"Chase the BIG things!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.

When big, bold opportunities are unfolding, do you chase the big ideas or keep doing small things?
The art of the infinite pivot involves the former, obviously, not the latter.
Big trends involve big opportunities, but only come around so often. So why would you wait?
Think of it this way: the biggest pivot of your life won’t start with a spreadsheet or a market report.
It starts when you finally choose to listen to the quiet, internal voice inside you telling you to leave the safety of "certainty" for the risk of something bigger.
When I quit the corporate world in 1990, I didn't have a 50-page business plan. What I had was a gut feeling that something massive was happening with global networking. I just knew I had to be a part of it. I had no idea where it was going to take me, what I might do, or how I might shape my tomorrow.
But I just knew... so I traded a predictable salary for the unpredictable thrill of the unknown.
I stopped chasing the "safe" path and started chasing the thing I actually wanted to chase.
It worked out pretty well!
Unknown to me at the time, I was deeply caught up in one of the most important aspects of innovation of all - emotional commitment to a bigger trend. And that is the lesson many leaders miss: true innovation requires an emotional investment in a bold future. You'll only accomplish big things if you innovate within the bigger trend.
My early pivot has continued through my career. In fact, throughout my 36-year voyage, the moments of greatest growth always happened after I abandoned the "proven" model to follow a bigger signal that only I could hear.
Look, certainty is comfortable, but being bold takes you further.
Don't wait for the world to permit you to change.
Listen to your internal voice.
Chase the thing you want to chase.
Because it might be in front of you right now.

It's no wonder that the title of one of Jim's books starts with Think BIG...!
