Potential and Action

About This Talk

Chris looks at how potential and action depend on each other. Potential with no action, he says, is a stranded opportunity, and hesitating over “what if” moves the mind into scarcity. He asks listeners to start moving on good opportunities without waiting for a complete plan, since the rest can be figured out along the way.

Key Ideas

• Without action, any potential is a stranded opportunity.
• Answering an opportunity with “yes, but what happens if” is scarcity; “here’s how we’re going to go about it” is abundance.
• Waiting or analyzing too long slows you down and can let the opportunity slip away or fall short of its potential.

“Without action, potential, whatever it might be, is stranded. It’s a stranded opportunity.”
