Exactly!! That’s definitely what I have learned over the past 18 months… Build in flexibility to your life, both in how you use your time and in your ability to learn new things – you never know when you’ll need it.

When you’re caught in a rut in a big corporate job, then don’t think that it’s the best place to stay because it’s safe – it’s not.

Don’t think that the only route to success or “benchmarking” your progress in life is having a comparable job to everyone else – it’s a road to discontent.

It’s so refreshing to break out!

I never thought about this concept that you expressed in your article. I worked in corporate america for 25 years and I really did not think of my self as a CEO even though I always had some sort of business which I did in parallel. I do see how in this new economic situation that we are all in how we need to reconfigure how we think and as a CEO be open to all opportunities. We must use our talents to create the type of life we want. We all can no longer depend on jobs as in times past, I think that to be financially successfull we must always have several income streams.

I hope that your article help other renew their minds.
