Are you becoming the you that you want to be?

Or, are you just talking about it?

When it comes to figuring out who you want to be for the rest of your life, and where that dream job fits in, are you doing it, or just talking about it?

Over the years I’ve fielded hundreds, maybe thousands, of emails and posts at various career and job sites I’ve been involved with . . . the majority of them have to do with getting started on finding the dream job or figuring out what that dream job should be.

Most start off with “oh, my, I just don’t know what to do with my career,” or . . . “I’d really like to be a _______, but I just don’t know how to get started.”

Is that you?  Let’s check.

Here’s a quick self-test (no points, no grading needed . . . your answers themselves will tell you all you need to know) on the Dream Job.

In the past two weeks, have you:

1. Read a book or article about jobs that interest you?
2. Sent out your resume or contacted someone in your dream job field?
3. Volunteered to do work that relates to that dream job?
4. Started a part-time venture in your dream-job area?

If the answer is “no” to all of the above, you’re a dream job dreamer.  You’d rather be yappin’ about the new you than becoming it.

If the answer is “yes” to at least one of the above, you’re a dream job doer.

Be a dream job doer.  Take some action.  Even a step that turns out (with hindsight) to have been wrong, is a real step in the right direction, because you can eliminate that mistake and move forward on a different path.

Write and let me know what path you’re taking and if there’s a way I can help.
