09 May 2023
The Go For it Window was a concept introduced by David Perrel to help people spot giant opportunities in their life. Opportunities come around regularly but are mostly missed because we don't see them for what they are. Learning to spot luck as it happens and seize life's big chances is key to our success. Developing a mindset that embraces change and discomfort is an essential part of the Growth Mindset and making the most of the "Go For it Windows" in our life. - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking Watch the pod - YouTube - Growth Mindset Twitter - @samjamharris Instagram - @SamJam.zen - - - Chapters 00:06 Intro 00:25 Overview of the "Go for It Window" 01:20 David Perell's explanation 03:50 People are blind to opportunities - have contrarian views 04:52 David Perell's example - AirBnB 05:41 Example #2 - Not getting a degree 06:40 Sam investing in Free Trade 07:19 Sam investing in a men's make-up company 09:32 Quote from Thomas Edison Learn more about your ad choices.
