Mother Mutual


Money is made in containers. We don’t have the same menus. Resources, Skills and Knowledge mean the answer to “how to make money” is not the same for all of us. The same action doesn’t necessarily deliver the same result. Partly because, in full context, it isn’t the same action. What you see isn’t all there is. The first company I worked for was nicknamed Mother Mutual. There was job rotation. With reciprocal loyalty you could “pick from the menu”, and build along the path to the job you wanted. You could identify a Mentor and see which departments they had rotated through to develop the skills and knowledge for their Container. The Company was prepared for you to do jobs where you weren’t qualified (with faith) because the goal was long term. With vision, you can be your own Mother Mutual. Get an idea of the paths that are available. Don’t panic. Break it down into steps. Build the skills and knowledge you need for the container you want.
