IF your CAREER WILL pay WHATEVER you ASK of it...
HOW can you KNOW you are asking the questions you SHOULD be ASKING?
IS THIS REALLY your CAREER
All BLURRED, FUZZY, and in FREEFALL?
STOP THE FREE FALLit MAY not be too late
Yes it IS alarmist... because FORTUNATELY we CAN DO something about our Contracting Career... at ANY time...
UNFORTUNATELY why must it always take a downturn to wake us up...
PERHAPS we could give THANKS to our downturns for breaking us out of our gell and see them for the opportunity they really are.. CALL'S to ACTION...
Getting Disturbed
Why getting disturbed is a good thing
FIRST.. because 'getting' 'disturbed'
RAISES within us a 'q-u-e-s-t-i-o-n'
Questions POINT us to WHERE we need to LOOK.
A Contracting Career WITHOUT a QUESTION is a career
going nowhere because it has NO idea where to look.
we agreed when DL said to me
DL could have buried, suppressed, denied, deluded by pretending everything was okay when it wasn't. Yes he was grateful for the areas that WERE doing okay but was not going to let that cloud his sensory acuity on how things are.
Positive thinking done mindlessly incorrectly as pushed by media is often dangerous.
Disturbed in the way DL was disturbed IS thinking positive in that DL didn't lie to himself instead DL listened to his quite inner voice and admitted his adversity. He pointed to his 'cloud'.
HE THEN did what most omit to do.. He asked for and got the 'SILVER LINING' in his cloud that he could now POINT to. He saw his OPPORTUNITY. He saw the truth and how to make it better.

"... money aside, life is great.... i just hate being financially poor... its been like that for 5 years now. All of my friends have been promoted to much higher salaries and I am struggling to make even what fresh grads from community colleges are making. But in time, i will be able to show people, convincingly, that i am good and that they are making the right choice with me.

Managing Your Career
Few disagree that the pace is FAST and ESCALATING faster with so many amazing OPTIONS faster still it becomes overwhelmingly bewildering... that is causing people to lose their sense of self RATHER than BETTER help DEFINE it.
Many live in the 'hope' they made the right choice their current certification is taking them...
but deep down the unmistakable churn in the body tells them something different.
Hoping IS a valid choice but most agree not an effective choice... even those addicted to hopium are finding it difficult to maintain the 'dosage'.
Most know that 'Managing' future uncertainty around their career is a far more effective choice.
So this blog segment deals with the question
To what extent is having a clear and current CAREER STATEMENT for managing uncertainty around your career important?
