Here are a few tips to succeed in that effort:
1. Believe you can be flexible and adaptable. Long-time readers know that I advocate the quote attributed to Henry Ford; "Whether you think that you can, or think that you can't, you're right."
2. Take inventory. List the top five accomplishments in your life that brought you the most satisfaction. Then, for each accomplishment, list five or more skills or attitudes you used to achieve them. Follow that up by identifying the common threads, and if you can, rank those skills and attitudes in the order of how much you enjoy them.
3. Brainstorm and network ad-nauseum. Take your list of skills and attitudes and meet with people you know. Neighbors, friends, and relatives are a good starting point. Brainstorm with these people about what kind of work could align with the skills and attitudes you identified in the previous step. The more brainstorming and networking you do, the more likely an opportunity will show itself.
