Does this sound like your situation?

This is for you when…

  1. A project is seen as confirmation of who you are.
  2. Enthusiasm for an idea obscures concrete circumstances and timing.
  3. The same story about yourself repeats as you change projects.
Why watch

What will become clearer

  1. How the author distinguishes a person, their work, and a particular business's goal.
  2. Why it matters to notice an initiative's temporary motives and circumstances.
  3. How to return from your idea of yourself to the actual substance of an action.
From watching to applying

What to do after the lesson

01
Look at how you describe the goal of one of your projects.
02
Separate what the project needs from what it is supposed to say about you.
03
Return to the circumstances and time frame in which this decision actually exists.
A question about your own situation

Am I talking about the venture's goal, or my idea of myself?

The questions and actions after watching were suggested by the catalog’s editors. They are neither quotations nor the author’s original assignments.

An important distinction

A meaning to preserve

This goes beyond how a person wants to appear to others. The meaning is broader: how personality, enthusiasm, and temporary motives can take the place of a particular venture's reality.

Check your expectations before choosing
