5 Things You CAN Do TODAY To Bring Your Dream Job Closer The Seven Minute Difference: Small Steps to Big Changes, by Allyson Lewis A book was recommended and lent to me, The Seven Minute Difference: Small Steps to Big Changes, by Allyson Lewis. You know I like to share what I learn, so while I haven’t finished, why wait passing on some nuggets of wisdom I have already gained? What the author highlights is how you can move inches closer to your goals every day by dedicating what is completely reasonable to â€" 7 minutes. Every day, no matter how busy we are, we can find 7 minutes to make our futures a priority by doing what are called micro-movements. The artist Sark writes about practical ways that you can infuse your life with creativity and be an artist, and she first introduced me to micro-movements. I had forgotten how great micro-movements can be, especially when completing a project or achieving a goal seems insurmountable or overwhelming. I thought I would share 5 micro-movements that you can do TODAY that should take about 7 minutes and will move you closer to your dream job and/or move your dream job closer to you. Answer the following questions. I have found that it is best to suspend any thoughts that you might have about whether your answers are realistic or not. Consider this a stream of consciousness exercise, where you just let the thoughts flow. Do not judge them. Just record them to refer to later. #1: Taking into consideration your skills, experience and passion, what is the greatest contribution that you could make if you knew that you would be paid well for it? #2: What new skills and experience could you gained that would help you make the contribution even greater either in scope or in the number of people impacted. #3: If you could handpick your boss, what qualities would he or she possess that would motivate you to achieve your highest potential and what kind of experiences would they have already gained that you would like the benefit of learning from? #4: What kind of people would you like to work among? #5: Where do these people go to feed their own passions where you might be able to meet them and pick their brain about potential companies? That’s it. Just answer the questions freely â€" nothing too difficult or overwhelming. I’m not telling you to go and do anything with these answers â€" YET. When you are done, come up with your own next 7-minute micro-movements that can take you even further. UNVEIL YOUR BRILLIANCE!
