Be Your Future Self Now

You can create multiple time capsules. A 6-month time capsule, 12 month, 3 year, 5 year, 10 year, 20 year. Your time capsule is your final Be Your Future Self Now call to action. Compile a time capsule today for the time frame you choose. Make your vision clear and bold.

Everything you complete teaches you something you’ll use for the next project. Become a master of completing and shipping. If you don’t, then your Future Self will be an idea but not a fact.

The 80 Percent Rule: Done is better than perfect. Dan Sullivan explained, “Eighty percent gets results, while 100 percent is still thinking about it.”

Shipping is how you reach your Future Self. Staying attached to your former work or your former views keeps you stuck.

The completion of projects. The completion of goals and objectives. Imperfect completion. Consistent completion. The completion of better and better projects. To become your Future Self, you can’t stay outside the arena. Move outside paralysis by analysis in your head and enter into the arena where you ship your work.

“Art is never finished, only abandoned.”

Shipping isn’t focused on producing a masterpiece (but all master-pieces get shipped). I’ve produced more than a hundred books (most didn’t sell very well), but if I hadn’t, I’d never have had the chance to write this one. Picasso painted more than a thousand paintings, and you can probably name three of them.

Quit your lesser goals. Quit anything that isn’t taking you closer to the mountain. Don’t stick with something just because your former self invested in it. Quit everything that isn’t living as your Future Self.

Criticism comes to those who stand out.
