your Impossible Future

Looking beyond what you once thought possible.
That's how you get breakthrough thinking.

But that vision - without relentless execution - is just dreaming.

I've been on retreats,
where executives get excited
about the future they could have...
the get totally stuck when they realise
the magnitude of change they need to lead.

Their exciting stretch goals... die.
They give up, try to cut corners.
Don't play the long game.

Alongside that "impossible future" vision you need something else.

Something that requires harder thinking.

This is the process:

1/ Start with the impossible future.
2/ Work backward to the present reality.
3/ Name every obstacle standing in your way.
4/ Figure out how to overcome the biggest obstacles.
5/ Get started on those strategies and build your momentum.

Not just picturing the future, but reverse-engineering it into actions you can take immediately.

What's an impossible future you want to start building today?
