Adapt Faster - Week 1
Have you ever felt like you were falling behind the times?
Maybe you’ve been laid off, let go, or experienced gap years at some point in your career.
Perhaps you’ve struggled to perform, hit quota, or meet your KPIs.
It’s easy to get discouraged or distracted in our always on constantly changing world.
Why is it that some people thrive, out perform, and multiply their success, while others get burned out, lose motivation, lose hope, and fall behind?
How many of you reading this right now have at least searched for ChatGPT?
How many of you have typed a query?
How many of you have done something productive with it?
How many of you have integrated it into a standard operating procedure?
The more questions we ask, the deeper into the rabbit hole we go, the more we lose the majority and start to single out the early adopters.
This isn’t a new phenomenon by any means, it’s an age old concept destined to repeat itself for all of time.
Being the 1st early adopter isn’t the goal, but someone had to do it otherwise it wouldn’t exist.
Oftentimes it’s the early adopters that struggle the most followed by the laggards who refused to try it at all.
But in between are the slightly above average early minority & the average late majority. Those in the early minority reap the most rewards, the late majority benefit less, and the laggards miss out entirely.
Just maybe, this newsletter can help those of you in the early minority adapt even faster.
And those of you in the late majority, we can get you a little bit closer to the edge of early.

Adapting faster involves developing certain habits and mindsets that can help you adjust more quickly to new situations or changes in your environment.
Here are some strategies that can help you adapt faster:
Be open to change: One of the key factors in adapting faster is to be open to change. This means embracing new ideas, approaches, and perspectives.
Stay positive: Maintaining a positive attitude can help you stay motivated and focused on finding solutions when faced with new challenges.
Develop resilience: Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks and challenges. To develop resilience, focus on developing your problem-solving skills, building strong relationships, and practicing self-care.
Learn continuously: To adapt faster, you need to be a continuous learner. This means seeking out new information, skills, and experiences to expand your knowledge and capabilities.
Be proactive: Take a proactive approach to change by anticipating potential challenges and planning ahead. This can help you stay ahead of the curve and adjust more quickly when new situations arise.
Embrace discomfort: Adapting often involves stepping outside of your comfort zone. Learn to embrace discomfort and be willing to take risks to grow and learn.
Seek support: Finally, don't be afraid to seek support from others when adapting to new situations. This can include seeking advice, feedback, or simply talking to someone who understands what you're going through.
