John Sanei: What’s Your Moonshot?

John Sanei is a trend specialist, business strategist, keynote speaker, author, entrepreneur, and a Singularity University faculty member, working with clients across industries and around the world. He’s the author of the book What's Your Moonshot?: Future-proof yourself and your business in the age of exponential disruption* and also the newly released book Magnetiize: Stop the chase. Understand the change. Take control of your future*.

Key Points

  • The lens we use to look at the world and ourselves is actually how the world reacts back to us.
  • What we look for is what we find.
  • When you finish complaining and moaning, are you empowered or disempowered?
  • We have an incredible privilege of choice to either take responsibility or to blame.

The 3 types of victims:

  1. Martyr victim – the victim who feels sorry for themselves
  2. Arrogant inferior victim – the person who cuts others down so he or she can feel better about themself
  3. Arrogant superior victim – the person who thinks all problems are below them, that everybody else is a fool who can’t do anything right
