“In your career, even more than for a brand, being safe is risky. The path to lifetime job security is to be remarkable.” -Seth Godin (Purple Cow)
Being safe in your career gets you a couple things. First it gives you false security. Not growing, not progressing, not moving up, but at least it’s familiar. Business is all abut growth and profit, and therefore if someone is not growing within the company, they will be looked down upon. Long gone are the day of staying with the same company for 40 years, getting a gold watch and then retiring.
The only real job security we have is what we come up with ourselves. The only person we can rely on with a 100% certainty is ourselves. Don’t ever let you Job be in charge of your Career.
Until Tomorrow,
