Sometimes the opportunities you think will fit with your wants don’t actually fit.
Matching your wants with your opportunities is alot like the matching toy that kids play with…
Matching these opportunities and wants takes time and work…you’ll have to do some work and some research.
Moving towards work that you love is often a multiple step process.
Sometimes it’s a process of relieving some of the contraints of a job in order to be able to take the next step forward…i.e. get out of a job that requires a lot of hours so you can move forward in your career.
Your career journey is like playing a slot machine……but a really big one…
As you start to line up opportunities, don’t rule anything out!!
Go back and listen to the other episodes listed above for ideas or sign up for the free two week email course… to work through this process of determining what you really want.
Question: What opportunities have you found that match with your wants?
