Many of you have heard the saying, “If you don’t know where you’re going, how are you going to get there?” Really pause and think about this for a few minutes. What areas of your life do you feel crystal clear about? Which seem more murky? Do you know, at a detailed level, what you want in health, fitness, family, finances, home, friends, hobbies, sports, and career?

Since I help many of you with career success, here are some things to consider as you get clear:

• What do you want to spend the bulk of your day doing?
• What sorts of people do you want to interact with daily?
• What sort of work environment feels best for you?
• How do you want to feel each day?
• What skills and talents do you want/need to utilize to feel most successful?

Your vision for your career is important because you need to know what you’re striving for in order to create and efficient, laser focused path to get there. The scatter-gun or “I’ll take anything” approach to career (or anything) rarely works because you won’t know what to work for and you won’t know if you’re being successful in accomplishing your dreams.

Clarity is mainly for you but it also helps to let others know what it is you want, who you are, and what makes you unique. It’s the people we come into contact with that will help us achieve our dreams so you might as well tell them what they are in a simple, concise fashion.

If you want to get crystal clear on what’s important to you in your career and life, join me for my upcoming teleseminar, “Know What You Want / Know Where You’re Selling.”
