Before thinking about your next job change and career change, it is very important to see the kind of lifestyle you want today and in the future. When you decide on your career path, I will discover that other aspects of your life, such as your life, how to spend your money, how to spend free time, as well, will get into the picture. This career planning time is also a time to think about life planning. When I meet my client for the first time, I ask what kind of life they want to live before asking them what they want to do.
Even in distraction Hawaii there is Po Hana, meaning "after work." Until the past decade, most of our lives were built behind work and work. My society seems to be upside down to me always to encourage us to work for a long time with what we dislikes in order to get a few hours to do what we really like It was. When I grew up in the Midwest, it was the best among the words "good". Worker or hard & # 39; worker.
Our days are planning the next day of work, preparing for work, work, work, lunch work, late work, returning from work, dinner, the work we brought home.
And take weekdays for 50 weeks, 2 weeks in a week, follow this cycle. Until we retired and retired, you guessed it - I will participate in "Rat Race".
As already explained, there may be seven (or more) parents in his / her lifetime. As my mother told the title of this book "Yes, there is no other job", as I said briefly. If you are based on lifestyle in value-driven, you can make rewarding work more easily when it meets your lifestyle.
Integrate your life / work options: Do not start over from the beginning & # 39;
Please remember what you did not do from the beginning this time. When writing this chapter, you will be able to train a tie for Lacrosse, get on the open range, sell BMW and believe that you can spend the next season of your life I wanted to take a spectacular story. Everest. However, when I saw the case history, I found that some of them were really spectacular, but the others seem to be more ordinary to "acquire life as well as work" maybe.
There are three examples of how people not only changed their own career but also integrated their choices into their own lives.
I was blessed to work with the international baseball hero Sadahara Oh "Japanese Babe Ruth". While he was called, I was anxious to retire from baseball and return some of the pleasures of the game he loved to the people. To set up a camp "World Children 's Baseball Foundation" where children all over the world meet each other for a few weeks to play the ball, it is hard to cooperate with him I was honored. By sharing what he loved, he made a new career for himself during that process. But he was not alone. Together with him, I made a board of advisors to make his dreams come true, from Hollywood celebrities to business leaders, and other athletes. Next time you can travel around the world every summer.
Another wonderful man integrated his career with his lifestyle, but he was still in his twenties. While working with the Olympic Mary Le Leighton, I met Douglas heirs.
Bob Richards on the Wheaties Find a champion - a nationwide quest for superior amateur players. The heir was a member of the wheelchair division of the US Olympic team. He won four medals in the world championship wheel chair game. When I met him, I was a student in law school and I was an assistant at Rutger's university. He did not settle for just a career, but rather combined his athletic ability with his law search.
Another customer, Gina, discovered that her true calling is in social work. "We can not accomplish anything than to help brick community center bricks build by their own hands on each board," she explains. Stint as a volunteer on the local crisis line returned to school at the age of 35 and got a master's degree in social studies. After she lost her job Enron, she thought the world was over but volunteered at the local YWCA. They worked with the immigrated tutor. She noticed that it is not sufficient to just work with another company in the Human Resources department.
Is it too old to change your life?
Many people are worried that they are older to begin. However, I found that my client was re-awakening normally at all ages. Screenwriter Dean Goodman, a San Francisco actor, dreamed of his lifetime doing a movie and in the 1970s he started as a co-star of the Francis Ford Coppola movie.
In doing research for this book, I came across an interesting fact about Ray Ray, illustrator. He was suffering with a fascinating drawing called Strange George. Ray lived from 1898 to 1977, but sold the bathtub above and below Amazon River between 26 and 38, until he married his wife, Margaret. Later he began a career of the artist who produced the wonderful "Curious George" series. A considerable lifestyle change from Amazon's bathtub salesman to the illustrator for children who got Amazon.com books!
Changes in life caused by the crisis
Not all the career changes are planned. Coincidentally, or when people like you and me pass through tough times like divorce, downsizing, and even the financial crisis, much begins. Ed O & TV programs "married children" were professional athletes at once. After being separated from the professional team, he took a break (as many of my clients do), he had received spring training in Florida. He was at the same hotel as he was staying at the ball point pen and was accidentally joining in.
He needed something to call him a "station break" in his life. This is not an easy time for most of my clients. And, in fact, making a transition period is often filled with emotional excitement such as confusion, anger, regret, and hope. And challenge. As a bellboy, one day O & # 39 Neil was called to the front desk to carry a bag of former team members who returned to town to play football. What kind of anger did he remember? He reports that he liked them immediately using a humor brand that will become his trademark on television in the future. And he also accepted the hint. Of all the qualities that will help during the transition, I am the best one. O & # 39; Like Neil I realized that the period of this rimbo is not permanent. In the meantime, like O & # 39; Neil, move to the next episode, probably starring & # 39; role.
Where would you live?
Where you live, you need to work with "personal" decisions, not occupation options. With the action plan, appropriate technology, capital and ingenuity you can choose to live in the mountains, the city, both coasts or overseas, regardless of what you want to do in your profession. In fact, before you think about what you want to do, you can choose where you live.
The best place for live and work?
What is the best place to live in the USA? MONEY magazine announces a new list each summer and compares about 300 different regions nationwide.
Please check other reference books in the library or search the internet. According to the US Management Bureau, the best cities for work were Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Washington C. Doll Comb & # 39; Alumni moved to the city of Sunbelt.
A small town or big city: Tech will work anywhere ....
In raising children, I would like to choose a family community. Zero population growth in the organization supports the deciding of major cities by 10 factors such as population stability, congestion, child health, crime, education, air quality and water resources. However, if you want to know where the best fishing spot is, you can enjoy your favorite hobbies with your family.
Please remember. A spokesperson of zero population says, "We found a strong correlation between the size of cities and metropolitan areas and the overall stress of children."
For further details on employment opportunities in other areas and in Europe and Asia, check with the Chamber of Commerce and Online. Many people will send you sophisticated packages containing fantastic DVDs of your city. In fact, if you have the skills you need, some rooms and economic development groups will introduce you to local recruiters in your area. Or just heading to an area of interest on the quick weekend. Recently, while staying in a bed and breakfast in a small rural town, the owner tried to change her life to one of my career clients and help her and the local museum begin. My client's intention was to visit the area where her grandparents owned the farm, but weekend trips quickly changed to career and life opportunities.
Matching what you want to do in the place you want to live is a creative process. Let's think about your career and life choice. What should I do in big cities? In a small town? Let's take a look at these two options with several different occupational choices.
1. Would you like to be a writer / novelist or a script writer?
Metropolis: You can be a high-tech writer of a major computer company and write SF novels at night. You might want to hit New York and go to an old university

Small Town: Change your family's hut to a retreat of the writer and invite an old professor to hold several seminars. You can call Denver's headquarters from Aspen ski resort. Actually love Yosemite "Outer Box" recommends that you start a regional theater repertory program on weekends and work as a forest ranger in the week. One of the very stressful tourists may be Broadway's talented person.

Experiment:
To challenge your creativity, please consider the options of the next career and lifestyle small city / big city.
* Contribute to the world.
* Save the history of the area.
* Share love of gardening and landscaping.
When considering your lifestyle choices and the places you want to live there are other factors you might want to weigh:
* The situation of your family. Are there spouses? Do you want one? children? Are you a parent? Does your former spouse have the right to visit? Are you looking for a new partner? Do you have a promise from a family keeping you in a specific area?
* Your bank account. Do you have a living expenses of at least six months to start you in the new community? Living expenses vary by region. In a small town for 6 months the bed and board may be less than a total of less than $ 10,000, but in large cities it may not cover travel expenses for a family of four.
* Your hobby and leisure life. Every weekend, unless you take a quiet walk in the country, can you live? Do you prosper in the theater and nightlife? Whether it is rock climbing or fierce competition, you choose a locale that is compatible with recreational interests, or prepare to start your own rodeo.
* Your social life. Certainly, wherever you go you can meet wonderful people. But you can see that your social life is turning around your church and synagogue. Too often my clients rely on work that causes their social activities. Please plan to lead to the local community organization and graduate chapter in the new place.
But, if you can not afford to move?
Just like many customers, you may feel that resources are missing - a kind of green! But do not worry, there is a way to beat the bank.
Consider exchanging the house. Basically there are lots of online websites that will exchange homes for condominiums in town skyscrapers. Carefully check that what you choose is legal. For those who are saying that they want to replace their apartment for Mountain Cabin, the longing for such opportunities to professional organizations such as Women in Film and Jim's manager.
I sit in a city house of your choice to find out. If you are convenient, the absentee will even repair the broken pouch or even pay the fee for your aid to restore the roof.
How about internationalization?
What if you want to live in Switzerland or deep-sea fish on Micronesian islands? It is even possible with budget. Please consider the following options before jumping off from the deep end.
1) Before making the final promise, you may want to take a rest for your guidance and stay in Barbados for one month.
2) Even if you need to buy a franchise in the area, you may want to check if you can get a regular gig with a new locale. If you have a job, you will have time to check the area without touching your capital city.
3) I can work at an American company with offices and work in local people who warn me of traveling in the future. Please first explore the area with a short trip before packing the trunk and making a permanent move.
4) You can take a safe net home, rent out your house, do housework for your home, or place emergency nest eggs at your bank.
Please prepare for trekking before you jump into a foreign land.
Most of my clients spend a lot of time planning for summer vacation rather than mapping their life plan. Even with minimal verification of your account, you can dream about your dream, with little or no cost:
1) Studying languages at my spare time (most high schools offer low cost night classes).
2) Stop at the consulate of the country you chose, make friends with the office staff, and see what suggestions for you.
3) Check the International Trade Association such as the Australian Trade Commission, which is pleased to meet with you while you are still living in the United States and help prepare for your relocation.

You deserve a break!
Many of my clients found it rediscovering only the values and lifestyle choices over time. They are refreshed, played and activated, and they start again.
Clients may come to me after forcibly timing out due to family illness, scandals of real estate for several months, life and death crisis, and so on. However, as they returned to work, they are afraid to go for a dream.
I urge you to recognize that these people can live their dreams. They have "right" rights for dreams. Life is not a punishment. It is to enjoy here. Hang in there. Let's get a life!
Eleanor Roosevelt said, "In the long run, when we shape our lives, we shape ourselves."
The process does not end until we die. And our choice is absolutely our responsibility.
