Hey Reader, Feeling stuck and unfulfilled in your career? Here are 3 tips on how to find your next steps If you’re getting the Sunday scaries, explore your interests and start a side projectI enjoyed my chemical engineering coursework, but the job wasn’t for me. I realized I had no idea what I enjoyed, and all my career aspirations were my parents & aunts/uncles. Trying new things is the best form of research. Don’t get stuck consuming content for months. Go out and try it! That’s how ScatterMind was born. Don’t waste your timeAs we get older, we have more responsibilities, so start that project now. Don’t waste this valuable opportunity on social media and TV. I knew my first business was going to fail. So, I launched it in my 20s in the hopes that when my 30s hit, I would have some air under my wings. Now, things are picking up, and I’m making more than I did as a chemical engineer. Action Step: Cut out 1 hour every day to work on your side project. Track daily if you do it! Watch your project grow. Surround yourself with people who are doing cool thingsMy friends and family have taught me more than anything. I have a friend named Jake, who was my roommate in college. He started a record label in our freshman dorm in 2013, which he still operates. He got to go on tour and meet his favorite artists. He showed me that nothing is as far away as you think. You just have to get started. You don’t have to know everything. Just start! Action Step: Start! Doing will teach you more than anything else you do In a year, you'll thank yourself |
