Point Z High-Point of Your Career M N O P �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 17 Step 2: Now, with your successful self still in mind, let’s start to move backwards. Imagine your ideal resume. What kinds of experiences would you have ������ �������� ���������������������� ������������ ���������������� ������ ������ ���������� ���������������� moments in Point Z? Who were the people that surrounded you? What type of environment were you in? What skills did you have? What resources , i.e. time, tools, help, were you working with? Write these answers down in the middle of your paper. We’ll call these, say, points M – P. Step 3: Now, come back to your current state, where you actually have been and where you are right now. Where do you work? What type of environment are you currently in? What type of people are you surrounded by? What skills and resources do you currently have? What motivates you to go to work? What de-motivates you? Write these answers down on the left side of your paper. This is your Point A. Step 4: Acknowledge your talents. Ignore everything you’ve already written down since it pertains to “work-life,” and just write down what you really enjoy doing. What are you super good at, and what would you love to learn? Step 5: Connect the dots. If you sit back and look at what you just wrote, you’ll likely see a gap between the job you’re in now, Point A, and the job that’s ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ most likely see a gap between your Point A and Points M-P. But pay close attention to the differences in the environments, the resources, and the people you’re currently surrounding yourself with. How do they compare to those you should be surrounding yourself with for your future success? Are you ok with these differences? Or is it time to get moving in a new direction? No need to panic. Your answers to Step 4 are the fuel to your tank to get you there. And they might be more aligned with your Points M through Z than you think. Essentially what we did here was create your dream resume. BUT, we started with your end goals in mind rather than where you’re at now. Backwards is key in this exercise because it’s so easy to get distracted by your current occupation’s status quo. Right now, you know best what you know best. If you want to move in a different direction, ignore the noise that you’re familiar with and shift focus to learn what you really want. You can access and complete the full roadmap I created at www.suitsandsneaks.com. There, you can also see how I used my talents from Step 4 to create my own roadmap from Point A to Point Z. Best of luck to you! TALENTS De-Motivators BRING IT HOME ROCK STAR! NEW SKILLS
