‘Today, we need to fundamentally change the software of our mental and instinctual programming from one based on threat and survival to one of promise and prosperity.’

‘Our future is not cast in stone. It is a malleable and dynamic fabric of amazing potentialities, possibilities, and probabilities. And every passing moment is an opportunity for our intervention.’

‘Every act is an irrevocable selection and inclusion. In other words, by making the deliberate choice- or allowing others to make the choice for us- we determine the future state!

‘If the world were perfect, it would be. Problems are life’s essential feedstock. Without problems to solve, there is no motivating tension; without tension, there is no progress; without progress, there is only stagnation.’

‘The minute you believe something is impossible, it becomes impossible for you. I believe that there are very few problems that can’t be solved with imagination, innovation, and competent entrepreneurship- provided they don’t break too many laws of physics.’

‘People tend to get caught up in seeing the world only as it is and not imagining what the world could be. If you focus only on what the world is, then you are resigning yourself to a particular destiny.’

‘People often say the sky is the limit. The sky is not the limit. There is no such limit. It is an articficial boundary. Imagination is our only limit.‘

‘All the transformation we need is available on demand as a function of our search. Today that works requires an intermediary- a mobile phone or computer that connects us to information. Tomorrow we may not require the intermediary.’

‘Our curiosity doesn’t die out, it is wiped out. Consequently, as would-be moonshot entrepreneurs, it’s likely that we’ll have a little rehabilitation to do.’

‘Curiosity doesn’t care about comfort. Curiosity has no fear of the unknown. Curiosity is precisely about being drawn to novel things because they are new and strange and unknown.’

‘It is vital to retain absolute faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.’

‘Find a good thing and count on this. A nemesis will appear. Nothing good lasts forever because others will want to share it.’

‘Avoid random. Choose design.’ Because ‘random designs = random results.’

‘To enable significant change requires help from others. And those others will only willingly offer help when change facilitators walk the talk. Leaders of change espouse big, bold visions. They work both formal and informal channels to reach others to create a guiding coalition that will bust up inertia and bureaucracy.’

‘Change will never happen without an internal felt need for change. Until the person, or leadership team, feels dissatisfaction coming from within, change will be hard to muster and sustain.’

‘Reinvention must be looked upon as glass-half-full versus glass-half-empty exercise.’

‘Reflecting on your character and behaviours by identifying your blind spots and accepting that you ‘don’t know what you don’t know’ will make you more attractive and strengthen your position.’

‘Master change agents use a blended combination of both art and science when bringing about powerful change.’

‘Without viewing the total system that you are trying to change and understanding the interactions of each component, you can never truly hope to effect lasting change.’

‘No matter how well you engineer the reinvention effort, its success ultimately rests on the quality of leadership.’
