Coach Yourself to a New Career

If you’re just looking for a job, this book isn’t for you. But if you want a career that fulfills you, not just a paycheck, Coach Yourself to a New Career can help you get there.

While you can find hundreds of books designed to help you find your true calling, this one offers some strategies that set it apart. Here are a few examples:

Get your life in order right NOW: While it may be easier to dream about a new life and better career, the best way to actually achieve it is to take care of your needs and responsibilities right now. This includes everything from your health to your finances.

You might not know yourself as well as you think you do: Sure, you can, and should, take some quizzes and make some lists to explore your passions, talents an values, but if you really want to know more, ask friends, family and co-workers what they know about you – you may get some valuable insights.

Create a Life Plan: Not just the next five years but the next 50. Thinking about what you want out of life will help you better understand how your career fits into the big picture. What works in your twenties may not be what you need in your forties.

Change takes time: Move toward your goals a little bit at a time before you make any big leaps. You may have to keep working at a job you don’t love while you save money, build experience or gain skills to successfully make your next move.
