Entrepreneurial attitude

You are the CMO (chief mindset officer) of You, Inc.

Observe how easy it is to understand the next two paradoxical statements…

With an entrepreneurial mindset, you live with constant optimism and growth mindset.
Without an entrepreneurial mindset, you live with chronic pessimism and closed mindset.

Think of your attitude as a business startup.

You can make it whatever you want.

What attitude do you want to offer the world (starting with yourself and your loved ones)?

Zero-theory mental theory

Stitch toy — Sunrise. Stitch. A Father’s love. Intentionality. Action.

What is zero-theory mental theory?

Let’s break it down, and remember common sense is a BFO (blinding flash of the obvious):

Zero theory means no theory is used. For anything.
Mental theory means ideas about mental vibrancy.

Now, let’s unpack those two bullet points:

The goal of education isn’t knowledge, it’s action.
Knowledge without action is nothing.
‘Nothing’ isn’t a useful tool since no behavior(s) is applied.

Summary:

The only thing that equips you with a growth mindset is action.
To know is to do.
To know and not do is to not yet know.

Father of nudge theory won 2017 economics Noble Peace Prize

wisdom about questions — Taken during yesterday’s college tour.

Richard Thaler, Father of ‘nudge theory’ won a 2017 Noble Peace Prize in economics.

What would happen if our attitude about questions became more important than our traditional focus on answers?

For example, if we rethought our notions about college dormitory bathroom placement, could we increase freshmen retention rates.

We toured a college the past two days that has applied this behavioral science – nudge theory – to their new freshman dorm.

Don’t tell me, show me

Logan Pass parking — Five minutes after we arrived, all spaces taken.

Highland trail entrance — It’s a deceptively easy trail entrance.

Highline trail — About 300 meters into and you realize the level of difficulty spikes.

Up early, again. Breakfast at Two Dog Flats. Parked at Logan Pass at 8:45am, just five minutes before all parking spaces were taken. Yes, early bird advantage.

The info-videos say arrive by noon. My goal was between 8:30-9:00am, with a primary goal to be closer to 8:30am versus 9am.

PS. 08.05 Friday, final day in Glacier. Breakfast at Two Dog Flats. Logan Pass at 845am (no spaces avail 5 mins later)…hike Highline trail a mile down and back. Watched Six Big Horn Sheep come down from across road. Lunch in room. Packed, checked out at 2pm (no charge) and leisure drive with several stops on Going To The Sun Road. Explore Lake McDonald Lodge…Cobb House, Reading Room, and public dorm rooms. Dinner at Eddies in Apgar…shop. Drive to Kalispel at 730pm to spend the night in town.

Who teaches us this?

Who teaches us this?

Theory is meaningless without action.

Knowlege isn’t power.

Knowledge is only the seed of power.

Power comes from action.

Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe.
