Joel Barker: Vision is dreams in action

"Vision without action is just a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world."

The past guarantees you nothing in the future if the rules change.

A paradigm is a system of rules that sets limits or boundaries, provides guidance for solving problems.  

Paradigm Effect is what may be obvious to one may be totally imperceptible to someone else, old paradigms blind us from seeing new paradigms. When paradigm shifts, everyone goes back to 0. 

Paradigm Paralysis happens when a paradigm becomes the paradigm – the only way to do something.  

Paradigm Shift when rules change fundamentally;  

Paradigm Shifters are outsiders – look for folks challenging your rules, not vested in current paradigm; 

Paradigm Pioneers bring critical mass to get adoption and have attributes of courage, intuitive judgment, commitment to long term

“What is impossible to do in your business today, but, if it could be done, would fundamentally change it for the better?”
