The 200-Year Plan
When I was considering whether to pursue a Master's in Counseling, I went to talk to a highly respected career professional about it.
When I lamented that it would take me until I was 45 to complete the program, he said to me, ”You need to think in terms of a 200-year plan.“
At the time I thought he was crazy, but now I hear myself saying the exact same thing to my clients.
“There has never been a time in history when you could be a business of one and compete as effectively as you can today. Technology has leveled the playing field, and being small actually gives you the advantage of being able to respond faster to change. Power is passing from the large organization to individuals who are willing to accept it.” (p. 119)
