It's not a matter of "if" - it's a matter of "when" you realize that exogenous trends surrounding your career constantly collide to produce a new synthesis of your professional self.
Among these are 3 driving forces - regardless of professional tenure or age - are:
💪First, conscious or not, you have been part of "The Gig Economy" for a while now. Either through numerous roles within your current employer or shifting employers into similar roles. Kudos for the realization that the career path is non-linear and takes pivoting and re-invention to connect the "gig" dots.
💯Secondly, you are most likely deemed to approach or surpass "The 100-Years Life". As advancements in healthcare and welfare propose an average increase to your life expectancy at birth of 3-4 years per every decade lived.
💥As Longevity and Gig Economy collide - it will produce the bringing back into the workforce those synonymous to experience and wisdom again.
🤑Cognizant of this and embracing the proven formula of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" - the reality is that it will take more than the dependency of Salary as an employee (and its income dent towards saving for retirement Investing) to suffice for Longevity solvency stretch.
I am venturing a new 1:1/1:n mentoring initiative with CO@CHING🔛 - a Cohort approach to Professional "Persona" branding through LinkedIn mentoring and access to a collaborative Knowledge Base for mentees.
