Either at the start of the career or after some years on the same job position, some people might start thinking what would be the steps that I should take for my future.
And it is normal that when finishing the university or when a professional has the feeling of a career change, the unknown of the future comes by.
Why are people getting anxious about the future?
I also had the same anxiety of what decision to take when I finished my career.
In that time, I had the questions of either searching for a job at Monterrey, or coming back home and work at the family business.
Of course as a 24 year old, we are supposed to be a bit more mature, but the thing is that we actually are not.
And we might never really mature more than usual.
But as we get older, and different professional ways start to come out, we deal we the uncertainity.
Do we really have to decide what to do for our rest of our lives when we finish university?
Or if we back a bit more, does deciding what we will study will define ourselves?
Certainly, not.
That is why change exist.
But some might have the feeling that they have to decide now in order to follow a perfect career.
Unless you are fully aware of the future that you want at 18, then go ahead.
But as I have seen and lived by myself, change is a constant in people’s life.
And for me it is perfectly fine to decide a drastical change when you feel you need to make a change.
Sometimes it may be scary to take an unknown path on a professional level, but sometimes it is also a way where you can further develop yourself in new skills.
For some people who search for how to create a professional development plan, my recommendation is easy.
Visualize what are the things that you want and move forward to it.
If you want to be a writer, just start writing anything.
In my opinion, nobody has to tell you what are you meant to be.
But if you start working, behaving and developing yourself as if you are in the position that you want, you will slowly build up yourself to be who you want to become.
If you find obstacles on your way, either keep trying or go around.
Your inner person already knows what type of professional career you want.
It might be at certain industry, or a specific job position, or as well an entrepreneur.
Remember that a plan is worthless if there is no action.
So, when I graduated I didn’t knew that I was going to end up having experience in one of the top 50 companies in Germany.
But my actions of desiring having again an international experience, working at the family business and saving up money, applying for 3 masters, beind accepted in 1 and then landing in a student job where the ones who made possible to achieve one of the greatest proffesional experiences I had.
Another advice: yes, you can give up one day, but don’t wake up the next day giving up on the dreams that you have.
Life brings up changes, and we never know what the future brings.
How about now to aim into being an international entrepreneur.
That could be one of my new desires.
Work, faith and patience.
