Takeaway #184:

Monetary return often leads to corporate jealousy.  People may have a limited view of hierarchical status.  The view is often fixed for both you and viewer.  Don’t get trapped in someone else’s misguided world view.  It is limiting only for them – not you – unless you let it do so. 

Additionally, the notion that your new skill set/empowerment (“emancipation”) does not always jibe with other’s  “equation” is important.  As the pupil becomes the teacher, many ex-teachers are reluctant to end the teacher-student relationship.  Be cognizant of the tension, but do not let it limit you.  As your skills reach fruition, it is incumbent on you to communicate in a manner that is digestible for those who are grappling with your growth, i.e., avoid miscommunication leading to complication.  Unfortunately, sometimes they will not hear you, being distracted by their own memory of the unemancipated/former you.  Don’t worry, your new skill set  will allow you many different ways to communicate and make sure that they hear the new successful you.
