Again, we have to take ownership for our own lives. Yes, it's great if you have a great job and the company is looking after you, they have their policies and they have some internal, but we got to look at our own life with full ownership and that goes for our career as well. Why would we trust that our company look after our career? It's not in their interest. It's taking that self-ownership.

And there's wonderful coaches who can help us to strategize that and look at that and looking at the next level. And also, we shouldn't put all eggs in one basket and trust that the company will employ you for 30 years and then be surprised when there's a layoff next year. So I think... thinking about and having that portfolio kind of career mindset where you're constantly building your portfolio.

Already, if you are in a corporate job, save some money and build up something that is chasing your dreams. What they're lacking is purpose. I'm asking in all my conferences, all my talks, I'm asking them, who in here knows your life purpose? And typically in an audience of 1,000 or 1,500, two hands going up.

that means that people walk around their lives not knowing the purpose and they're completely lost and then they wonder why they fall from failure to failure so that is definitely another thing i'm seeing that lack of purpose

Yeah, again, it's about, and this is linked to purpose. Think what is it that you wanted to do? If you lose your job tomorrow, what would you do? Do you have some passions? Do you have something that is cooking inside you that you would love to do? Start that journey now and map out what it is.

And join some associations, read all the books on that subject and really become an expert in that topic already now. Create the name for yourself. That's so easy these days in this world. And you can build that sort of side career already. And then I heard someone today when we had this conversation said.

Yeah, absolutely. Finding your purpose is definitely a journey. It's not something that is a big crack overnight and just find any kind of direction, as we say. And what happened to me for my journey, I started to become a volunteer for a suicide prevention agency in Singapore, a cause that is big to my heart.

A major portion of my work and my keynotes and so on amounts are donated to that cause and also volunteer for them and so on. That is close to my heart and gives me a lot of meaning to do that. That doesn't mean that's my only purpose. I also find meaning in other things, including keeping fit and helping others to be fit. So, yeah, it's just about starting that journey.
