I know that I should have them, but I don’t. It’s something I’ve procrastinated. Successful people I know have told me that they procrastinated it too, but when they finally put in the work to write out their core beliefs, everything changed for the better.  So when I had the opportunity to talk to Robyn Bolton, founder & chief navigator at MileZero, about innovation, I wanted to spend time talking about her 5 core beliefs because her short list says a ton about how she views innovation and how she helps her clients do great things.  Robyn Bolton’s 5 core beliefs:  * Innovation is something different that creates value. * Innovation requires curiosity, courage, and commitment. * Any organization can innovate, and any person can be an innovator. * People (even your customers and your boss) decide with their hearts and justify with their heads. * Ideas are a dime a dozen. Decisions are priceless. Action is perfection.  To me, this list tells me much of what I need to know about Robyn and her innovation approach.  The lesson here for Rebel Intrapreneurs (and me personally) is this: written core beliefs clarify what we think about a topic and how we approach it. All of us should write down our core beliefs.  More about Robyn Bolton:  Robyn’s 5 Core Beliefs Her company, MileZero Robyn’s Innovation Assessment The Adobe Kickbox story blog On Linkedin On X  Today’s episode is brought to you by Figma.
