By Kerry Hannon Read Published Article, WHATSNEXT.COM  Seven Common Sense Steps To Finding a Career You Love
Find a place to start. You don’t need a precise definition before you get going. Start by making a list of what you do know you want in the next phase of your career. If you are preoccupied with what you don’t want, make a list and restate them in positive terms. For example, if you are determined to stop working sixty hours a week, you might add “forty-hour work week” to your wish list. Take steps. Don’t struggle to find an ideal starting point or perfect path. Once you have some picture of where you want to go, get things moving by taking small steps toward that vision. Your activity won’t be linear and you don’t need to plan out your steps in advance. What really matters is that you do a little something on a regular basis. Even if you just take one tiny step each week, at the end of a year you will have made some real progress toward change. |

With the latest Retirement Confidence Survey showing only 13% of older workers are very confident about their retirement finances, the average reader may not relate to many of the well-off early retirees interviewed. But the book features (a few) ordinary folk, too. EXCERPT FROM 'WHAT'S NEXT': Ten Tips for Planning a Winning Second Career |
