Professional career advice 1 - Set a personal Vision

Consider the following before to start, do you remember this time when you read,  listened or saw something that have made you think about changes/goals in your life? That is called inspiration! Now think, how many times did you get to accomplish that changes/goals? I guess that the answer is not 100% of the times, unfortunately the most of us use to start personal projects so often but we do not get finish all of them. Conclusion: Inspiration is good it is the energy to start! but without your personal decision, actions and discipline you will never  improve or change anything!  So I really hope you get inspired with this post in some way and then work until the end of your life for your personal vision.

PERSONAL VISION 

This is the most important step that you have to take in order to set a successful professional career. Without knowing your destination, you will never reach it. Thinks that you are like a ship in that huge sea called life and you have to set your final destination and know the different stops (Experiences) that will let you reach there. 

Action step 

Take a couple of minutes of uninterrupted time. Take a piece of paper and a pen and write down the answers for the following question. Do not skip this! This is most likely the hardest part of this guide this will be your motivation and source of inspiration for the next steps!

- Who do you want to become (Your Vision)? 

Be your own wonderful creature. Think in your final destination

- Which are your biggest  Professional achievement? Dream Job?  Entrepreneur?

- What do you know or do better than anyone? Identify your strengths!

- What make you happy? Identify in your passion

- Which are my core values / Miles tones? What behaviours will lead you to your vision

- How do you want to be remembered after you die?

Seriously you need to really think about these questions and answer them. Do it now. As long as you've taken those few minutes on your time, you are already on the right way. You've already done more than 99% of normal people do. You are taking actions! and ownership! Feel great about yourself! 

The next post (The step 2) will be related with GOALS! So far the step 1 give us a self diagnostic , a dream, a big picture about what we want, with that we have the general objective to pursuit and starting a plan.
