Ep116: How to make better career decisions.
In this episode, Mei Phing discusses the headline story of Elon Musk buying Twitter for $44 billion. Career lessons from this takeover include being clear on your own career direction, seeking advice from a trusted circle, and recognizing that introverts can also be successful.
Key Highlights
💡 Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter may give him leverage over news and allow him to spread his brand’s message, making it a strategic move in his overall business strategy.
💡 Unconventional career decisions can be successful as long as you are clear on your own career direction and ignore others’ judgment.
💡 Having a close circle of trusted advisors can provide valuable perspectives when making important career decisions.
💡 Introverts can also be successful in their career journeys by harnessing their strengths and not feeling the need to conform to extroverted norms.
💡 Success is not limited to extroverts or introverts, but rather about understanding and utilizing your own personality traits effectively.
💡 Making big bets and challenging boundaries has been a common theme in Elon Musk’s career, and this acquisition aligns with his pattern of unconventional decision-making.
💡 It is important to have a clear vision for your own career and understand why you are making unconventional career decisions, even if others may not understand or support them.
