You can do it.
I've bee thinking about the larger or meta conversation around what is happening in the world. I came up with one overarching concept that can be summed up as contribution.
It's a human desire to count and thus being truly counted on, not just being a number. And it's finding expression in a myriad different ways. I'm an optimist, I think both at group action level, and individually, this is about finding a voice and building what's next.
Thanks to a broader adoption of technology, contribution trends in the last couple of years have included:
- crowdsourcing
- co-creation
- collaboration
- co-working
On a more personal level:
- creation
- courage
- connection
- consideration
They all seem to come in as C words, don't they? Step back and you see something else. They all talk about human aspiration, significance, and legacy. These tensions need a constructive outlet. If you can dream it, YOU can do it.
What I'm going to touch upon in the newsletter this week is market maturity as evidenced by some of the tools and technologies people and businesses are adopting, and where you can find entry points in this ecosystem.
As always, I welcome your comments and feedback.
The canvass is yours.
