The Way to Freedom Defined

It's the fifth job interview where they never call you back.  It's the seventh time you fall on your butt while learning to snowboard.  It's any rough patch you have to get through before achieving your big goal...if in fact you're chasing the right goal.  What else?

oh yeah, it's also the key to your career, your company's future, and maybe your ultimate happiness.  

The magic of thinking quit.  What does that mean right:)  It means changing the way you think about success and quitting.  I'm reading this great little book every networker must have in there library.  It takes you through many senarios about finding the business you want to be in, being really excited and focused and then hitting what's called THE DIP.  The key is to push through the dip and when that happens you will be free.  This is the key to your success.  These dips are designed to be there.  Academia doesn't want too many unmotivated people to attempt medical school, so they set up a screen that separates the doctors from the psychologists.  If can't handle organic chemistry, well, then, you can't go to medical school.  The same thing happens to people who dream of the untold riches and power that accrue to the CEO of a fortune 500 company.  Private jets, fancy country clubs, unchecked decision making power.  Who wouldn't want to live like royalty.  But when you look at the resume of a typical CEO, you'll see that he endured a twenty-five year dip before landing the job.  I't's easy to be a CEO, it's hard getting there.  My advise is to make sure the business you are in is the right one, feels right, the training is second to none and GET YOURSELF THROUGH THE DIP AS FAST AS YOU CAN.  There and only there will you find true freedom.
