What to Do When It’s Your Turn: Embrace the Permissionless Mindset
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding the Permissionless Economy
In today's world, the notion of waiting for your turn is outdated. We exist in a permissionless economy, which means that the time for action is now.
Imagine a landscape where you no longer seek approval before making your move. That’s the essence of this environment.
We have all been conditioned by the educational system to adhere to rules and seek permission. We learned to raise our hands, to ask if we could speak, and to follow instructions blindly. This system was designed to ensure compliance, but it was tailored for a static society filled with unchanging norms.
However, we live in a world that is constantly evolving. In this dynamic society, rules are rewritten daily, and waiting for permission can hold you back from seizing opportunities.
In a vibrant and changing landscape, it’s always your turn.
Section 1.1: The Impact of Conditioning
You might be eager to create music, yet you hesitate, believing you need a record deal first. Or perhaps you want to produce videos, but you hold back, thinking you require an expensive camera. Similarly, you may wish to share your writings online but feel unworthy without a blog.
You might even be reluctant to express your thoughts, fearing they lack value. This hesitation stems from a reliance on external approval.
