6 Steps To Design Your Ideal Career

Yesterday's coaching call with Karen was again a fruitful one. The key to setting fulfilled goals or self-discovery exercises is to strike out to be in "Peak State Of Mind".

When we are at the Peak State, our mind becomes resourceful and the high intensity with emotions will get attached to the goals we listed or the discovery we explore within ourselves.

Karen recommended the Rule of 20:

1) List down 20 of your greatest strengths and talents (asking friends to tell you about your strength is even more powerful as something that come easy to us might be difficult to someone else)

2) List down 20 of your greatest achievements (this can be developing yourself, overcoming challenges)

3) Follow by attaching 1-2 sentences describing what it means to achieve your greatest accomplishments (eg. "When I put my mind into it, nothing's going to stop me")

4)20 Things you Love To Do (Passion)

5) Perform research to find out skills that could be use in a specific dream job from http://online.onetcenter.org/

6) Go to book store to find out what's the 20 most fastest growing career and review couple of books on career discovery (Daisy wheel) from the author of "What Color Is Your Parachute?" with the objective to finding a career that you enjoy

This is where the Passion, crossed with strengths/talents and accomplishment

These are the 6 steps that would help me designed my ideal career and hope it does for you too.

Cheers,
Kian
