Having brilliant ideas, making great wishes… is never enough. If you want to change anything – your body, your mind, the world around you – action is the key. If you are a wizard-leader, it doesn’t matter if you are boss – your actions can create the change you want to see. Take radical rsponsibility, and as Gandhi said, “be the change you want to see.” Actively. Not just in your imagination.
Why would Feynman be so insistent that he “calculate everything for himself?” Why did Steve Jobs insist that focus groups weren’t helpful in developing new products? Why should you not accept the given knowledge of experts, but go to the trouble to think things through for yourself?
I expect there are many reasons, but the first one, for me, is that the “given knowledge” is often wrong. It is often from another time, delivered based on evidence that is incomplete, or simply wrong based on more recent evidence and understanding. If you want the power to change the world, you’ll need real facts and real understandings of the way the world works. So follow our “Wizard’s Motto,” and get into the habit of questioning everything!
It’s time to get moving forward with The Wizard Venture. What changes do you want or need to make? Too many employees leaving your company? Are you having trouble keeping up with all of the rapid change happening around you? Feeling powerless to steer things in whatever your idea of “the right direction” might be? As Albert Einstein said, “The thinking that got you into this, won’t get you out.” Learn new ways to run your mind, your organization and your life…that’s our “Wizards Way.”
Can you hold an audience “spellbound?” Have you considered what that might actually mean? The kind of changes you could create if you could do this? We’ve been teaching clients and students to do exactly that for over 30 years…and we can help you, too!
To change the world, change beliefs. New beliefs inspire new thoughts New thoughts bring about new actions. So…be careful what you put into your own mind, and what you spread to others!
