Chances are great we are living in a rat race, on the treadmill of mediocrity. Heaven forbid we get so used to this that we never change.

When we stop climbing to feed our need for self worth in title and pay, we start climbing to feed our need for authenticity and contribution.
Because the herd follows the same widely accepted, well worn direction, we accept this as normal and follow along.
That getting ahead requires us to be better than the others vying for the same position.

Agree or disagree, you’ll often hear me talk about the value of, and expectations the student places on, an MBA. Overwhelming I see people get an MBA thinking it will propel their careers forward. Look around in your own world and do the math.

My family also put up with a significant amount of disengagement and time away or locked in a room because of traveling and the amount of time that I had to spend either studying by myself, or studying with my Cohort.”
