In chapter four of Cal Newport’s book entitled “So Good They Can't Ignore You”, he describes two different approaches to thinking about work - a craftsman mindset versus a passion mindset.

In Steve Martin’s book, Born Standing Up, he describes his constant work to craft better performances. His passion for the work grew with his expertise and accolades.

Crafters mindset & Entrepreneur mindset

Crafters and entrepreneurs focus on the value they are producing for someone else. Entrepreneurs collect information, interpret it in their own way, and create something transformational for the world to consume.

They take in information, apply their interpretation and create something new - transformation. 

Passion mindset vs Employee Mindset

In the employee mindset, individuals are focused on how their jobs make them feel and what they're getting out of their jobs rather than emphasizing the contribution, transformation, and advancement of others. This revolves around the “what's in it for me?” culture.

Real-life examples following information, interpretation, and transformation flow…

  • Steve Martin took information about magic tricks, comedy, entertainment at Disney, and quirky personalities. He interpreted all this information in his own way and created an act that only he could do. He made an artform that entertained his audiences and shifted comedy forever. 
  • With this podcast, I’m interpreting information from books, my professional and personal experiences, and my education and transforming it into podcasts. My hope is that these podcasts help you and others to elevate their businesses, careers, and overall lives.

 

Episodes 99, 100, 101, 102, and 103 describe just some of the takeaways from So Good They Can't Ignore You and Born Standing Up.

There are many other lessons in these books so I encourage you to read or listen to them. yourself! You can find them here
