Having money doesn’t make you rich. Having options makes you rich – Chris Rock

I love this reminder about the importance of options, especially in today’s economy. For many people, salary from a career or business is the largest asset, and the market volatility indicates a steady paycheck is not at all guaranteed. Therefore the asset isn’t the paycheck; it’s in your ability to work, your valuable skills and expertise, your supportive network. To get rich, nurture your employability — your options.

When was the last time you connected with a colleague outside of your day-to-day work or regular circle of friends?

Do you know what is trending in your line of work and your industry?
