Summary

In today’s momentum Friday show, John unpacks the “visionary arsonist” concept. So often in our lives, you aim to reach the stars but often you end up burning down your own dreams and preventing yourself from achieving your main goal. As entrepreneurs, we love to innovate. And, we are constantly enamored by every shiny new object that crosses our path. We hate the status quo. And exploring the new and the unknown gives us an adrenaline rush that we find irresistible. However, more often than not, these “shiny new objects” send us on a wild goose chase that only results in loss of time & productivity, and even failure. John shares his many experiences from corporate America to better explain his “visionary arsonist” concept. So, if this is something that resonates with you, and you find yourself lacking conviction and prioritization, tuning in today will particularly help you out. Enjoy! What You Will Learn in This Show
