Subscribe To The Forbes Careers Newsletter We make other people, things, events, and conditions more powerful than we are so we can look in the mirror and say "See? It's my age, my degree, the economy, the fact that I don't have powerful friends - those are the reasons I'm not doing what I want to be doing!" "It's because I don't have the right degree.
It is easy to put up barriers and say "You know why my career isn't going places? It's because I don't know the right people!" Now they know influential people, because they are influential themselves! Millions of successful people around the world didn't know anybody with a drop of influence or power when they started out. They crash and burn because they do not have the self-awareness and powerful learning that you get from overcoming obstacles in your way. Their friends and connections can only take them so far. What typically happens when someone's career is carried along by their influential friends is that at some point they hit a wall. You'd never have to ask "What do I want?" How would you ever find out?įriends in high places are overrated if you ask me. However, in that scenario you would never have to (that is, get to) stop and think about your career. That would be great in one respect, because you'd have plenty of money. If you had gazillions of influential friends and family members who could put in a good word for you, you might get one plum position after another. Success is something you define for yourself and seek on your own. They may have been true at one time, but they're not true anymore. There are a lot of business adages that are not true.
