## Result (2020)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Firestarter**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You, as your name implies, are driven by an internal fire, a deep craving to create, transform, and shake things up.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Firestarters are true visionaries.
|
|||
|
|
You have a natural tendency to question “the way things are.”
|
|||
|
|
You feel stifled by rules, and have a hard time committing to a project or assignment unless you’re fully bought in to the mission and purpose (which makes it hard to feel satisfied working for other people).
|
|||
|
|
You thrive in environment that encourage innovation, unbounded creativity, and rapid evolution. You like to color outside the lines.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### You probably have a bit of a rebellious streak.
|
|||
|
|
Where others see challenges and lack, you see opportunity, which makes you a natural leader. You can’t help but wonder, “How can I make this better/faster/easier/more exciting?”
|
|||
|
|
If you’re not yet an entrepreneur, you feel the itch to create a business—maybe even a movement or a mini-revolution that’s aligned with your vision and feeds your passion. Ideally, your career and your passion will merge together and be one and the same. You get a thrill when thinking about YOU being the sole owner, creator, and director of your time and life. You know it will be a challenge, but...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

## What to do now
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Create a solid & realistic plan
|
|||
|
|
* Being a visionary is awesome, but staying grounded means mixing your vision with a healthy dose of reality. Your plan needs to be solid, well organized and thorough before you jump head first into the next step. (Being a visionary is less fun when you’re broke, you know?).
|
|||
|
|
* Challenge yourself to talk to a few people you admire who have “been there, done that.” Glean some nuggets of wisdom from them (but don’t be afraid to leave some of their opinions behind)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Fully disconnect during your downtime
|
|||
|
|
* You’re no good to anyone if you’re frayed and burnt out. The vision, unlike a baby, won’t die if you leave it alone for one night
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Ask for help
|
|||
|
|
* Your dream is not a puzzle you should feel obligated to solve totally on your own.
|
|||
|
|
* The very best Firestarters (think Oprah, obviously) know how important it is to leverage the time and effort of other people to get things done.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Pick an idea and stick with it (for now)
|
|||
|
|
* Your paralysis-by-analysis is going to keep you from moving forward, so pick an idea and go with it. You’re allowed to evolve as you go.
|
|||
|
|
* Remember that clarity doesn’t come from sitting around and thinking. It comes from DOING and experimenting.
