How to be Fulfilled and Satisfied with your Career

The old school model of working your way up and eventually retiring is not really relevant anymore. A lot of people find themselves being frustrated or unsatisfied with their life and it can often tie back to their career. Here are 5 steps you can take in order to get that career satisfaction you’ve been searching for:

1. Experiment! Try plenty of new things and stick to the ones that make you most happy. Drop the rest!
2. Don’t stick to just one job. Having variety is absolutely key to success.
3. Focus on your values and not so much on your skills. If you take a step back and understand what kind of impact you want to have on the world and then find careers that help satisfy these values, it will make a world of difference.
4. Whether you are looking at traditional jobs or entrepreneurship, you need to understand the fundamentals and all aspects of the job or business to see how that lines up with your values and what you enjoy doing.
5. Community building and Networking are two very different things. Networking is often thought of as the antiquated exchange of business cards where both people want something from one another. Community building and collaboration is where it’s at! This is where you actually focus on what the other person is facing in their life and where they want to be. Then providing value (content, conversation, events, etc) to help them reach that.

Times have certainly changed for careers and the traditional path of moving through life. If you want to read more about this, check out the original article here.
