The idea
Do not stay inside traditional lanes. Many of the most important opportunities form where professions, technologies and industries blur together.
This idea is one of the 26 principles in Jim Carroll’s Mastering 2026 series, a framework for adapting personal and organizational thinking to exponential change.
Why it matters
The series treats the principle as an operating discipline rather than a slogan: something to use when assumptions, skills, business models and decision cycles are changing faster than traditional planning systems were designed to handle.
