1. CAREER PLANNING
Career Planning & Development
before you search you must understand what you are looking for
1. Understand your priorities (Money, Work-life balance, growth)
- when I was young I was need money (and experience) = 100 EUR
- at middle part of my career, I had example of toxic company with
high salary, but I lost any happiness and left it = 10 000 EUR
- I prefer now my own business or CEO roles for max freedom of
creativity and vision realization (but I was not ready to it at 20
years, due to games and unfocused life)
2. Career or Business
- example of persons, who start at 14, have 6 companies at CV at
20 and 5 business tries (also read Richard Branson’s book)
3. Preparing to Business
4. Portfolio Collecting
5. Growth of personal capitalization
- key point is collecting of experience
and knowledge
- example at IT and Project Management
with portfolio (McDonalds or Trainee at
Bank, or McDonalds for Lean experience)
