When you do something truly new for yourself, you cannot understand it in advance. Even the most refined concepts will inevitably disappoint you.
The answer is to walk into the Unknown with a beginner’s mind. Of course, while keeping all the knowledge, skills, and experience you have already gathered.
Then your advisor #1 becomes the person who walked this stretch of the road with you. The one who voted with his attention, his time, and his money.
Because a new product is always co-creation. An alliance. A synergy.
Synergy means that the whole behaves in ways that cannot be predicted from its parts (Buckminster Fuller). Meaning reveals itself during the act of creation.
Below is a review from one of the participants in the course “Ritual of Transformation.”
“During the course, I found an answer to the question: How do you change anything? There is no magic pill. But there is a method you can rely on to increase your chances of success.
Throughout the course Sasha did everything he could to explain the method clearly. He encouraged us to run it through ourselves right away, invited us into shared work, and made sure the knowledge would take root in action.
In fact, I received a platform where I could plant all my ideas about change, goal-building, and working with problems. Everything came into harmony.
Paradoxically, before the course began I worried that the lectures might be too abstract. In the end I realized something important: the better you think in these “abstractions,” the clearer you see what to do right now.
I am sincerely grateful for the incredible shared adventure.”
