We celebrate the so-called “self-made” man or woman. But is there really such a being? NYU professor and entrepreneur Scott Galloway says there is not….and those who are doing well, would do well to ask how much of their good fortune is a truly theirs…. or an unmerited gift.
Galloway writes: “People embellish their origin stories, as it’s the only thing others have to go on — from potential employers and friends to potential mates. We are the product of our circumstances, personally and professionally, and a good origin story confers meaning to our life and career. We should recognize that and embrace it…but also be honest about it.”
Are you being honest about how you got to where you are? Time to check our your “Origin Story.”
