Career Planning Is Simple With The Ladder Of Dreams

Hey Folks,

We have recently talked about why career planning is important, if you want to refresh your memory or if you missed them, click here to trace the story.

Ladder Of Dream - Career Sample
Today I will give an example of how simple it is to create a career plan using The Ladder Of Dream (Click on image to get a bigger view):

Method Of Planning
This is a sample of career progression from a fresh graduate aiming to be a Financial Controller one day, not so far in the future. Was that hard to fill? Not really, you just need to know your goal and where you are now. Then you fill in the blanks in reverse (i.e. the logical step just before you reach your goal, etc) and your career path is drawn.

Important Note
It is important to remember that you don’t need to like any of the job in between, they are there as part of a career progression. You need to learn the skills in that position and do well enough to progress and move on. Your dream is that job listed in the number 1 position. But of course, if you like the job in between, it helps to keep you motivated naturally.

Why It Benefits
The number 1 factor that kept many employees from progressing (other then not having a plan) is - “I don’t like the next job that comes along with that promotion” but they love the next job beyond that. The job that incinerated most careers are called “Middle Management”. But with a little planning and a new perspective of it, you will be able to handle it.

Funny that you talk about planning, James.
I accidentally happens to learn about Simpleology and it teaches planning for free.
If you wonder what’s simpleology relationship with Law of Attraction, I’ve written my conclusion Simpleology vs. The Secret

Hey Aldian,

Thanks for sharing Simpleology. Mark Joyner is an impressive guy.

I have not plunged into Simpleology but reading what I can, I gather that Simpleology and the 40 day work course aims to tackle habits. While The Ladder Of Dream is design in giving direction, generating motivation via baby steps and focusing on whats important immediately (this part is similar to Simpleology)

I think the 2 can go hand in hand

Cheers
James

Good article James, congratulations. One tip for your readers, when you want to acquire a new skill, go to a company that provides that kind of training. Yes, it costs, but think of the time that you are saving, plus you have the guaranty that you are doing it right.

Good framework… if it’s a well trodden career path you’re after. Many entrepreneurs are wearing their own path to their goals. The skills required for their success can’t be learned from any one University or College course. I’m guessing that your template can be used for these folk too. Would like to hear what ideas you have for those of us forging unconventional career paths.
