Career Shift in Full Swing!
I don't know about you, but my view of what the world's possibilities for me has changed so drastically over the past 5 years.
First off, I'll share how my goals have changed over the past 5 years and how that mental shift has resulted in great benefits for myself, my family, and, I believe, my career.
My goal changed from "being a chemist" to "being a perpetual learner." Since then, I have moved away from the subject of my graduate degree, to a management development position at McMaster-Carr Supply Co., to start a business, Dance Yourself Fit LLC, in 2010 which manufactures Slip-On Dancers that are used in dance aerobics workouts across the US and around the world.
I am continually learning and always looking to make things better. I have now formed the habit of looking critically at an operation and making it better. Sometimes, I think I need to learn to turn that off. Regardless, I don't think that general goal of being a perpetual learner is going to change anytime soon nor do I want it to.
Now, I'm working on setting a more concrete goal of stepping away from my business (and not having it fall apart).
