Keep Your Ears Open

It’s amazing how one simple conversation can change the course of your career… but only if your ears are open to listen. You see, too often we’re focused on just what matters to us in the moment. We simply can’t see beyond our current struggles, goals, and ideas to consider what could be next.

The next time someone starts a conversation with you on a seemingly irrelevant topic, give it a good listen. On the surface you may have little to no interest, but peel it back a layer and an unexpected connection just might emerge.

It just happened for me this week and it may have changed the course of my career trajectory forever. So keep your ears open, don’t discount people and conversations too soon, and your life just may travel in new and interesting directions.
