What Does Your Ideal Career Look Like?

I am so excited about 2015. I think that it has great things in store for me, my family & friends. I decided this year that I would do something different. I decided to brainstorm ideas of how I would like my year to flow. As I did this I began to think about how I wanted my business to grow and I started to create a roadmap for my career as a business owner.

I'm In A Job Rut!

If you have worked in the same line of work doing the same job for over 5 years then you may be experiencing a job rut. The easiest way to get out of it is to of course find another job. But the most effective way to change it forever is to get serious and take stock of what you really want to do for a career. As I previously mentioned in a past blog post, a job vs. a career are categorically different. Once you fully grasped the difference of the two then take these 3 steps to move ahead on your career path:

1. Do a DISC personality profile to determine what types of career opportunities are a good fit for your interests and personality traits. Click here for a free assessment or for a more in depth all encompassing perspective click here.

2. Do research on different career professions to gather a list of skills & educational requirements that are necessary.

3. Research what it is like to work at a specific company and apply to openings.
