The Anatomy of Boldness
We are often encouraged to be bold, as great things come from boldness. The challenge, however, is that boldness requires the right philosophies and life-support systems to truly transform into bountiful opportunities. In my own life as a technologist and inventor with over 40 U.S. patents, I have institutionalized these principles to develop breakthrough technologies. Risking millions of dollars of my own money—money that was earmarked to support my family and put my kids through school—truly requires boldness. Yet, I attribute all the incredible experiences and opportunities I’ve encountered in my life to understanding the anatomy of boldness and applying it every day.
That said, boldness is not without its risks. In the short term, boldness can lead to failure. However, when applied consistently throughout an individual’s life, it yields two transformative benefits. First, it enables you to master a career of unimaginable success by doing the things others won’t dare attempt. Second, and perhaps more importantly, boldness accelerates your journey through life with extraordinary experiences that ultimately shape your self-evolution. In other words, boldness doesn’t just improve your career—it makes you better, too. With this in mind, I’ve developed a humble framework for understanding boldness, based on my own experiences and those of the leaders I advise through my work.
The Throughput of Boldness
Belief
Boldness always begins with belief—a genuine belief in yourself and your ability to prevail. At its core, we humans naturally recoil from pain and lean toward pleasure. To benefit from boldness, you must believe that good things will come from it, and that the outcomes of your bold moves will not be catastrophic.
Bravery
No one is brave without belief. You wouldn’t confront a schoolyard bully unless you believed the confrontation would ultimately lead to a positive outcome. Bravery is informed by belief; without belief, there is no bravery.
Bold
Boldness is the active force of bravery—the execution of courage that drives results. Bravery cannot exist without belief, and boldness cannot exist without bravery. Simply proclaiming yourself bold doesn’t work. You must understand the throughput and benefits of boldness to channel it effectively.
Breakthroughs
In my experience, boldness consistently leads to breakthroughs. For example, 30 years ago, I was writing books that, frankly, were mediocre. But by embracing the boldness to try new approaches, I was able to re-architect how I structured my books. Now, I am a five-time number-one bestselling author. Remember, if you believe in yourself, you will have the bravery to act boldly and enjoy the breakthroughs that follow.
Bounty
If you sustain your belief, cultivate bravery, and act boldly, you will inevitably enjoy a bounty of rewards. This might include innovating solutions in your field, becoming indispensable through your commitment to self-development, or achieving personal milestones that once seemed out of reach. In my case, by institutionalizing boldness, I’ve reaped the rewards of being a bestselling author, successful inventor, an award-winning documentary filmmaker, and one of the top keynote speakers on innovation and healthcare in the world. My family has traveled the globe with me on this journey, and I am humbled by the fact that someone lik
