​5 minutes to reevaluate your career path

"The future depends on what you do today."
-Mahatma Ghandi

If you're reading this post, perhaps you're already contemplating a change in your career path. Luckily you can turn your contemplation into action, and gain some clarity by quickly answering this series of questions.

1. Are your finest talents and strengths being recognized and cultivated?
2. Is your marketability getting better?
3. Does your company have a vision? Are you part of that vision?
4. Is your boss a mentor; someone you look up to and consistently learn from?
5. Do you feel free to share innovative ideas? Are your ideas considered and recognized?
6. Are you being paid what you’re worth? Look into it, look into other companies that are seeking candidates with your education, experience and skill-set and find out what they pay.
7. Do you like what you do? Are you excited to get out of bed in the morning?
8. Is this a step in the direction you want to go?
9. Do you often feel fulfilled after a day’s work?
10. Did you answer YES or NO to most of these questions?

Believe it or not, there are people out there who actually enjoy their jobs and find fulfilment in their careers. Sure, even the best jobs can be tiring and feel defeating at times, and I'm not saying you need to find perfection. I'm suggesting you take a solid look at whether or not you can do better, and if your current position is taking you to the place you want to go. By this time next week you could be on a new road well on your way to achieving your dreams – all without skipping a beat. Give me a call, get yourself properly branded, and see what else is out there. You have nothing to lose.
