Hi Adam, My problem is how can decide to stay focus on a one opportunity in my career? My wife and I do have a business store.. But yet I have joined a lot of business opportunities ans now I feel like i’m stuck and which of those will I have to focus. I am now confused and I cant decide which of those.

Thank you

In reply to Bhanu Datal. Hi Bhanu, Someone may be an engineer but if they want to move into another line of work they need to create a transition plan and take action. It takes persistence, patience, and practice. If you have a goal in mind you can decide on a strategy to get there. Whether that is additional training, work experience, school or something else. The first step is to get clear on what you want, then you can decide how to get there.

Sure u say that u are a helper as ur tagline but how does that help u in deciding a job considering all your qualifications and degrees.for example -how does an engineering grad. with a helper personality find a suitable job for himself or he has to opt for another job other than engineering. This gets so messy….

I would like hear a say…

Adam, this is exactly what I needed to read today. I’m sitting at a bit of a crossroads right now and both paths are very foggy. I’m sure you can guess what I’ll be doing tonight! Thank you for this post!

In reply to Dave Unger. That would be amazing to double revenue every three years Dave. I had not heard of this book but it sounds like it's right up my alley. Envisioning your desired future is a really important step in any type of goal setting. Thanks for your comment.

Adam,

“Begin with the end in mind” made me think immediately of a book I just started reading. “Double Double” by Cameron Herold (former CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK) starts with two chapters focused on painting a picture of what you’re trying to accomplish and then reverse-engineering the steps you need to take to reach your goals.

I highly recommend the book to anyone starting or running their own company. It’s also great for someone who doesn’t want to be the boss but does want to be a part of a hugely successful company that doubles their revenue every three years.

Consider the impact that could have on any of us. Being part of a company that doubles its revenue every three years would give us each the chance to shift half of our job to someone else. For someone who likes their job but doesn’t love it, that could mean handing off the parts they don’t enjoy or aren’t awesome at and really focusing on the “good” parts.

The possibilities are huge.
