Your career plays a significant role in your life, but what if you’re unhappy with your chosen path? Or you aren’t sure what path to even take?
That unease can have far-reaching implications, affecting more than just your work life.
It’s time to get career clarity so you can find joy and fulfillment in the work you do.
At Succeed OnPurpose, we believe your career should align with your purpose.
Your purpose is your why. Why you get up in the morning each day. Why you find meaning in certain tasks and not others.
We guide individuals to their purpose using a proven process that results in a two-word purpose statement.
The process takes reflection and requires you to take a deep look inside. We’ll show you how to push aside the expectations you and others have for what you should be doing so you can proceed as your authentic self.
You’ll think through your passions and your strengths. Your purpose lies somewhere at the intersection of what you excel at and what you find meaning in.
In addition to purpose, there are several factors that play an essential role in finding a career you’ll thrive in. One of the most critical, yet often overlooked, aspects is how you like to work. We call this your Career Persona.
Everyone has a primary persona, although some do recognize parts of themselves in a secondary type. These types are Builder, Doer and Solver.
As the name suggests, Builders enjoy creating. They like building programs and processes so they can create something new or make something better than it was. Once their task is complete, they’re ready to tackle another.
Builders are risk-takers as they tend to focus on what is possible, rather than the problem. They love a challenge and appreciate a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Because of this, Builders do well in start-ups and small businesses. They also make excellent entrepreneurs.
Doers are known for getting things done. They love a to-do list and knowing exactly what is expected of them.
Typically, Doers avoid change and risk, so they enjoy working in familiar and predictable environments.
Doers do well in larger businesses and corporate environments.
Solvers love problem solving, whether it be a business or personal issue. They sometimes even seek out problems, just so they can find a solution.
Solvers enjoy a good challenge but appreciate some degree of predictability in their work environment. They accept change and can take risks, if needed.
Solvers can work in big or small businesses, as long as their role is focused around finding solutions.
