‘Follow your passions’ can sound like inspiring career advice at first but can quickly turn sour when faced with the reality of frustrations at work. Instead, Newport’s book So Good They Can’t Ignore You wisely nudges professionals towards thinking in terms of building their career capital and cultivating a craftsman mind-set for long-term career fulfillment. A craftsman mind-set understands the importance of quality in any field of work, and hence seeks to gain mastery through hard (and smart) work. Career Capital is the personal reservoir of rare, valuable and highly-marketable skills, which are gained through a craftsman mind-set. There is a great amount of satisfaction and enjoyment that comes from being really good at what you do. Sweat and toil can lead to gaining new career passions.
