Seth Godin often talks about the importance of collecting dots … and how you don’t necessarily need to see the connections immediately. Collect enough interesting dots, and eventually the connections will become clear.
‘Dots’ might be meeting someone new, learning a skill, or understanding a concept.
Quality control is important – some dots are more valuable than others … and don’t collect all your dots from the same place – variety is good.
It takes patience. The collection can sometimes be frustrating – at times it may even feel pointless – but keep going.
Keep collecting dots.
And as you do, the connections will begin to emerge …
Who knows where they might take you?
