What are the four quadrants of career development that you don’t know?

Recently, a friend asked me a difficult question that no philosopher has answered? "Sister Juan, tell me what the meaning of life is?" What? I don’t know why she asked this question, but I know this question is difficult for me!

Actually, I also want to ask her, have you ever thought about it seriously? What do you want to do in this life? To put it more simply and down-to-earth, have you planned your career development?

When it comes to career development, I believe that each of us wants to rack our brains and put aside one thing that we have racked our brains to figure out. After all, this incident will determine what kind of person each of us will be in this life?

In fact, I have thought about this issue extremely seriously. Because this problem has also bothered me. Later, I learned a thinking logic from a picture, which is the four quadrants of career development. Which position you are in will determine how you define yourself in the future.

Come, take a look at this picture:

As can be seen from the above picture, everyone’s career profit model is divided into four quadrants:

1. In the left quadrant, rent out your life in exchange for value. By constantly exporting your time, energy, and skills in exchange for wages. Generally speaking, employees of enterprises and institutions, employees of private enterprises with professional attributes, to put it bluntly, all migrant workers, have no say in their own time and efforts. There is also a category of self-employed people, that is, small business owners who work for themselves and have the final say on their own time and efforts.

2. The right quadrant is relatively more advanced. People with career orientation in the right quadrant are often people who have gone through deeper thinking. They work hard in the early stage and can control their own lives later because They create a steady stream of wealth by building pipelines and relying on corporate systems. There are two types of people here. One is the boss, who hires others to work for him. There is also a category of entrepreneurs who, by establishing a complete profit system and operating and managing the system, continuously lead more people to create more value and achieve a win-win situation for all parties.

3. Therefore, it is not difficult to see which quadrant is more valuable and where you will invest your time, resources, and energy in the future? Of course it’s the fourth quadrant, the entrepreneur quadrant. As for why? If you want to know more about it, you can come and discuss it with me.

In this era, with limited time, limited resources, limited energy, and unlimited new projects, how we focus and concentrate will determine the fundamental differences in our individual differences in the next five or ten years. Before, I would think that everything I do is the same. As long as you work hard enough, are willing to learn enough, and pay enough, time will definitely give you the results you want. But the fact is that time often gives you wrinkles on your face and wrinkles on your head. Gray hair, of course, there is also the accumulation of life and the so-called wealth of experience. Ten years later, you will find that the results are completely different due to different choices, and it is the thinking logic of life that determines the choice. Therefore, I now firmly believe that choice is greater than effort, because where time is spent, value will be generated. And thinking logic and time are priceless, because it means accumulation, growth, and infinite possibilities.

Finally, back to the title, knowing the future value of the four quadrants of career development, where do you want to place yourself?
