Victim thinking is the risk-averse trap that surrenders control to external forces - like luck, market forces, frustrating buyers or supporters who let you down. Victim thinking keeps you at Level 0-1-2, waiting for the fog to clear or others to step up and deliver. With a take-charge mindflip, you can shape your fate, rather than settle for the fate you find. You can approach Volatile Uncertain Complex Adverse (VUCA) conditions with an internal locus of control and a find-solutions make-things-happen mindset, rather than an external surrender-your-power locus of control. You can create a culture of accountability, not wait-and-see passivity. This Quest shows you how to…
- Recognize victim traps - when you feel trapped by bad luck, broken promises or events beyond your control
- Own your power (without delusions of grandeur) - so you imagine what you can do to keep the ball in your court, take charge and find new levers of influence
- Shift from passive to active, by taking control and taking action to get more traction than you'd get finding fault or waiting and hoping
- Foster accountability by looking for solutions and actions to seize opportunities and make things better, rather than excuses or blame
- Bring a triumph mindset, not a defeatist mindset, to thrive and profit through turbulence and VUCA conditions
There's a motto associated with one of our country's Founding Parents: "If you have the will, freedom need not be a dream." Our Founding Parents knew - it took courage to step up, throw off centuries of oppression and shape our destiny, rather than wait for the next chapter of destiny to shape us. The same is true with the innovation you are bringing to buyers and investors in your enterprise. You can drive adoption, rather than waiting for users to find you. Here's how.
