The DICE Framework
The DICE Framework:
I shared this idea in "How to Build a Personal Monopoly" with David Perell.
Here's the breakdown:
1/ Divergence
Steve Jobs famously said, "You can only connect the dots looking backwards."
So your job, to begin with, is to collect dots, or "diverge" —?we're pulled our curiosity to create competence: Jobs, projects, experiences, books, people, places, ideas, etc.
2/ Convergence
The stringing together of the things you care about in a unique (and marketable) manner.
For me — design, commerce, philosophy, self-development.
This is where we "connect dots."
3/ Emergence
The constraint we apply to package our idea determines their reach & resonance.
"Make 1 decision to eliminate 1,000 decisions."
Focus unlocks scale.
Keep rolling dice.

3 年Interesting. This is very related to playing the long-game of success. Success isn't in a single job, single experience, single product. It is an array of various jobs, experiences, etc that build a unique output.
