The Adjacent Possible - Why Small Connections, Baby Steps, and Tiny Habits Create The Largest Opportunities (Thread)

1/ The Adjacent Possible

What is possible because of where you are now.

Today you may be starting to write. And because of this new skill a set of possibilities opens up. You may not be good enough yet to earn or go viral, but because of this new skill, it is now possible.

2/ Your Sphere Of Influence

The 6 Degrees of separation.

Who you know opens up possibilities. And who you know is limited by how you know them. With the right skills how you know someone changes as the conversation moves in different directions.

3/ Small Connections

Small connections are pathways to the different rings in the diagram.

Reading leads to writing. Writing leads to a connection with a reader. And that reader is an entrepreneur with an offer.

4/ Tiny Habits

Habits are the foundation for growth.

Writing, reading, and exercising daily are foundations for bigger things. Like health, wealth and wisdom in old age. Small daily habits are the key to sustaining results.

5/ Baby Steps

Small steps compound each day.

Getting 1% better each day equal 37.8 times better than the start of the year. Do this with one skill each year and watch the transformation occur.

As 1% a day is very achievable, imagine doing this with multiple skills.

6/ Luck Lies In The Adjacent Possible And Our Sphere Of Influence

Who we know, who they know, what we do, and what we could do is where luck lies.

Success is in the Adjacent Possible of what you are doing now. And you decide the range of those possibilities with daily actions.
