Career Advice

Get to know yourself early on, take the personal assessment at http://www.high-octane-living.com/shopping.htm and read them at least once a year.

Call me for a career coaching session once you have completed the assessments. It will be the best two hundred dollars you will ever spend.

Learn to plan, plan your day, your week and your life. Not having a plan is planning to fail.

Develop a five year plan. Figure out where you want to be in five years. Then fill in the things you have to do between now and then, and start doing them.

Discover your true passion, list all the things you love to do, then how you feel about them, then list what it is you are actually doing that makes you feel that way. Read the results carefully for patterns. These patterns will give you insights into your personal passions. Use this information to find a career which will allow you to use your passion.

If you have not finished college, do it now, if you need coaching, get it now. If you are not sure what your passions are in life, get help now. Find this stuff out while you can still do something about it.

If you hate your work, plan to get out of it into something you love.

If what you love is difficult to make a living at, like art, music, drama etc., find a plan B, make what you love your hobby and try to make a little money at it, if you love it, just getting a chance to do it will keep you satisfied.

Do not get fooled into thinking that you are going to work just to earn money, money is a terrible task master. Instead, work at what you enjoy, you will be good at it and people will pay you well when you do it.
