1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600
Why do leaders hide from funding their vision?

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,120
Leaders hide from funding their vision.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,480
It's an interesting question.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,960
If I understand correctly, is they afraid to go do next step?

5
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:15,120
This is what you're referring?

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:16,400
It could be.

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,600
It could be either or.

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,120
So I guess it all depends on the leaders.

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,760
I'm in cyber security and every time somebody asks a question, people say it

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,840
depends, severely depend.

11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,160
I myself trying not to hide from my vision and move it forward.

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,680
But in many cases, even the small things sometimes I see as a vision is fear.

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,600
If fear of failure or fear of in some cases that it's actually going to work

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,720
and what they're going to do, because then it means they're going to need to have

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,040
much more responsibility and change the world.

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,320
They kind of agree and understand it in daily life.

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,080
So from what I see is going to be these two things.

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,360
One, what if it's not going to work and people tell you, I told you so.

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,200
And second one, it is going to work.

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,400
And now you're going to have dramatic change in the life.

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,880
And usually people doesn't matter if the leaders are not leaders afraid to change.

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,120
Then how can leaders lean into funding their vision?

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,200
I love this question even more because I think it's making the assumption that

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,680
you're actually going to do and move forward with the vision.

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,240
So first of all, in my view, it's helped to kind of outline a rider vision.

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,360
Depend who you are, if you're an audio, video person, kinesthetic person,

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,720
you need to understand the field of vision.

28
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:38,120
So this could be, if you're a visual person, you maybe want to envision yourself,

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,920
pretend you're in the movie, pretend you're creating a story and see what will

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,720
happen when your vision will come to be true.

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,120
So you envision which house was the apartment, what is the business, who the

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,000
people, what do you do, it's going to help you to understand.

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Would you feel comfortable?

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,960
Would you like this or actually write in the many details?

35
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,440
What do you mean by this vision?

36
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,480
So this is probably in my mind, step number two, there's many people like Joe

37
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,840
Dispensa and other people that are in the, in the industries at helping people

38
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,760
at Tony Robertson to actually do that as well.

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,880
And number two is, okay, now we have a vision, now we have a goal.

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,400
Let's divide this and the difference between goal and the kind of wish is in

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,120
the goal, you actually start putting time steps.

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:24,440
Okay.

43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,360
I have a couple of years trying to do that.

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,720
You dividing the big, big idea and goals to separate small goals and trying to

45
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,360
understand the understanding what you can or cannot do.

46
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,680
And in most of these cases, if it's a big, big vision, you're not able to do it

47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,160
by yourself.

48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,840
It's meaning that you need to help people to do certain parts or you may need to

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,360
have people that you outsource.

50
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,960
Or you're going to have a need mentors.

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,160
They're going to help you to do stuff.

52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,160
You have no idea what you need to do.

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,600
Or in many, many cases, people have this vision, but they don't understand

54
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,800
they're going to be stopped.

55
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,880
They don't know about them, not even know if they're going to know them.

56
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,440
So a mentor or somebody that didn't already will envision and help them to

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,840
understand when you get to this point, you're going to have problems that you

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,880
don't even know exist and how to overcome them.

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,480
Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely right.

60
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,720
It's called blind spots of an entrepreneur that we don't see because we don't see

61
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:17,960
him.

62
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,600
We have no idea they exist and we need to have a mentor or someone in our life

63
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,160
who can help us guide through those challenges before they come.

64
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:27,640
Yep.

65
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,120
Go ahead.

66
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,760
This is an interesting point and I would like to debate it possible because I

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:39,800
think if you take a car, the blind spot is a place we see right now, but it's

68
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,040
not a place where you can see it.

69
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:50,120
But in many cases, you don't know it's going to be raining in two kilometers

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,080
and you're going to have a different problem because they're going to be a

71
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:53,720
lot of water.

72
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,560
So blind spot is something you see.

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,080
You have a problem right now.

74
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,680
What do you happen in the future when you're going to reach to a particular

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,280
milestone destination checkpoint, you're going to have a new problem, new

76
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,320
blind spot, but you don't have it right now because you're not big enough.

77
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,080
You're not whatever enough right now.

78
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,080
So I think that's a big part of that.

79
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Each stage will come with each challenges and will need to require each solution

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,920
for each challenge if that needs to be foreseen and great leaders learn from

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,280
other people's mistakes.

82
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,680
Stupid ones learn from their own mistakes.

83
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,600
So, yep.

84
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,880
So thank you.

85
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,160
Thank you for sharing that.

86
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,520
Evgeny, what tips do you have for leaders?

87
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:43,160
I think number one is surrounding you with people that are in a way different

88
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,720
than you.

89
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:49,720
I think it's important to have alignment and similarity, but not in everything

90
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,800
because we're talking a lot about vision.

91
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,720
You may surround you with people that are going to have a similar vision, but

92
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,480
maybe they're going to be different people.

93
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,520
And by having different people around you, they will be able to object to

94
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,360
you, as I mentioned, the blind spot or the stuff you don't think because they

95
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,760
see the parts differently.

96
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,960
And because you're becoming a leader and you're moving away or higher left,

97
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,640
right, whatever you want to call this from your current environment, it may

98
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,640
be mean you will need to change the surrounding or the people you're having

99
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,920
beer, coffee, run, whatever you do day by day.

100
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,640
So it's meaning you're going to have different people who are going to help

101
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,280
you to elevate.

102
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:32,760
And in many cases, you may not be able to find people that you can spend day by

103
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,160
day.

104
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,720
We mentioned mentors before, but we have places and mentorship places and

105
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,160
incubators where you can find people with similar visions.

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,600
Again, visions not mean they're going to be the same people, but you will be able

107
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,240
to spend more time and elevate yourself as a human being and them as well.

108
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,960
Second, I think it's quite important.

109
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,600
I always tell my kids this, that you're competing with your vision, but you

110
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,800
have to realize that you're competing with yourself.

111
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,440
Yes, you have a competition on different vendors and products, but as a human

112
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,480
being, as a leader, not as a product, not as a company, you compete with yourself

113
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,920
and you want to become a better version of yourself.

114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:20,440
And this is mean speak better, physically better, have this holistic idea to who

115
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:26,200
you are, because one of the important part to do, you know, the expression to

116
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,640
show up first.

117
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:33,400
So if you're not showing up, if you cannot be present, if you always tired,

118
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,640
if you always have a headache, it's mean you're burning yourself out.

119
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,720
So you need to find a way to charge your batteries before they're very, very

120
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,200
low.

121
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,840
You need to find a way they're going to be holistic and good to make sure you're

122
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:53,080
supporting your engine, supporting your body, your brain to be there to show up

123
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,840
and to do the stuff you need to do.

124
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,480
It's a very, very wide topic.

125
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,760
And again, I wrote a book about soft skills, what I learned, and there's many,

126
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,960
many leaders and people that can help people there, but it's definitely

127
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,720
important to be holistically kind of aligned well.

128
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,080
Thank you for being here today.

129
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,560
