Thinking Differently About Your Career
Don’t Waste Your Time Living Someone Else’s Life
Do what You love. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.
If you’re an employee stuck in a job you hate, take steps today, even small ones, to find a company or position more compatible with your skills and your true calling. You will never be inspired enough to create innovations if you are not passionate about your role.
If you manage a team of people in a large corporation, develop intrapreneurs, giving people the times, resources, and encouragement to follow their passions and develop new ideas and above all, the confidence to risk failure.

“When people love their jobs for the work itself, they often feel committed to the organization that make that work possible.
Committed employees are likely to stay with an organization even when they are pursued by headhunters waving money.” -Harvard Business Review
“Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came with the Mac, IBM was spending at least one hundred times more on R&D. It’s not about money. It’s about the people you have, how you’re led, and how much you get it. – Steve Jobs”
Never underestimate the power of a bold vision to move society forward
Does your company or cause have a bold, specific, concise and consistent vision that everyone on your term can internalize? If not, it’s time you got one.
Do you know someone who has motivated others by communicating a big vision for his or her company or initiatives ?
Pay attention to how such people incorporate that vision into their conversations.
