Is “reinventing your life” practical in these tough economic times? What is “career myopia” and how does it tie in to your career strategy? Today, Lindsey Pollak interviews Dr. Kristin Cardinale, author of the new book, The 9-to-5 Cure: Work on Your Own Terms and Reinvent Your Life, who shares the answers to these questions along with her thoughts on why embracing entrepreneurship and reinventing your career is not only practical; it is critical in our day and age.
According to Cardinale, living the life of your dreams and creating work that fulfills you is a realistic goal. As you’ll learn on this podcast, her tips for making the leap from a full-time job to entrepreneurship include:
1) Really know what your goals are.
2) Keep your “big picture” in mind instead of focusing on the short-term
3) Determine your goals for your career, relationships, education and finances.
4) Recognize the importance of time off.
