Technology that helps us to communicate, save and improve lives, or make better decisions in our businesses, faster.
But this will only happen if we’re working on truly world-changing technology.
Go forth and conquer software#
Marc Andreessen recently laid out an amazingly tight argument for why software will pretty much take over the world. And refreshingly, I didn’t need any modifiers to describe these startups: nothing about “watching television while tweeting,” or “facilitating healthcare with local coupons.” No, these have the potential to be game-changing services from entrepreneurs that have set their eyes on the dream. In the past few months alone, I’ve heard of new companies that stand to radically transform how we interact with healthcare, blow open television consumption, and make education mobile. Today’s revolving technology landscape will favor those with a bias toward speed, change, and disruption. With this transition of old to new, and new to old, comes a strikingly rare opportunity to build the next great technology powerhouses. From the really old facing oscillating strategies and leaders to the newly old churning through CEOs as fast as they dead-pool products, refocusing the entire company on competing with Zuckerberg, or causing major customer confusion as they shift into the future or even the older-new, content with a pivot or two before a friendly landing into Google or Facebook. The old technology guard of Silicon Valley is rapidly unhinging. Practise makes perfect so that when fate delivers your dream job, you are in the best position to come out on top.Editor’s note: Guest author Aaron Levie is the founder and CEO of Box.net.
Self-fating works when you manage it, not when it is rampant across every facet of life! To those of you who are currently looking for work, do as much as you can to find the best role for you. Whatever gets you through matters, and fate matters to many of us, so if you are struggling with it and are beginning to think about compromising, don’t! Stay strong and fate will deliver incremental improvements. I thank fate and 212F for not having to be in that position. My sister goes on about it all the time, love your job or leave it. I am grateful to 212F for the gift of deep down work happiness and optimism. I am going to kick so many goals this year, not just for me, but for the leadership and awesome team members I spend much of my life with at 212F. then a perfect, progressive position was advertised at 212F - for a self-fater I'd go as far as to say 'it was a job made for me'! Roll on 2 years and I have never been in a job where I have felt that I can have more impact in the coming year than I do right now. In my situation, with my inherent traits, just when I was starting to think about compromising on work/life balance, salary expectations etc. That is an absolute guess, but figure I would be pretty close to the mark. We most likely make up for the percentage of people who try meditation and cannot re-program, focus our mind on a single pin hole and elevate to another plain too. Work hard, worry about it, do all you can to get a job like everybody else, but fate will deliver. There is a segment, like me, who do not self-analyse as well as we should, because we trust fate. It may even work for more than a half, but I tell you one thing right now.
Go forth and conquer professional#
My sister is a Professional Career Coach and on Linked In and Instagram she posts ‘break it down, analyse what you are good at, what don’t you want in your role, what are non-negotiables in your next company etc.’ I am sure this self-analysis must work for half of people looking for work, or determining what their next career goal or step is. Things were looking bleak, even in a best case scenario! That was if I even got asked to interview. I knew I had to wait 6 weeks until jobs would start appearing early Feb 2019, and then another few weeks for a first interview. 2 years ago I was broke, was rapidly losing confidence in what I was good at, did not want to go ‘back in’ to B2C loyalty or global corporate and at an emotional dead-end. In September 2018 I lost my contract role. I want to compliment all of the self-faters who have lost something over the past 12 months, with the most common being income.
