How To To Do What You Love For A Living

When you talk to people about their dreams, most don’t feel like they’re achieving them. Many of us feel like we’re stuck in a dead end job, not getting any closer to the job of our dreams.

With job security dwindling, and fear of the recession lingering, most people feel dissatisfied with their current work, and have hidden aspirations to do something bigger and better. What is stopping you from living your dream? These four steps offer you a place to start.

Identify Your Dream

Maybe you always wanted to be a rock star but the time for that has come and gone. Ask yourself what you can do to put your natural talents to work. Can you write music for the movie industry, or advertisements? What about joining a drum circle and getting to know people with similar interest in music? You never know what kind of professional connections you can make among like-minded people. Speak to people who have been successful at what you’re aiming for because they’re the people who will be able to offer you sound advice on the path that worked for them.

Contact The Companies

Very few people have the capitol or the time to start a business from scratch. Most of us have to start working underneath someone well established to make ends meet. Find our which schools, businesses and firms have the most involvement in your desired career choice and make some connections. Despite the old saying, it is about what you know as much as it is about who you know, so make sure that you’ve brushed up on your relevant knowledge. Take classes and courses to connect you with people and to hone your skills.

Be Prepared

Once you commit to a new job search, prepare yourself for any questions potential employers may have. Depending on your career choice, create a resume, cover letter, portfolio and reference package to hand out as soon as you get your first interview. You can also include a recently completed background check to save potential employers the hassle of getting it themselves.

Believe In Yourself

Everything worth doing is challenging at times. With the support of loved ones, including yourself, you will start to feel as though accomplishment is just a stone’s throw away. Be committed to your idea and persistent within the field. Soon enough you’ll have proved your work ethic to everyone around you, making leaps and bounds towards making your dream a reality.
