The future is web3.

A massive opportunity for:

Wealth distribution
Creator ownership
An explosion of creative genius
A more permission-less life

Amazing!

But a tech update alone won't change your future.

To 'make it' YOU must update.

Future 101 - The Human Update:🧵
1. Tech is great, but only if YOU update.

Technology does not make you better. It only amplifies who you already are.

A bit like winning the lottery. The money doesn't fix you or your life. In fact, most winners end up bankrupt.

It could be like that in web3.
2. To win in the future, you have to be ready.

Web3 gives you powerful tools.

But most people will have no idea how to use them effectively.

They have no practice.

Currently in web2, 90% consume, 9% engage, only 1% create.

No one is ready for web3.

The future is ZIPPING BY . . .

5 more principles you need to get on board:

Future 101(cont'd):
🧵
Last week, we covered general principles:

1. Be Adaptable
2. Be Global
3. Be Self Actualized
4. Create
5. Communicate Cleanly

This week, let's dive deeper. 👇
1. Un-Learn

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." ~ Alvin Toffler

Whatever got you here, no longer works.

Jettison your self perception, mindset, and vibe.

Make space for the new.

The future is happening. FAST.

Here are the 5 principles you need to stay up to speed:

Future 101:🧵
1. Be Adaptable

'When everything changes, change everything.'

In the past, personal change took months or years.

Here, you iterate daily. Every night, let go of the old. Every morning, embrace the new.

Each day, become a more potent complete version of yourself.
2. Be Global

Here, we celebrate the best ideas humanity has to offer.

Real progress depends not just on the method, but on the data. What's required is the widest range of the highest quality data.

Seek out input from all around the globe. The less familiar, the better.

Everyone has blind spots.

Areas where flawed thinking leads to mistakes.

10 MISTAKES you didn't know you were making (and how to rethink them):
1. Making Age a Factor

Age has little to do with what you are capable of. You're never too young or too old to go after what you want.

What matters is focus, drive, and the capacity to learn and iterate at speed.

Be ageless. Act from within.
2. Doubting Things Will Work

Things always work. If... you put in the work.

When they're not working, it means you haven't done 'the work.'

Dig deeper. Bring your passion and excitement to the process. Commit completely.

The results are waiting, for you to show up.
