Neil Peart’s – 10 Rules for Success

Ok, ok, I have a confession to make. I am a Rush fan. They’re probably in my Top 10, perhaps Top 5 of all-time bands. Probably the best 3-piece band on my list. 

Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee, and Neal Peart played for over 35 years and have left a treasure trove of songs for our listening pleasure.

Neil was the drummer, and we lost him to cancer a few years ago. With that loss, the band is no longer playing.

I happened across this Youtube video that shared these 10 Rules of Success from Neil Peart. I’m not going to embellish them in any way, as I think they stand alone as helpful advice in general, but even more valuable to any Agile Coaches in my network. Here are the rules—

  1. Earn your audience

  2. Be restless

  3. Get out of your comfort zone

  4. Learn from others

  5. Create what you like

  6. Infect people with your fire

  7. Don’t read reviews

  8. Create for your ideal audience

  9. Find your inspiration

  10. Never stop experimenting

Please share your thoughts and reactions to how these might relate to your role as a Scrum Master, organizational change agent, leader, or Agile Coach.

I can’t wait to see the replies…

Stay agile my friends,

Bob.
