Make a Career Change and Seize the Opportunity
Having to make a career change will become more and more frequent as we cope with world changes as they affect us.
What's more the pace is accelerating and the need for us all to adjust is greater than ever. Economically power is shifting and the consequences are massive.
But; this is a time of opportunity! so prepare yourself and seize the opportunities as they arise. Your first essential requirement will be to learn

China and India are emerging nations using modern technology to massive effect as their economies grow at rates previously unheard of.
Although these changes will be seen by most as threatening they are really opportunity in disguise.
The key to succeeding in in your career in the new world order is to be prepared to change. Jobs for life no longer exist, particularly in the corporate world and the people who suffer are those that cannot adjust.
World-wide, pensions are under pressure so that means we all have to look out for ourselves in later life. This is not a threat it is a challenge if you are prepared.
Working from shop floor apprentice to CEO/Chairman in a variety of businesses and learning new skills in executive positions on the way bred ambition rather than fear of career change.
Always ready for the next challenge/career change I probably became un-employable so it was natural for me to
become a consultant
in 1990.
The mind set which allows people to adjust to change is vital because one thing is now certain, more and more will be forced to
change career,
so better to be prepared and instigate it, rather than be forced into it.
There was a recent press article about house moves in one of our national papers which illustrates the point well.
The article related how when a young family moved to a slightly larger house they needed new bookshelves. Appalled by the price the husband decided he would make his own.
He was a corporately employed IT expert. He is now a maker of fine furniture because as he explored the woods to use and started creating designs he became an enthusiast.
His enthusiasm grew when he bought his second hand tools and talked with established craftsmen.
As he explored the different woods he started to specialise in the design and production of contemporary chairs from oak or American black walnut which can sell for upto $7,000 a time.
This is real life example of career change where an enterprising
individual from a corporate IT background started his
home craft business
because it became a passion.
That in itself must be an ingrediant for success. It's a fine business example of motivation, business creation and niche marketing around a newly acquired skill.
These are some of the qualities that will be needed as the world economy continues to develop. So it really is about
opportunities
not threats.
Tip.
Bring enthusiasm and optimism to your life and use your many skills and talents to start
your own business
benefit, anticipate change welcome it.
