You are the Restless Maverick
You've mastered possibility, but you haven't yet mastered mastery.
You live for the next idea, the fresh angle, the brilliant pivot. You see opportunities others overlook and move faster than most can follow. Your energy is infectious. Your vision pulls people in.
But you get bored fast. Once something starts working, you feel the itch to move on. The next venture beckons before the current one reaches its potential. You tell yourself it's vision, it's adaptability.
But part of you knows the truth: you're leaving unfinished gold behind. And the thrill of the new is starting to feel less like freedom and more like escape.
Your Default Future: The Drained Wanderer
If you keep playing this game, you'll start a hundred things and finish nothing that matters.
Your brilliant ideas will become half-built ventures. Your team will stop believing in your vision because they've seen you abandon it before. You'll look back at a career full of potential and absent of legacy.
Your need for stimulation will prevent you from ever building something that transcends you. It will keep you playing small, because big requires boring, and boring feels like death. Network effects, operational excellence and category dominance only compound for those who commit. Whilst you're chasing the next spark, your competitors will build monopolies, own categories, create movements that reshape industries.
You'll be known as the person with great ideas, not great impact.
Your Reckoning: Motion or Mastery
If you stay on this path to the Drained Wanderer, you'll scatter yourself thinner with each new venture, until you finally burn out or resign yourself to being the person with potential who never built anything real.
The only way to build something that endures is to pass through the Reckoning of Commitment.
This is the moment you stop confusing freedom with restlessness and realise that true power comes from focused force. The shift: you trade scattered energy for sustained impact, endless options for deliberate mastery.
Your Preferred Future: The Devoted Visionary
On the other side of the Reckoning lies a different kind of breakthrough.
You're four years into building the same company, and instead of feeling trapped, you're seeing possibilities your competitors can't even imagine because you know every lever in the system. When you get bored, you don't start something new, you go deeper: you rebuild the pricing model, you systematise what used to be art, you turn good into unbeatable.
Your team stops bracing for the next pivot and starts compounding their expertise. The network effects kick in. The operational excellence becomes your moat. And your idea finally becomes the movement you always knew it could be.
You still see possibilities others miss, but now you have the staying power to turn those into transformed industries and a legacy you’re proud of.
Your Invitation
Every Restless Maverick must face this choice: stay on the path to Drained Wanderer or pass through the Reckoning of Commitment to become the Devoted Visionary.
But here's why you can't do this alone. Commitment feels like death to you. Every fibre of your being screams "this is a trap" when you try to focus. You need structures you can't escape, accountability you can't charm your way out of, and someone who won't let you seduce them with your next brilliant idea.
You need external constraint because your internal compass is calibrated for motion, not depth.
