What’s common between Nike and Pret a Manger?
Just that CEOs of both firms began as interns in their respective firms 20+ years ago!
Imagine that! Starting off as an intern and working your way right to the very top.
Incredible, isn’t it?
More than incredible, to me it simply shows the power of discipline and dedication.
Way too many influencers today suggest quick job changes looking for fast promotions and salary raises.
Nothing wrong in that. Except that there’s no one set rule for success. What works for one may not work for another. It’s so insanely tough to go from intern to CEO that there must only be a handful of such people across the world.
Intern to CEO, dropping out of college, fast job switches and many other things, all need selective customization to our own lives. Blindly following one lane may be disastrous.
