Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? What are your plans,and where are you going to end up five years from now. These are common questions employers tend to ask potential candidates, when they're coming for an interview.
Here's the problem, the problem is think about it. Every successful entrepreneur, in whatever business or industry, that they are in right now. Think about how, things almost never go according to plan. I mean, take a look at the most prominent, iconic entrepreneurs that's out there right now. If you were to ask them 10 years ago, if they thought they would be doing, what they doing today do you think their answer would be well yes of course I have everything planned out, everything was according to plan, when 10 years ago I mapped out everything, I'm where I am today right now. Guaranteed most of the time, their answer would be no, there were tonne of curve balls, there were tonne of obstacles, challenges things that were totally unexpected, things that we didn't even know existed. We did know what we didn't know, until we actually did it.And that's why we ended up here today, because of our ability to adopt to situations.
What i am saying is while it's great to plan. Planning for the long term which is 5 years, 10 years, it never adds up. Things will never go according to plan. It's not about mapping everything in advance before you actually do it, but rather, having a plan but being flexible withat the end the plan of action. Because at the end of the day,there always will be obstacles and challenges and things that will make you take a detour. But it is how you adapt to these situations that will make all of the difference.
