Most everyone, as they enter the workforce in their late teens or early 20s, has hopes and visions of a successful career. And a significant minority even dream of reaching a high-level executive position - such as vice president or CEO. And a select few have the ultimate dream of calling their own shots and being the owner of the entire enterprise.

Career dreams can be enticing and compelling indeed. But, soon, those dreams are faced by the cold, hard reality of the marketplace. According to Statista.com (a job statistics website), between 2016 and 2018, the majority of individuals changed jobs every one to five years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a long-term lifetime study showed that between the ages of 18 and 48, a person held an average of 11.7 jobs! And once a person is over 50, the likelihood that their job changes will be involuntary (such as from layoffs or disability) tends to increase dramatically. And here’s an eye-popping statistic on the reality of employment in today’s marketplace: According to a 2014 job satisfaction survey by The Conference Board, more than half of American’s are currently unhappy with their job. If we hold all of these career statistics in mind, it paints a picture of great flux; constant change. Depending on one’s circumstances, that flux may be invigorating (such as pursuing a better opportunity for oneself) or unnerving and turbulent (such as suffering a layoff, the bankruptcy of a business, or undesired career change).

You see, Brian Tracy is one of the foremost experts in the world on career success - and he has been a trusted advisor to the world’s top CEOs, sales superstars, entrepreneurs, and managers for more than 40 years
