Show Notes
In this episode, Jeannette speaks about the importance of going on your own journey and doing things at your own pace. She shares several examples of extraordinarily successful people who have done exactly that. Then quickly outlines how you can identify and follow your own path at your own pace.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Everyone is different, which is why a one size fits all approach to life and careers does not work.
- People need to move at their own pace. For example, not everyone is ready to launch into a lifelong career immediately after leaving school.
- There is nothing that says you have to set up a successful business when you are still young.
- Many phenomenally successful people have not had a traditional university education. Some are even dyslexic.
- Some people never have kids, others have theirs with several different partners. Not everyone wants or needs a nuclear family to be happy.
- Einstein said: “Not everything that counts can be counted” (identified and quantified)
- If you don´t yet know what you want out of life, don´t beat yourself up. It will become clear to you over time.
- Don´t be pressured by other people and what you think is expected of you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Going at your own pace and creating your own journey is so important.’
‘Embrace the fact that it’s your life. It´s not anyone else´s life. ´
‘Choose the things that are going to make you happy and not someone else.’
