The most expensive career mistake: Getting emotionally attached to your job. After 6+ years in corporate I realised: Companies don't love you back. That's not an opinion. It's fact. When you attach to companies: → They change direction, you lose focus → They cut budgets, you lose stability → They pivot strategy, you lose position Instead, attach to purpose. Here's how: 1/ Define Your Non-Negotiables - Write down your core values - List what truly matters to you - Set your own success metrics 2/ Build Your Foundation - Create a personal brand - Own your skill development - Network outside your company 3/ Play The Long Game - Document your wins - Build systems, not just skills - Focus on market value, not job title Because when you know your mission: - Every job becomes a stepping stone - Every role becomes a chapter - Every setback becomes a lesson Remember: Your company has a backup plan. Do you? Start here: → Write your mission statement → List 3 skills you own (not rent) → Build one asset outside your job The truth is: Jobs are temporary. Purpose is permanent. ♻️ Repost to spread the message! Credit: Noemi Kis✨
