Editorial Review

Welcome to the “new normal” of work, employment, and career success. We have moved in just few years from an age of affluence, when the stock market was booming, the unemployment rate was below 5%, and people were becoming millionaires and billionaires all around us, to a new age of turbulence, when all bets are off. Today, the economic situation has changed completely, and it is not going to change back in our lifetimes.    We are going through a massive paradigm shift. When a shift like this in thinking or in society takes place, only a few people recognize that it is occurring. Most people are stuck in a comfort zone where they keep on doing the same old things in the same old way, simply assuming that the economic and financial meltdown of 2007–2010 was a bump in the road, and that everything will soon get back to normal.    They are right, but the definition of “normal” has changed. From this day forward, if you want to succeed and achieve everything that is possible for you, you are going to have to work smarter and more diligently than before. To move to the top of your field, you are going to have to start a little earlier, work a little harder, and stay a little later.

Unfortunately, we have become soft as a people. The vast majority of Americans expect to get something for nothing, money that they have not earned and do not deserve. They look for fast, easy ways to get rich and are suckers for the next “get rich quick” scheme that comes down a pike.

The very idea of making money the old fashioned way, by earning it, is viewed as unfair and unkind. Such trend has been exported to the rest of the world.

An attitude of self-responsibility goes hand in hand with success, happiness, self-control, and high earnings in every area of life.

The biggest mistake you can make is to ever think that you work for anyone other than yourself. No matter who signs your paycheck, you are always self-employed, from the time you take your first job until the day you retire.

You are the head of an entrepreneurial enterprise with one employee—yourself—responsible for selling one product—your personal services.

Companies that have clear, written values, and mission statements based on those values, are consistently more profitable than those that do not. Likewise, individuals who have clear core values and personal mission statements seem to be far more effective and successful than those who do not.
