Choosing your career can be a daunting task, however a friend of mine, Bobb Biehl, lays out specific questions to ask yourself to help guide you in discovering your life’s work. I’d love to share 10 of them with you today:
1. What would I do, if I could do anything, if I had all of the time, money, education, staff, etc…. and God said He didn’t care what I did … and I knew I couldn’t fail … what would I do?
2. If I had all of the money I needed, would I still do what I do?
3. If the doctor told me I had 5 years at the most to live, what would I do then?
4. What needs in this world do I see that make me want to weep?… want to explode with anger?… keep me awake at night? Should I do something about them?
5. If necessary, what do I believe in enough to “give my life for”? In what ways can I work in support of this area?
6. What 3-10 things would I most like to “do” in my work? What do I feel best at and enjoy the most?
7. In what areas would I most like to grow personally and develop my full potential? What career path offers me the most potential for growth in these areas?
8. What is really holding me back in my current professional life? If these could be overcome… then what would I do?
9. If I had all of the skills to handle any position in the world… what position would I most like to have?
10. What accomplishments am I most “proud” of at this point in my life? How would these kinds of accomplishments be possible in a career path?
