Can You Skip to the Good Part? Recalibrating Your Career (and Life!)
I rarely start a post with a soundtrack recommendation, but today, this song is the mood of this post.
Old Model
Because today I want to talk about one of the biggest shifts in work paradigms of all time. The belief that you have to pay your dues.
It doesn’t always sound so straightforward. Sometimes it sounds like, “No one wants to work anymore.” “Time is money.” “Everyone thinks they are an influencer.” “This is how we’ve always done it.” or “Good luck making a million dollars with no discernable skills.”
The Old Model was to get in on the ground floor, work hard, get promoted, and climb to the top, little by little, rung by rung, sacrificing your health, relationships, and TIME.
And while each generation has refined that process to reclaim work/life balance, a tipping point volume of people has recently said NO.
No thanks. Not for me. Not interested in working for a lifetime in the hopes that it will pay off and someday I’ll get to…
