Route One

Moving yourself on from a career problem

A way to get enjoyable & profitable work

bulletWork out exactly what you're looking for from your work & life, and thus what you mean by "enjoyable".
bulletMake a detailed audit of your assets & resources to see what you're selling to the people who're going to pay you.
bulletUse these to define what you'd be good at and enjoy doing - both bits matter.
bulletNow you can identify exactly who your customers are and why they'll buy you and not somebody else. Your customers might be people who are going to employ you, so you:
bulletdevise a strategy & tactics for job hunting & get organised
bulletput together a good CV and write letters that get interviews
bulletlearn how to behave effectively at interviews
bulletlearn how to assess whether a job would be right for you

If, on the other hand, you want your customers to buy from your business, then:

bulletdevise a strategy & tactics for self employment
bulletwork out what you're selling, what benefits it delivers & why people should buy it
bulletanalyse your customers & work out how to delight them
bulletfind out what systems & equipment you need & work out how to get them up & running

Whether you want to be employed, or to run your own business, spend as much time thinking about what your customers want as about what you want.

And if you don't know what they want, find a way of asking them.
