The last 10 years of my work life have been far and away the most rewarding and the last three in particular have been almost too good to be true.

I won’t go into detail about the wonderful particulars of my current situation but rather explain that I first had to suffer, and then focus to get where I am. I suffered because I hadn’t identified a particular career path and was unemployed during a recession and experiencing a fruitless job search.

I found a life changing book called “What Color Is Your Parachute” and following the advice in it literally changed my life.

Long story short: Identify your favorite skills and jobs that allow you to use those skills. Put another way, “How can you use your favorite skills to make money for other people?”

Answer that question and that great job may come your way.

(we all like to talk about ourselves, don’t we :-))
