PATHWAYS
Every opportunity has a hidden path.
"Stop waiting on the obvious move."
Careers don't move in straight lines. The move that gets you there is rarely the one in front of you.
Why it matters
The straight line is a trap.
Most people wait for the obvious next step. The ones who move learned to see the step that isn't obvious.
Opportunities don't announce themselves
The path to the thing you want is usually a few moves away and around a corner. Seeing it is the work.
It is pattern recognition, not luck
People who 'always land on their feet' aren't lucky. They've trained the muscle that spots the path.
You can practice it daily
A couple of minutes a day on someone else's situation rewires how you see your own.
The trap
"There's nothing to do but wait my turn."
Waiting your turn is how you watch other people take theirs. There is almost always a move; the work is learning to see it.
Start free
Train the eye that finds the path.
Once you're in, you solve one path a day. Two minutes, and it changes how you see your own.
