At the age of 20-30, workforce tend to work long hours and willing to do work after hour, a simple "thank you" or "a treat to the restaurant" is enough to compensate those long hours of work for the employer, it's the age of exploration and excitement, "we care not of what the future hold, we only care what challenges to overcome today" - it's the hymn they all sang :D
At the age of 30-40, workforce has other priorities - that is building a family, focus on settle-ling down, no longer interested in working long hour, no longer satisfy with "thank you notes" or "a treat to the restaurant" , workforce start to think, start to weight the cost vs benefit of working, start thinking "there's more than this", workforce start thinking of having their own business, more free time for families, more variable revenues beside the regular monthly income - the world is starting to weight in-, the workforce feel they are not maximizing the talent they have.
At the age of 40-50 workforce has their past life played in slow-motion it's regret or pride, they look forward in optimism or in pessimism , there time is running out if they don't invest enough in building business network or business capital the have less options, if they invest enough they can reap the fruits of their network all doors seems to open wider and wider.
Seeing this, I try to create a simple infographic showing what skills is needed to plan our career and what problems and solutions that might appear in ones career from time to time.
Hopefully this simple infographic could help us all in planning our future.
