Remember, finding a new and rewarding job or thinking about starting your own business is a big step so be prepared for the following:

• It always takes longer than you think - so don't expect overnight results, be patient but keep focused.
• Get clarity before you start on what it is you really want.  Maybe you have already had experience of what it is you   want to do next in your past but haven't ever thought it could become a career.
• Be prepared to try on new experiences, hobbies and interests.
• It helps to create a community or join one which reflects the interests you have.
• Get a buddy, colleague or a coach to support you throughout the process to keep you motivated, inspired and accountable.
• Don't rule things out.  People create employment or businesses out of the most curious things.
• Talk to people who are already doing what you are doing to get a clear idea whether it's for you.
• Be sure you goal is compelling.  There's no point aiming for something you are indifferent about.
• Don't worry about what other people think or pleasing others.  We come this way but once.  This is YOUR journey.
• Never give up and keep on keeping on. It is hard and we do lose heart but you are more likely to get to your dream job if you have one in mind and are taking steps to get to it, than not bothering at all.

Good luck
