🗺️ Planning Your Past, Present, and Future
Great planning starts with understanding your past and present before dreaming about the future.
The PPF Framework
- Past: Capture good experiences and bad ones
- Present: Where do you have momentum? Where does it feel heavy? (Too soon to judge as good or bad)
- Future: A vivid, exciting picture that makes people want to join you
Important Truth About Data
All data comes from the past. It can inform you, but it cannot predict the future.
The CAB Sharing Strategy
Share your ideas in order: start with your easiest collaborators (A), build momentum, then work toward your toughest critics (C). Your plan should eventually be strong enough to win over anyone.
Success looks like having too many good ideas to choose from.
