But, equally important, is avoiding those roads that will lead to inevitable career unhappiness. Sometimes, they’re hard to spot. But I’ve found five that are clear, unmistakable danger zones.

I’m a compulsive over-analyzer. Rarely am I able to just “let things go” when I should. Instead, I dwell. I pick apart. I dissect until whatever it is no longer resembles itself. I think way too much. The human brain has a remarkable ability to find order in chaos. I blame my need to over-analyze on this biological fact. I think, ultimately, I’m searching for some sort of reason in an unreasonable world.

A few weeks ago, I hosted a free teleseminar with my good friend Sydni Craig-Hart (of Executive Assistant to Virtual Assistant ) and she was kind enough to record it.

Career fulfillment (or, as I like to call it, career nourishment ) can often seem like an elusive beast. Figuring out what it is and how to find it is a difficult process for many. The first thing I tell my coaching clients is that career fulfillment isn’t something you FIND, it’s something you CREATE. And the process, while different for everyone, involves five essential steps: 1.

A good friend of mine once told me that every soul is for sale. He said it’s just the way the world works, that we do what we can to stay whole but sooner or later, we let pieces of ourselves go in exchange for what we need. It’s a matter of survival, he said. His is a cynical view of the world but, after years of reflection, I think he’s right. To get ahead, we all have to make sacrifices.

I consider myself very fortunate: My career gives me a deep sense of purpose. Luck is definitely part of it, but it also took a lot of work to get to this point. Like everyone, I’ve had jobs that left me feeling empty at the end of the day. But this— coaching and training others about career development —isn’t one of those jobs. In fact, I see it as more than just a job or even a career: It’s a mission.
