 How to Find the career of your dreams and live the life you love

Take the High Way to Your Dream Career

In our younger years we are often strongly influenced by our parents / family, our school / teachers, our peers and friends, and of course we cannot under score the strong influence of the media ... movies, TV, News and more recently... computers. So our earlier career choices are often a cumulative of our life circumstances and external influences.

• One may be stuck in a job at seven eleven fresh out of high school yet dreaming of becoming a movie star with no idea of how to get there.

•  Or one may have been pressurized by family into getting into law school or medical school yet have an innermost desire to become a fashion designer.

• Or your childhood dreams may have prompted you along a certain career route, several long years later, you discover your dreams have changed and your heart is no longer in it.

• Or you just might experience career burn out. Yes, this happens too. After you have spent long grueling hours, high energy and enthusiasm in a certain field of interest, you suddenly find yourself 'deflated'... it no longer inspires or motivates you any longer. This happens quite often to top level corporate executives and other high performing individuals.

• Sometimes it is the necessity of survival that keeps you stuck in a certain uninspiring career... For instance a mom or dad with a young family to take care of don't usually have the time or energy or are scared of taking risks.

To be able to take the high way to your dream career...

• Be prepared to move out of your comfort zone.

• You need to be able to plan and set step by step goals. For instance you should be able to work out how to get from where you are to where you want to go... Work out a route map...

  • Get the right skills.

  • Do a Job search

  • Financial Planning.

• You should be prepared to go back to school to improve your skills and/or qualifications.

• You should be prepared to face challenges, set backs and hard work.

• You should have a back up plan to support yourself and your dependants/family while you are preparing to launch into your dream career.

• Most importantly you should be able to take positive action. A lot of dreams are sacrificed at the alter of 'Action'. Merely dreaming won't get you there. You need to get off your butt and take some action however small and continue moving forward.

• Yes, finally you need persistence. Here I will repeat the oft quoted example of Thomas Edison, who failed 11000 times before he found the right design for his light bulb.
