Great advice from my newly found cousin Jim!

The weird part is, that is exactly how I have led my life!

Worked my twenties going up the ladder at the Norwich Bulletin, only to be shafted by a corporate takeover. Worked my thirties and forties taking a commercial printing company from bankruptcy to great success, only to be wiped out by the internet and the digital age. Worked my fifties selling on commission. From advertising to Audi cars. My sixties were substitute teaching at technical high schools.

Now I am seventy. Next up: Publishing more books and prints of Norwich’s glorious past and future. Promoting my hometown any way I can!

The future is my finish line!

That post captures the essence of the attitude and method you need to carry yourself through your life and career.

You need to continually reinvent yourself and find new paths to follow.

You can never presume that what you will doing at this moment is what you will be doing the next you.

You can’t sit back and rest on your laurels, but must always be prepared for the next step in your journey.

The finish line in your overall success?

The future!

Thanks for the insight ‘cuz!
