One of the most important parts of our career is keeping up with change.
Duh, right?
But do we?
In an excellent manner?
And one of the most important parts of change is prioritizing where we should change and how we go about it.
Because of the high degree of difficulty and the high risk of being wrong, we flounder long enough so that it becomes something we no longer feel is worth fixing.

We met in 2009 at the National Speaker’s Association (NSA) Winter conference held at Walt Disney World and there was something special about Omekongo that you could simply feel in his presence.

Dare to think unthinkable career thoughts?
You mean to be authentic?
Yes.
And still we (constantly) whisper to ourselves, “But I’m not the owner”.
This complicates things. The owner knows what she’s doing.
Because the owner is the one who has everything to lose. Not the dreamer who sees things from the comfort of the sidelines.
(the complainers of the world generally have no experience with the hard decisions and the competing and changing priorities of being a business owner)
(and owners so easily forget what it’s like to be frustrated on the front line)

Start something.
Offer something the world can’t live without.
Become so rare in your thinking that you become valuable.
Very, very valuable.
