Future Beats Nostalgia - Fly In Formation

Don’t get it twisted, the past decades were great, but nothing compared to what's in front of you.

Create What’s Next.  Your future depends on it.

 Good morning, fam. It is  Tuesday here. So flying formation,  let's point our minds in the right directions and clean out our minds and put some guardrails up as we go about our day. Uh, so today in flying formation, I want to talk really, it's a cautionary tale. Uh, it's called future beats nostalgia.  And what happens is that easily  the 80 20 rule applies here. 

80 percent of the people get stuck in nostalgia,  the other remaining 20,  if they're disciplined, focused and work, they can build the future.  We see it, we've seen it for years. The person who is stuck in the way it was,  person who  is so committed to a decade that they can't think about their future and build their future. 

An example would be a Technicolor example is the Beatles.  The fandom around the Beatles can be immense  and nothing against the Beatles. The Beatles are great. I love them, but the Beatles have already happened.  It's our job  and the job of everybody in the community to create the next. Beatles.  Wouldn't that be awesome?

If we could do that, even if we  get half the way there, we win. But the point is building the future,  thinking about the future more than you're in love with the nostalgia of the past.  You see it  on YouTube where people just  spend hours stuck in a decade or an artist. Um, and they really are taken out of the game.

They're taken, they're put in the sidelines and they stopped. What happens is they stop  crafting their future and fighting, building and developing the future  could be an artist. It could be a business. It could be a product, whatever it is. They're, they're no longer when, when they're in nostalgia, they no longer have the responsibilities of building.

of creating what's next.  Okay.  So that's our fly information today. I want you to be very cautious  of your thinking and your team's thinking around nostalgia. Are they getting sucked into the vacuum?  of nostalgia of the eighties of the sixties of Frank Sinatra of the Beatles of the Rolling Stone, whatever that is, that's already happened and it's closed.

You can't participate in that. You need to create what's next. You need to create the next Beatles, the next Frank Sinatra,  the next whatever. Okay, that's our fly information for today. Future beats nostalgia. I will see you guys inside  the community today.
