It's very situational, but this is what you want to do.
You want to put together a kitchen cabinet with two or three people that you trust.
And ask them for coffee and just lay it all out for them.
Say, you know, I'm kind of, I'm thinking about a career change.
I would just love your advice.
You're a smart person.
And hopefully they'll ask you a bunch of questions and you can give them a full transparent lay of the land and they can advise you.
But there's no one size fits all here.
And I get a lot of outreach from people in the advertising and the agency business, which I used to be in technically as a brand strategist saying,
I'm in this industry, I know it's dying, what do I do?
All right, if you're under the age of 35 and you have the ability to jump ship and go to a different part of the marketing ecosystem, specifically the digital part, then get out.
But if you're 45,
and your clients like you and you're making good money, yeah, I'd say ride it out and just start packing away money such that at 55 or 60, you can quit and do something else, whether it's teaching high school math or being an artist and you have the money to do whatever you want.
But I just hate the idea of leaving when you have momentum.
And I, again, don't know how much momentum you have at Ferrari.
So what do you do?
One, see if you could do a pivot internally to assemble a kitchen cabinet of people who can advise you and ask you good questions and help you make this decision because you'd benefit from some outside questions.
And I don't I don't make any decision, important decision anymore without talking to you.
a few people because I used to think leadership and masculinity was about assessing the situation and making bold, dramatic decisions.
No, that's called being reckless.
