When I was a child I never said, "When I grow up, I want to be a CEO," but here I am . When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn't a straight, clearly clarified path . In fact, no two paths are the same . But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there's a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies .
As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may vary, but the people in that position share the qualities of commitment, work ethic （守则） and a strong desire for building something new . And every CEO take s risks along the way—putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup .
I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur （企业家） from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years . I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with varying degrees of success . And I always had a dream job pattern: to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers .
I'm only 29, so it's been a quick ride to CEO . Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team . In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started Living Social with several other colleagues, where I became a CEO .
Career advice: Don't figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you'd like to work at ． Figure out what makes you do so ． What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doing … and then apply it to your work life . Also, just because you're graduating, don't stop learning . Read more books than you did in college . If you do, and they're not, you're really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do .
