Dare to Be Dreamy in Your Career Search

Re: Feeling Trapped

Hi Earl. Great question! So great that I’m going to hold off on answering it in detail, because I think enough people encounter variations on that challenge that it’s worth answering as a full blog post.

That said, the super-streamlined version of my answer is:

1. Find the time to focus on yourself.

2. Look inside: What makes you tick? What energizes you?

3. Look around: What kinds of possibilities align with that?

Pretty simple, but then the most effective ideas often are.

Stay tuned for more details later this week. :-)

Feeling Trapped

I am so busy with work during the day and family at night that I have no idea what I want to do but I know I need a change. Do you have any advice about how to start dreaming again?
