You own your career. Who's managing it? The smart money is on "do it yourself" career management. If you trade your time for money, you must take responsibility for planning and managing your own career. You must keep your freedom and independence, while balancing short and long term priorities. You need to use a process and a strategy that gives you the power to choose your own value, rewards and recognition while you continue to grow and thrive in your chosen profession.
You make choices about the work you do – choices rooted in who you are, what you need and what you want. Your choices about your work may be deliberate, may be not, and may be a bit of both. You do the work you’ve chosen and that work becomes your career. You may have intended for your career to be what it is, or your career may seem to be something that just happened. Either way, your career becomes a part of who you are, what you need and what you want – your career then affects the ongoing choices you make about the work you do. So, minding your own career is about who you are, what you need and what you want. Minding your own career is making clear choices about the work you do, the career your work becomes, and the effect your career has on who you are.
