Ever felt like you were stuck on someone else's timeline for your life and career? We've been there. In this episode, Praxis CEO Cameron Sorsby and Praxis COO Mitchell Earl break down the "Timeline Myth" for your education and career.
Chances are you've encountered this same myth. You go to high school, then college, and by your mid-20s your holding down a stable career, working towards retirement in your 60s. We say that timeline – and the milestones it implies – is bogus.
You're on your own discovery process and your own development curve. Different stages along your development curve may call for different velocity or direction. You may want to accelerate and move faster than the traditional timeline. Or maybe go off-script and pursue something entirely different. Which is great! Naturally, there are tradeoffs to consider. But in general, what's most important is owning your journey.
The key is figuring out how to conduct your own discovery process, learning to compare yourself (today) vs. yourself (in the past) rather than comparing yourself to your peers.
Your life and career are very long. You've got a ton of time to try stuff. Make mistakes. Recover. Pivot. Change directions. And more.
As real estate developer and entrepreneur Eric Weatherholtz once said, "We overestimate what can be accomplished in a year and we underestimate what can be accomplished in a decade."
The same is true for your life and career. You're on your own journey. You get to set the speed.
