Fortune post: If you asked me my views on career reinvention five years ago, I would have said some very different things than I do today.
"The “myth of career bliss” – the damaging, misleading notion that all it takes to make your life happier is to chuck out your old, unsatisfying career and come up with a new one, despite what else is falling apart in your life."
"It’s not a wholesale career change that will bring you the satisfaction and peace you want. Instead, it’s taking hard, urgently-needed action that addresses the root causes of your troubles that will make the difference in your career and life."
Busting the Career Bliss Myth: The Six Steps You Need to Take to Change Your Life for the Better
- Power up and speak up – Figure out who you really are, and what you’re intrinsically worth as an individual in this world.
- Build a stronger, more empowered relationship with money – take control of your finances.
- Determine your three TOP life priorities, then make sure you’re attending to those before you even consider career change.
- Stop procrastinating and get going.
- Re-purpose your skills and talents.
- Then develop a S.M.A.R.T. transition plan to get you from where you are today, to where you want to go.
Great tips.
