Let me introduce you to a simple career technology that guides people through a practical process as they undergo some major decision-making. Millions of people are at or approaching a crossroad in their life and under similar conditions. They are uncertain of their current and/or future employment, career path, education, etc.. This author saw a way to empower individuals by directing them into themselves to find the right choices that need to be made at this point in their life.
Premise 1: “You have all the right answers if you ask the right questions.”
There are 9 questions that when answered layout the choices before you to arrive at the better decision. Answer the questions below and place a brief summary in each respective square
- Q 1. What are you currently doing? (GRID square B2)

Premise 2: “Focus on who you are today.”
It isn’t about what you can do or what is available in the current profession. It’s about focusing on who you are today and where do you want to go from here. The grid represents your options and your maturity, your emotions enabled by a clear think process, can make the right choice more obvious. Some times what you are afraid to do is a clear indicator of the next thing you really need to do.
Premise 3: “Allow yourself to be guided.”
Remember that YOU are the best one to choose what direction to take with your life. Trust yourself above everyone else. However, if there is someone in your life, like a parent, mate or close friend, a mentor or a coach in whom you value their opinion, by all means bounce your final decisions off them.
Yours in Real Life,
