Did you know that play is a big deal in the animal kingdom? From cats chasing laser pointers to kids building sandcastles, play is everywhere. It's not just a human thing - it's a nature thing. Renowned researchers like Panksepp have shown us that play is hardwired into our DNA. It's how we learn, grow, and outsmart life's challenges.
Pushing beyond the comfort zone—it's the self-help industry's favorite cliche, isn't it? You can hardly scroll through your feed without seeing some over-caffeinated influencer preaching about the glory of discomfort. "Leap into the unknown!" they shout, "Embrace the fear!" And while they're grinning through their perfect teeth, the rest of us mortals are here on earth, grappling with the genuine, sweaty-palmed terror of actually doing it.
At Influential U, the term "gAIM" signifies an approach to setting and achieving aims by reimagining them as play. We’ve evangelized “know thy aims” for years. This twist on the concept encourages individuals to view carefully crafted aims through the lens of game strategy, blending the intensity of deliberate practice with the spirit of play. Becoming a “gAIM Master” can accelerate success, turning every challenge into a strategic and enjoyable journey.
In this installment, we have the pleasure of sitting down with Nicole Tripodi, a dynamic entrepreneur and advocate for accurate thinking, goal setting, and the success of small businesses.
