“It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.” – Fight Club
Imagine a fresh start. Maybe it’s a fresh start for your company or brand that you endorse. Maybe it’s your blog. Heck, maybe it’s a relationship with a friend. Usually there are all sorts of barriers that prevent us from making changes.
You can’t change something about your product because you have millions of dollars already invested in the direction it’s heading right now. You can’t change the direction of your business because your investors will be calling for your head.
So just imagine you have a blank slate. You’re free to do anything. What’s it going to be?
Use what I think of as the scale-it-back technique. Think of anything, no matter how crazy it is, and then scale it back. Reconcile it with reality and think about how you can nudge it in that direction.
Because how are we going to move forward if we let a barrier stand in our way?
