A YEAR FROM NOW YOU WILL WISHED YOU HAD STARTED TODAY

# Either you change the way you do your job, or your job changes, or it might disappear altogether!

#in fact, when you get older and all you can talk about is your experience, it’s nothing more than vanity!

You can be old and young at the same time... You cannot afford to think old!

# You must complement it with a constant desire and hunger to learn new things and change your career, again and again and again.

Have you ever noticed how hard it is for a team to win back to back World Cup soccer titles?

# When you have a winning team, you don't want to make changes, but that’s when change must be uppermost in your mind.

# Much of our older executive corps in Africa really battle with change, and wear their experience as a right of entitlement. This needs to change. Management and leadership roles are not immune to change.

# Experience is important but it is not enough.

Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus (70+) wrote something interesting. (He’s a social entrepreneur that pioneered the ideas of microcredit and microfinance). He said his greatest challenge has been to change the mindset of people.

“Mindsets play strange tricks on us,” he wrote. “We see things the way our minds have instructed our eyes to see…”

Now don’t let the idea of change panic you. Get your mindset around the idea that in this rapidly changing world, we’ll ALL need to be prepared to change our career, again and again and again.

I saw a quote recently that made me smile: “A year from now you will wish you had started today!” ''
