Career and Life Wisdom
Learning inside and outside of your immediate industry helps with your long-term career survival in the rapidly changing economy. It won’t be slowing down any time soon, so I hope you chose to unlock your thinking today! Perhaps you saw my earlier post about Reid Hoffman’s book, “The Start-up of You” and his concept of permanent beta.

Pushing You!
There are very few absolutes in this world. And what we might think is a rule or strong immoveable opinion today will likely be seen differently in the future. Challenge your beliefs once in a while. See if they still make sense.
