How to choose a career or business

by Joel Boggess on August 28, 2010

What is unique about me and what is my best fit?

God endows each and every one of us with special gifts. Before looking at possible career matches for your personality style, we need take the time to uncover and zero in on your strengths, passions, and personality style. Then we can take that knowledge and search out opportunities that embrace those pieces of your “born identity”.

How should I position myself during the job search to be competitive?

The traditional processes of flipping through the Sunday classified ads or searching for the ideal job online are vanishing.

Only 10-15% of opportunities ever appear in the paper and the Internet is losing its appeal (from a recruiting standpoint) as recruiters and decision-makers are opting for face-to-face contact with eligible candidates. To set yourself apart from the pack, you must be creative in your approach. The 4 point job search strategy will put you far ahead of the others.

What if I don’t want another corporate job?

If that is true for you, you are linking arms with a growing number of people who are determined to design their job and career, around the life they want.

I realize that this is counter-intuitive to the way most of us were brought up. Most of us were trained to find a job, and then to make a life work. I am suggesting the reverse of that age-old process.

How can I create additional income?

An increasing number of solo-entrepreneurs are taking action on their ideas and turning them into a revenue stream. And I’m not talking about $100-$200 a month selling products to your friends and family. I’m talking about creating a viable economic model around your idea, developing a business plan, and taking action.

How can I build my business around my strengths?

One thing is for sure, we do not live in a one-size fits all world. It doesn’t make much sense to use a cookie-cutter approach when creating and developing your business.

While there may be some key components that are similar, a large part of what will make your business successful is to design it around the best parts of you. To do that, we customize the business plan around your skills and abilities, personality style, values, dreams, and passions.
