Catch the tailwinds
One of the easiest ways to increase your career upside is to simply go where the action is.
Look around.
What industries are hot? Where is the growth? Where are the most interesting, pioneering people? What are the rebels and pirates talking about and tinkering with?
That’s where you’ll likely find the most opportunity.
Breaking smart
The best essay series we’ve ever come across for identifying the “moment” we’re in – the digital age – is the Breaking Smart series by Venkatesh Rao.
You will start to see more opportunities than ever before!
Quote of the Day
“I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
― Douglas Adams
