The New Way To Start Out Step Up Or Start Over In Your Career
![Jese Leos](https://bookishfables.com/author/reginald-cox.jpg)
In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, traditional career paths no longer hold the same appeal they once did. Gone are the days where staying with one company for your entire career was the norm. The modern working professional is now looking for ways to start out, step up, or start over in their career in a way that aligns with their values, passions, and aspirations.
Redefining Success: What Does It Mean to You?
The first step in embarking on a new career journey is to redefine what success means to you personally. Is it climbing the corporate ladder and achieving a high-paying job title? Or is it finding a fulfilling role that allows you to make a difference in the world? Perhaps it's a combination of both.
Understanding your own definition of success will guide your decision-making process as you explore new career opportunities. It's important to discard societal expectations and focus on what truly brings you joy and satisfaction.

Identify Your Passions and Skills
Taking the time to identify your passions and skills is crucial when starting out, stepping up, or starting over in your career. These are the building blocks that will guide you towards a career path that aligns with your interests and strengths.
Ask yourself: What activities make you lose track of time? What subjects or industries do you feel most drawn to? Take note of your natural talents and the areas where you excel. It's essential to find a career that allows you to utilize and expand upon these skills.
Research Unconventional Career Paths
Gone are the days where a college degree limits your career options. The rise of online learning platforms and alternative education paths has opened up a world of possibilities. Take advantage of these resources to explore unconventional career paths that may not have been on your radar before.
Consider taking online courses, attending webinars, or joining professional networking groups. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals and learning from experts in your desired field will provide valuable insights and inspiration as you embark on your new career journey.
Embrace a Growth Mindset
Starting out, stepping up, or starting over in your career requires a growth mindset. Embrace the idea that you are capable of learning new skills, adapting to change, and continuously improving yourself.
Be open to feedback and constructive criticism, and view challenges as opportunities for growth. Cultivating a growth mindset will empower you to overcome obstacles, take calculated risks, and ultimately succeed in your chosen career path.
Network, Network, Network
Networking has long been touted as the key to career success, and this still holds true in today's professional landscape. Building meaningful relationships with industry professionals, mentors, and potential employers can open doors to new opportunities.
Attend industry events, join professional organizations, and engage with online communities relevant to your desired career path. Actively seek out mentoring opportunities and be willing to assist others along their career journeys. Networking not only helps you discover new career paths but also provides a support system to lean on during transitional phases.
Embrace the Entrepreneurial Spirit
Entrepreneurship is not limited to starting a business; it is a mindset that can be applied to any career path. Embracing the entrepreneurial spirit means taking initiative, being proactive, and constantly seeking ways to innovate and improve.
Approach your career with an entrepreneurial mindset by seeking out new opportunities for growth, taking ownership of your professional development, and constantly challenging yourself to go beyond your comfort zone. This mindset shift will empower you to create your own career path, regardless of the industry or organization you are in.
Take Action and Be Persistent
Embarking on a new career journey is not always easy, and setbacks are inevitable. However, what sets successful professionals apart is their ability to take action and persist in the face of challenges.
Break down your career goals into manageable steps and set deadlines for yourself. Create a detailed action plan and hold yourself accountable for following through. Understand that setbacks and rejections are part of the process, but don't let them deter you from pursuing your dreams.
The new way to start out, step up, or start over in your career is all about embracing change, redefining success, and taking control of your professional journey. By identifying your passions, continuously learning and growing, networking with industry professionals, and adopting an entrepreneurial mindset, you can carve out a fulfilling career path that aligns with your values and aspirations.
Remember, your career is not set in stone. It's never too late to make a change or explore new opportunities. So take the first step today and embark on a journey towards a career that truly brings you joy and satisfaction.

The Wall Street powerhouse and author of Expect to Win offers a new way to conceptualize career strategies and gives us proven tools for successful change
Whether we’re starting out, striving toward a promotion, or looking for a new opportunity, the working world isn’t what it used to be. Wall Street veteran Carla Harris knows this, and in Strategize to Win she gives readers the tools they need to get started; get “unstuck” from bad situations; redirect momentum; and position themselves to manage their careers no matter the environment. With her trademark galvanizing advice, Harris identifies and clarifies issues that are often murky, offering lessons on: Identifying and making the most of your work profile (are you a Good Soldier? a Leader? an Arguer?); preparing for a career change without going back to school or taking a step down: honing three essential skills industry leaders possess (and how to get them); tuning into unspoken cues; and thriving through change. Introducing a new way of planning one’s career in five-year units, Strategize to Win distills battle-tested and step-by-step tools that Carla has used to launch and sustain her own successful career and help others move forward, recover from setbacks, and position themselves for success.
