How the recession has impacted people’s career goals
The current recession has forced many people to rethink their career goals. Unfortunately some people have put their careers on hold while thinking that they will pick it up again in a year or two when things get better…this is probably not a good idea!
Yes, due to the recession there is a lack of hiring and it is harder to find your dream job; but don’t give up!! Things will improve—and when this happens, if you have the right skills then you may be “sitting pretty”.
So here is the BIG TIP OF THE DAY – read Daniel Pink’s book "A whole New Mind". Pink outlines the kind of thinking you will need to succeed in the job market in the 21 century—which is very different from 20th century mindset!

Re: Getting *back* to the next step
- For a lot of people (like those working directly in the investment industry), getting back on track may even require career changes to industries that are less impacted by the "bad times".
Do you think now would be a good time to go back to school as a long term investment?

- To stay motivated and work to achieve your goals, first thing is that the goals must be ones that you truly want and believe you can achieve. If the goals are ones that you think you should have,(in other words impotent goals) then forget it, it just won't happen.

Re: Did you meet your goals in 2010?
- Hey Yinka,
I met some of my goals, but I didn't meet others. One of my goals was to get out of debt. I managed to do so, only to get back into debt due to an unforeseen circumstance. Business-wise, I didn't quite reach the goals I had; although, I came much closer than I did back in 2009. At least it was an improvement, and I expect to reach my goals for 2011.
Best wishes for you, and I hope you can reach all the goals you set.
