Eyesonthedollar It’s so tough if you don’t have a clue. Once you have a direction everything becomes easier.

Beachbudget I like the sound of that approach. For myself, I wanted to switch fields so I needed to build some skills outside my area.

brokeandbeau I also love to do everything all at the same time. It’s hard to stay the course that way so I try to resist.

I think I’m focusing more on building relationships and just doing what I already know better and doing it more so that people can see what I’m working on, versus trying to convince them of what I can do. Does that make sense?

Knowing what you want from work is like knowing what you want from your money. If you have no clue, it’s easy to burn out or always think the grass is greener on the other side. No job is perfect, but if you have some goals about what you want it to be and how to get there, it’s much more manageable.

I have a tendency to start building a skill then drop off. I think tackling one thing at a time is important. Too easy to get overload otherwise.
