Being proactive and taking the initiative is not an option anymore; it is a requirement.
In a world where we waited for our creation to go to the masses through the distributor, now easily do so by opening a storefront to showcase art as it is created.
We don't need to wait for the perfect mentors to show up in our workplaces; we can use social networks for inspiration and connect with those who were once invisible and out of reach. We cannot rely on others to make us a perfect career. The onus of that is upon us!
They say opportunity knocks on our door; what if it does not work for us? Then go create the door first! Where we liked spending our entire career at one company, we are creating opportunities that keep us satisfied by connecting and changing jobs that don't keep us happy.
Where we used to turn to confidential sources of capital from small groups, more so now than ever, we can thrive on our ideas by going online and raising an emotional appeal for what we solve to expand support from a completely unknown quarter of crowd-sources!
We can no more count on a future filled with signposts and certainty. That is a little scary until we bring the initiative back to ourselves!
