Seth’s Blog: Getting picked (need to vs. want to):
It’s easier than ever to imagine a successful project or career or organization that isn’t dependent on being picked by those with power.
If you’re frustrated that you’re not getting picked, one plan is to up your game, to hustle harder, to figure out how to hone a pitch and push, push, push. But in the era of picking yourself, it seems to me that you’re better off finding a path that doesn’t require you get picked in order to succeed.
