It’s nice to have a job you enjoy. 

Work that keeps you interested, gives you energy. 

Work that challenges you.  Work you feel pride in. 

Work that plays to your strengths and natural abilities.

If you’re already there, this post may not be for you. 

But if you’re not sure how to figure this out, keep reading.  

Sometimes work kinda sucks….

If you feel stuck, bored, uninspired, frustrated, it’s easy to become cynical.  Feel like “ this is just how it is.”

But…. what if it doesn’t have to be this way? 

What is you could spend most of your day (75-80%) of your day doing things you enjoy, that energize you.  Working with people that challenge, inspire and support you?  

And less time on tasks, in meetings, and with people that frustrate and exhaust you?   

Interested?

If so, let me introduce you to a great video series that gives you all the information you need to start to turn things around.   

Step by step.  

Now…. stay with me here. 

This is from an old Oprah show

(Stop rolling your eyes!! )

The speaker is A-mazing. The format is like a workshop.  And if you were to take this course - which I don’t think is even offered anymore - it would cost you thousands of dollars.

It’s a series of eight videos.  Here’s the the first video . You can access the rest from the site.

The first couple of videos are a little slow, but stick with it. Understanding the people in the workshop, their work experiences will help bring the material to life.

And I’d recommend you watch instead of listen.  There’s something about the group dynamic that’s adds so much value.   

The best thing about it is that this approach leaves everything in your more than capable hands.   You don’t need to depend on your company, your boss, your co-workers. It’s all up to you. 

Next Steps:  

Luckily the workshop comes with some very detailed exercises. 

But. they seem a bit………… ambitious to me.  

I’d try smaller steps.  Like taking an hour one day a week to jot down your tasks.  Or spend 10 minutes at lunch thinking about what you’ve done the past couple of hours.   

Focus on one or two tasks/activities at a time.  

And work  making 1-2 small changes each week.  

This approach is DEFINITELY not a quick fix.  

But imagine making a couple of improvements each week.  

Think what would change in 6 months?  A year?  

Now imagine having the skill set to customize every job you have for the rest of your career.  

Worth giving a try? 

Wrapping Up

Yup…. it’s a lot of work. 

And it can feel like it takes forever. 

But for those of you looking to take back control of your professional life.  

To  create the job, the career of your dreams.

This might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
