Career gymnastics.

Actual email exchange today:
Me: Why do you think an MBA is what’s missing? The people who sell MBA’s work hard to exploit insecurities. Discover your insecurities and then pretend you want to slay them as much as an Olympian wants to be on the podium
Them: You’re right on about the sell job advice from the MBA folks. $$$$$$ As for insecurities, I’ve been thinking about your question over lunch… there are definitely ones coming to mind already which create some false assumptions about an MBA’s potential to “patch” insecurity. Conquer them head on with focus!
Me: Your first sentence is encouraging because you didn’t try to defend the industry. Your second is vital because you have signaled to me – and more critically to yourself – that you see the pervasive patch syndrome. The last thing i wanna do is discourage anyone from their plans…and at the same time the last thing i wanna do is see someone blindly follow the herd without looking at the vitality and vibrancy of the herd. It also works in reverse when people leave organizations to start their entrepreneurial lifestyle – most don’t make it. The romanticizing hype always covers its tracks about the vitality and vibrancy of its success rate.

‘It’s not a priority”, sounds like the following whether we say these two things or not…
When something is a priority, we figure out a solution. If we don’t figure out a solution, it’s not a priority.

Being on the road reminds me of how important habits are.
You are never tested and tempted to make excuses like you are when you travel – everything about your routine is out of synch.
You’re living in a hotel room.
No kitchen, no car (probably), travel fatigue, weather changes, limited to resources that fit in your travel bag(s), etc.
The interesting thing as i observe people and organizations as a profession is that habits drive everything we do.
We have the power to change habits, but we almost always make excuses for why we can’t change.
To which a brilliant piece of wisdom emerges automatically:
i can’t change.
i won’t change.
Those two are not the same.

Notes to myself…
We over-estimate the short run and under-estimate the long run.
The long way is the short-cut.
Simply decide to begin and go slowly.
Your progress over time will astound you.
And if you don’t begin, your lack of progress will bury you.
