Action Principles:

Pick one to do this week: 

1. Find the strength in your weakness. In some cases, your weakness could be what sets you apart if you handle it right. ACTION: Consider one of your struggles and search for the strength in it. Think of a way to use it in your favor.
2. Consider if a career change is needed. Sometimes a situation or job isn’t the right fit for you. Dreading going to work is a sign that a change may be in order. ACTION: Candidly consider if your current job is right for you. If not, create a plan to change positions at work or move to a different company.
3. Pay attention to frequent requests. If others are continuously coming to you for help with a particular task, and you enjoy doing it, that could be a potential career path. ACTION: Consider if there’s something people keep asking you to do for them. Could you build a career or business around that?
4. Craft your ideal work. Knowing what the ideal work situation is for you can help guide you in the right direction. ACTION: Spend time defining your ideal work environment in detail. Write it down!
