Overview Once heard someone's mother say that there are enough ways in this world for everyone to have a path of their own. Not to be disrespectful of someone's mother, but it's probably more likely that most of us will end up with about four to six paths. That very thought may cause you to break into an intense sweat. But the idea of changing career directions multiple times in your life doesn't have to be the stuff of nightmares. Yes, omniscient experts estimate that you will now change careers about every 10 years. And when you think about why that is — which we highly recommend you do — it makes sense. The most obvious reason: Technology can make some jobs obsolete or at the very least dramatically change their nature. Or you might work for a dying industry. Perhaps your particular line of work may change so much it's now a shadow of its old self and not something you enjoy doing. It's important to know why you need or want to change paths because your next steps depend on it It's also important to understand that that you don't necessarily need to "reinvent" yourself four to six times. A more practical and less stress-inducing plan is to just be yourself. Although you may make a career change or tweak your direction because of outside influences, you also may do so because you yourself have changed. But you do need to know what's driving the change to prepare yourself for a new direction. Observations about your industry.   What's changing this month, this year? Why? How does that affect you? Does anything about that interest you? Is there a way to capitalize on that and do work that's more valuable to the industry? If interested, is there a way to start a business around that? Can you to do a different type of work that's ancillary to your industry but builds on your knowledge, experience and interests? Observations about yourself.    What do you want more of in your work? What's lacking now? Can you create a new role in your industry where you have that? Or do you need to make a bigger change? What are you drawn toward that may be different than the work you do now? What have you recently learned or seen that gave you that excited, fluttery feeling? If you moved in that direction, what do you need to learn more about? What do you need to do to be prepared to work in that area? What's changing inside of you? What's going on in your life that is pushing you to make a change? As you track and absorb this information, you can begin to make decisions about what's next. Is a sabbatical in order? What can you and your family do differently to help you change course? Can you learn while you earn? The world will keep changing. And so will you.
