JOB OPPORTUNITIES an entrepreneur, to pay you, you must bring something of value to the table." To establish your value proposition, consider your passion - which allows you to build resilience - your strengths and what skills you have that are in demand. "Having passion and talent is great, but if you can't get paid for doing it, it's not what you want to build your career strategy around," Metzger says. • Create your dream job description. What would your perfect day at work look like? Are you in an office or your pajamas? What are your hours? Most importantly, how are you spending your time? Write out what your dream job would be like. Pay careful attention to the job responsibilities; you want a job where you'll spend most of your time playing to your passions and strengths. • Make it happen. Once you've established what your dream job looks like, lay out a plan for getting there. That doesn't necessarily mean doing a job search. Very often, change can happen incrementally. How can you spend just a few more minutes today on something related to your value proposition? In many cases, your current job can evolve into your dream job. In others, you are building your portfolio of experiences to better position yourself down the road. Metzger also advises engaging your manager to help find ways to make it happen. Most managers want to support you in furthering your growth and appreciate the clarity from you. Once they understand what you want to do, they can be an active advocate whether that means supporting you in taking on a special project, making networking introductions or giving you candid feedback. "We all have more discretion over how we spend our day than we think," Metzger says. "The key is to take thoughtful action, rather than simply letting your career - and life - happen to you."
