The Three Key Principles:
-
Create a personal Experience Strategy for yourself. Moving from an Employee Mindset (path-to-progress) to a Career Entrepreneur (path-to-passion) will put you on the road to success.
-
Act it out, then figure it out. Run small experiments in your current job.
-
Fill the potholes. Identify the problem and then bring a solution.
