The Art & Science of Navigating "Why Not Now?"
After spending the past decade up-close and personal with some of the world's most iconic Renegades and recently interviewing more than 100 of them, I've started to spot behavioral trends. These are similarities in how they navigate from idea to action, from dreaming to doing.
I ask them to tell me about a moment, hour or day when they had a big decision to make and they asked themselves, "Why Not Now?". If their answer resembles something that you'd find in a fluffy Instagram-worthy quote about chasing your dreams, I don't buy it. I dig and pry down to the tactical, tangible action steps they take to navigate from vision to execution. I've stated to apply their logic to my life and let me tell you, it works.
