Many of us are reinventing ourselves and healthy. However for a huge group of people that have or are recovering from an illness, reinventing your career is a huge task. So how the heck do you do that? Here are some tips that will help you along the way and much of this is as if you were healthy as well!
1. Recognize your strengths and what you are good at. How would you monetize those strengths? What would you like to do if you had a real choice?
2. What is your money situation in a realistic way. What is your real monthly budget? And I mean your real monthly budget ……How much do you need to really live?
3. Where your illness is concerned….where do you need help? Who can help you? What exactly can your friends and family do for you today? Be as specific as possible. They will appreciate that because no one knows how to help you unless you tell them.
4. Career Counseling is important. If you have been working for someone else for your entire career and now you may be forced to be out on your own due to the economy and/or illness there is lots of free help available to you.
Lastly and most important is to develop a mentality of strength…even in illness. I understand this very well.
