In the future, trust will matter more than degrees

Trust, not titles

In the near future, trust will be more valuable than your degree.

I was talking with my sister the other day. She just finished her degree in graphic design and she’s incredibly talented. But I told her that being great at one skill isn’t enough anymore. The next few decades will belong to independent, multi-skilled workers who can handle diverse responsibilities.

You see, I believe the hiring landscape is changing. Companies will need fewer employees, but they will need them to be of a much higher quality.

When competition gets fierce, trust becomes the deciding factor. And trust isn’t built with a piece of paper; it’s built with proof of competence.

So, what’s the best way to build that proof if you don’t want to spend years climbing a corporate ladder?

Start your own business.

Even a small, one-person online business is the ultimate tool for career growth. It forces you to learn useful skills you would never encounter otherwise. It can create your own income streams, giving you independence. And most importantly, it provides undeniable online leverage and public proof that you can deliver.

Your business becomes your resume. It shows you can be trusted to create value. And by the time a company is interested in you, you have the ultimate power of declining the offer. Because you will find your career independently of any corporation.

I explain exactly how to get started on this path in my free guide Early Retirement Plan. It’s designed to help you build your skills, your income, and your proof of competence. Have a look right here.
