Consciously design your career

Maybe it's a designer/ux way of thinking, but the book is a beautiful summary of the way I think about my career. Part Rich Dad, Poor Dad and part Malcolm Gladwell storytelling, it gave me a kick in the butt that I needed.

It's been three or four days since I listened to the Audible version in one night and I've come up with the blueprint for something awesome... and when I say blueprint I mean logo, brand, website, strategy, definition of tone of voice, the start of recordings for free and valuable content, and a quick competitive analysis that's still a work in progress.

Everyone should read the book. If you already know the things it has in it, and there's a chance you might, it's a motivational kick in the behind. If you've never thought about your job as one part of a career that you owe it to yourself to cultivate and grow, well, go read it now! The person who recommended it to me told me they had never thought of their job in these terms before. For me, it was a reminder of all the things that sometimes you forget in the rush of the day to day (that you should be focusing on the bigger picture too).

Developing Your Own Path

I really enjoyed listening to Forever Employable, twice! A concise book that provides a real action plan to developing your own employment path. As Seth Godin says "Don't wait to get picked, pick yourself.", and I think this book can help you do just that. I'm already in the process of taking some of these steps outlined in the book as its release timing couldn't have been better with my current work situation and desire for change.
