Be an Individual Economist
In planning your future, always keep in the forefront of your mind your individual talents, abilities, and goals. Don’t let yourself be limited by your surroundings. For example, if you work for a company that offers minimal opportunity for advancement, find ways to finesse that system to your greatest advantage, or look elsewhere for opportunities more in line with your aims. If all your colleagues are content Workplace Warriors, stamping that timecard and performing the same repetitive tasks day after day, counting the days and years till retirement, that doesn’t mean you have to settle for that. The value that you generate in your career is completely transferable, wherever you go. Remember that everything you do to advance your career stays with you. Don’t let anyone else set your benchmarks. Decide for yourself, and make it happen. Successful people are loyal first of all to themselves. They know that they must be their own best advocate and seize opportunities, rather than waiting for them to fall in their laps.
