Ideal Work

You need work that fits you. You want it to be rewarding, meaningful, and motivating. And you want it to make the best use of your talents. But identifying and landing that dream job looks impossible.

You have probably already tried taking career tests, going on informational interviews, and reading about other career opportunities.  You know that just switching jobs or companies won’t work.  And you are not ready to make a leap of faith–following your passion–without knowing you can make enough money to pay the rent.

Happily, you can find and do your ideal work. Here’s how:

• Discover your SweetSpot™.  Identify the criteria for your ideal career.  Yes, your passions count.  And so do things like your income requirements and unique talents.
• Locate work that matches your SweetSpot. With your SweetSpot as a lens find a role or start a company that would delight.
• Tune your thinking. Set aside habits of thought–judgments–that limit. Adopt thinking that supports your success.
• Gather your team. Foster deep partnerships with all who matter to your success. Co-workers, clients, friends, and family are just some of the kinds of people who will help you (and who you’ll help).
• Act naturally. Instead of drowning in or battling all the waves of things you have to do, learn to surf atop them. Adopt a simple system for picking the best thing to work on at any time.
