How To Avoid Having Your Job Outsourced
- Be special – Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and anyone with a global market
- Be specialized – High end knowledge workers who are among the best at what they do like surgery, lawyers, engineers, etc.
- Be anchored – Any job that must be done in a specific location like, chefs, plumbers, nurses, hair dressers, cleaning ladies, etc.
- Be adaptable – constantly acquire new skills, knowledge, and expertise so you can constantly create value beyond the vanilla version of whatever you do. Learning how to learn is key.
