When people ask about my career background, I tell them I spent 30 years in the corporate world, and I’m now into 30 years of entrepreneurship.

At first, it felt a little strange. Do I want to work another three decades? Can I work another 30 years? And how will technology change my work?

It’s year 5 of my coaching, consulting, and speaking business. It’s year 3 of my husband Kevin’s steakhouse, Pacific Standard Prime. And while it hasn’t been an easy road (pandemic, anyone?), the momentum continues to build. Entrepreneurship increasingly feels like a sustainable path for both of us.

While I’ve been busy pursuing my 60-year career, I had no idea it was a broader trend. Until I read Here Comes the 60-Year Career in The Wall Street Journal this month.

The ancillary lesson here? You could be part of a bigger trend without even knowing it. What are you doing or thinking in your own life that could be part of a societal shift? What trends are you setting?
