Here’s a list of questions that will assist you in discovering the ideal career for you. Create it first, then attract it. Have fun with this!

Don’t get hung up on what you think is feasible, available or possible. Just create what you want most.

After reviewing my clients’ responses to these questions, it’s interesting how many of them answered the questions. They answered many questions about how it was or how it is in their current job rather than how they want it to be. Remember, answer every question from the place of how you would like it to be and create the vision of what you would like your career to look like.

1. How many hours in a typical workday?
2. What is your desired salary?
3. Who are the people you are working with?
4. What type of clients do you want to serve?
5. What type of product/service do you want to offer?
6. What is your day filled with or what type of activities are you responsible for?
7. What type of industry?
8. What is the level of autonomy?
9. What type of growth opportunities exist?
