Hi! I’m Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter and this is part four in my series about changing careers. I hope some things have been percolating for you so far. If not, go back and dig deeper because the idea of this is I want you thinking about stuff and get getting clearer about what’s going to be important to you in your career and in your life and your life is the next part of this because we can’t partialize.
We can’t divide work and life as distinctly as some think we should. How is that working for you to make them different things? I think it’s all part of the same thing which is the life that you live. So, I’m going to invite you to look at a couple of different things today and, again, as always, I want you taking down notes and spending time with us.
So, the first thing I want to want you to look at is your health. How are you physically at this point? I’ve said in other places that I try though I might, my weight got away from me and one day I woke up to weight more than I ever had before in my life and it was pretty stunning. So, I’ve been working on my health, working with a trainer and that’s become really important to me is to get my weight down and be fit.
I had the pleasure this morning my wife saying I look younger. That’s really cool. You know, what kind of environment do I want to live in? Is it an urban area? Is it a rural area? If it’s urban, what type of neighborhood do you want to live in? Where’s your ideal place to live in the world because these days a lot of people can do work from anywhere in the world.
What kind of income do you need? What do you need to support yourself and your family? What goals do you have for your future? Your family. Is it important to you? I’m not just simply talking about your immediate family but your extended family, you know, aging parents, for example. Maybe you are the aging parent and you want to be closer to your kids.
How does that fit in? Do you need to have some flexibility in order to spend time with them? Do you want to be able to go to the kids soccer games? To use that classic example. What sort of personal development goals do you have? What sort of growth do you want to have in your life? You know, we tend to focus on work so much that we tend to think of ourselves . . . forget to think of ourselves as being students in our lives and that for us to really excel we have to learn and grow in order to master our circumstances. These are all things that you need to sit down and think about and take some time with.
Minimally an hour. Seriously, minimally an hour for this exercise and learn your lessons from it and apply it to your life. I’ll be back with another tip to help you with your changing careers.
I’m Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter, the head coach for JobSearchCoachingHQ.com. Hope you have a great day. Take care!
