When my Flowpath demands quick decisions, I rely
on my trusty Nimbility to guide me. It's like having a
built-in Ready, Fire, Aim! response, where I take action
first and then adjust my aim based on the outcome. This
mantra is etched in my brain: prioritize swift action over
perfect planning.
In a world where the only constant is change,
Nimbility is the ultimate superpower. It's the ability to
stay one step ahead of the curve, to pivot when necessary,
and to always land on your feet. And trust me, it's a skill
that will serve you well on your own Flowpath.
Sara, a 27-year-old fax machine sales manager, is the
queen of the Ready, Fire, Aim! approach.
Faced a pantyhose predicament under the Florida
sun. She didn’t like the panty lines or the seam that
showed through her open-toed shoes, but she did
appreciate the control top's benefits. Then she had a
brainwave.
Using scissors, she cut the feet out of a pair of
control-top hose and wore them under her pants. "That's
when it hit me," she says, recalling the magic moment.
"That's how Spanx came to be.”
Sara quit her job and spent the next two years and
$5,000 of her savings visiting clothing manufacturing
plants up and down North Carolina for research.
