When Job Security Became a Myth We All Believed

The average professional today will change jobs every 4.6 years. That's nearly ten different positions over a typical career-a reality that would have seemed unthinkable just a generation ago. Yet here we are, navigating a landscape where the only constant is change itself. What separates those who thrive from those who merely survive? It's not technical skills or credentials alone. It's something more fundamental: the ability to think like an entrepreneur while acting like a CEO, regardless of your actual job title. This isn't about starting a business-it's about reimagining your relationship with work itself. Every role becomes an opportunity to build something, every challenge a chance to innovate, and every setback a lesson in resilience. The question isn't whether you'll face career disruption, but whether you'll be ready when it arrives.
