Do you love what you do? If not, why are you wasting your time? I know, I know. The economy sucks. There aren't any other jobs out there. But what if you used this time to prepare. Discover your true passions. There are multiple tools available to help you discover your calling in life. If you're having doubts about the career you've chosen, try a career exploration workshop. Chances are you have an idea of what you want to do. But inventing in a workshop could be useful in helping to clarify the picture. Or maybe the career isn't the problem, but that you are sick of working for someone else. Consider consulting. There are many small businesses out there that may be looking for your expertise. For example, if your expertise is in accounting, think of how many small business owners could use your services to make sure their accounting practices are in order. Either way, now is the time to move forward. I'm not saying quit your job. I'm saying do some research. What career are you thinking about pursuing? What would it take to start consulting? Spend a good week on research. Then, if you are sure you want to change careers or maybe go into consulting, form a plan. Don't go off half cocked. But do take directed action. It's time to do the work you love.
