DISCLAIMER:
Remember, I love provoking. Throughout this course, you might hear me say things that push you to think differently, to reconsider, to own your thoughts and take action.
I do this on purpose because, as I always say:
"Comfort in our lives, careers, and businesses can mean we are silently but progressively losing our tolerance to change. If we need to stay relevant and make ourselves and our businesses thrive, we must be okay with discomfort—even embrace it."
Please go into this course with this mindset.
Prepare to be provoked.
Welcome to "Shake Up!"—the revolution you didn't know you needed (or maybe you did and that’s why you’re here!).
If you're comfortable, content, and coasting through the same routine every day, I've got news for you: you're at risk. Yes, you heard me right. Doing the same thing week in, week out is a surefire way to stagnate and miss out on life.
I'm Gus Balbontin, and I've designed this program to jolt you out of complacency.
"Shake Up!" is packed with all the tools you need to challenge yourself and take charge of your career. Through easy-to-follow, self-paced videos, I'll break down key concepts in my no-nonsense, slightly unconventional style.
The Portfolio Career is my brainchild—a model that defies traditional work approaches. Instead of chaining yourself to a single job, you spread your time across multiple activities, creating new futures while letting go of old pasts.
Since leaving the corporate grind, I've transformed my "work" into a cluster of parallel pursuits rather than a linear sequence of jobs. This approach multiplies your opportunities and significantly lowers your risk.
Whether you're a CEO, business owner, manager, or student, there's nothing worse than regret—for what you could have become or what you still could be. That's why my team and I designed this program: to help you snap out of the trap, diversify your opportunities, and own your career.
Don't let your career happen to you.
You happen to your career.
You're in charge.
Explore it.
Drive it.
Embrace the unknown and shake things up.
So, are you ready to stop being a passenger in your own life?
Good. Let's get started.
