Virtually Yours Personal Assistants

I have lots of friends in their thirties who are trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up. These aren’t people who have been backpacking around the world since high school either. They went to college, interned, got their degree, their first job, and were ready to conquer the world.  A few went back to school for a masters. Some switched companies. But after ten years in their chosen profession have discovered “this ain’t it”. They are asking “What’s out there for me?”

Is it so surprising though? Who, at 18, can figure out who they are, let alone what they want to do the rest of their lives? 

Regardless of age, so many of us are in that same place. We’ve discovered new talents, interests, and limitations that we didn’t have at 18.  Why waste another minute doing something you already know that you don’t enjoy? Whether your in your 30s, 40s, or 50s NOW is the time to regroup. It’s not too late. And there are so many options. Start your journey to your new you today.

Here are a few resources.

This article  on BusinessKnowHow.com talks about important steps to take as you consider what your next career should be. It’s written by the owner of  Vocation Vacations , a company that offers vacation packages that let you take a one to three day total immersion mentorship vacation performing one of over 140 careers - from actor to wine sommelier. I love the idea of test driving a new career.

Here’s a site that talks about the art of “self direction”. There’s even a quiz to help you decide if you’re in the right career.

This blog by Tim Berry, founder of bplans.com, suggests you look at who you are at the core to determine your new business venture. Definately worth checking out.

Happy venturing!
