You will have far fewer colleagues; it gets increasingly lonely and there is much greater responsibility. The level of fear, uncertainty, and doubt will jump and so will stress levels. Hence, all the more reason why you should be a self-starter.”

You become highly-skilled at it until you're an invincible corporate giant -- king of a mountain that means very little in the end.”
