Knowledge is no longer Power!
Knowledge is no longer Power!
Yes, you did read correctly, knowledge is no longer power. How can this possibly be I hear you cry?
Well we are living in a world that is changing at breathtaking speeds and it is showing no signs of slowing.
The knowledge you have today may no longer be relevant tomorrow. In fact it is said that information that University students learn in their first year of study will more than likely be out of date by the time they reach their third year of study.
In times of great change, power doesn’t reside in the knowledge itself because before you know it, your knowledge you have will soon be redundant. The actual power resides with those who have the ability to seamlessly adapt to their environments through rapid learning and unlearning.
The rules are changing.
In times of great change, if you want to get ahead you need to think creatively. Doing the things you’ve always done just isn’t going to cut the mustard. The rules of the game are most definitely changing. And the great news is that this gives you the opportunity to start making your own rules.
With the changing business landscape it is important that you look forwards rather than backwards. The US Department of Labour are predicting that the top 10 jobs that will be in demand in 2010 will be ones that didn’t actually exist in 2004. Don’t you think it might be a good time to start reinventing your business or career?
Ready, Fire, Aim.
Because the world is moving so quickly the old paradigm of ‘Ready, Aim, Fire’ just doesn’t work anymore. You will be much better off adapting a ‘Ready, Fire, Aim’ approach.
With a ‘Ready, Fire, Aim’ approach, you prepare yourself to the best of your ability, you then take action, and finally you take feedback from your environment and tighten your focus. And then you begin the whole process all over again.
The biggest mistake you can make.
In times of great change the biggest mistake you can make with your business is being afraid to make mistakes. The businesses that will be most successful in this new arena are the ones that develop a culture of encouraging mistake making. Each little mistake that you make holds a seed for you to totally attune yourself to your rapidly changing market place. So best make it a habit!
Liberate yourself from always having to be right.
The great thing about the ‘Ready, Fire, Aim’ approach is that it liberates you from always having to be right. You will also quickly learn that you do not have to know everything before you can take action.
There is great pleasure to be had in moving forward purely on the basis of what feels right. This very act alone, will bring you closer to the incredible creative and intuitive life force that resides deep inside of you. It will also bring you closer to your true power, not in your knowledge, but in your ability to adapt.
