There's a strong correlation between management thinking and personal growth thinking. Most young people make an analogy between their personal lives/careers and startups. But for older people, an analogy to large companies if WAY more fertile.

I'd say about half my consulting work in the last 8 years (wow, it's really been that long) has been with large companies and I find myself unconsciously analyzing my own life challenges with the same buckets I use for larger companies.

This btw gets REALLY confusing if you're an older person running a one-person business. The business is a young, startup-like thing, but it is so co-extensive with your life that it is also like your (middle-aged, complicated) life. So you have to switch between the two modes.

Being a free agent Gen Xer is in some ways like being a millennial. Similar adulting challenges of broken down working and lifing. We just hit millennialism before the millennials themselves did, but were slightly better prepared for it.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1082386938600902656 …
