  • Tim says "career" is a verb and that every day you have the chance to change your life... Tim is an entrepreneur, trainer, author and former professor of business who leads the global personal business model movement at BusinessModelYou.com
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    My original proposal was to show exactly how to build a personal business model, but TED guidelines restrict anything that could be perceived as self-promotional. They are a very impressive organization, and it was a lot of fun to work with the organizers.

    I would like to do a TEDx talk on "Say Hello to Career Planning". According to the US Department of Labor, people from age 18 to 60 change their careers - not just jobs - but totally different careers an average of 5 times. By the time a person reaches 48, they have changes jobs an average of 14 times. Psychologists say that job loss and career transition is the 2nd most stressful event someone can experience in a lifetime. As a Career Coach for 25 years, I never would have a client plan a "perfect career for life". That's absurd! People change, interests change, the economy and the landscape of technology change - move forward and become obsolete every 3 months. People need assistance to plan these changes. We don't need to do away with "career planning". The original meaning of the word career WAS a verb and not a noun - he is correct.
    "Career" actually means "how we spend our time" - give it some thought. It is entirely possible for everyone - yes everyone! - to enjoy how they spend their time.

    This is kind of self-contradictory if you associate the lesson with the title: Say Goodbye to Career Planning. But this is truly a fact since we need to model a career not make a fixed plan and follow it to death. So I guess the title should have been more like "Don't Fix Your Career - Keep the Plan Flexible." Makes so much sense. Create a Personal Model - You. :)

    My purpose all along working was to retire early - 55. It was my only goal, and worked hard for it by getting jobs of different kind which paid me reasonably enough to save for my early retirement. I also invested my income more than I spent it. Career doesn't mean much to me at all. You have to have a way bigger goal than career planning - finding what you make out of your only once life. Career and finance doesn't always go together. If your motive is right, earn income by contributing to the society, money follows miraculously.

    Maybe we have different definitions for what career planning mean.
    To me, career planning means
    1) understanding everything about yourself, internally, and externally (You can use things such as the IKIGAI as a guide)
    2) you hypothesise on what you what to achieve, and you hypothesise on how to achieve that (for example, you want to be a Singer, you can plan out taking courses)
    3) After which, you test those hypothesis by taking actions (just take the course)
    As time progress, you will have more information, and you can revisit (1) again, and replan it all over again.
    To me, its not saying goodbye to planning, but making a plan that constantly evolves.

    This guy took a big chance to start a Japanese language website in the early nineties and sold the business to a tech company for a large profit probably before the year 2000 which was when tech startups died in great numbers before they could be be sold in IPOs etc. He was in the lucky five percent of Internet startups which were successfully sold by their owners.

    Am I the only person who wonders how he managed to swing between those all professions just like that? I am 26 years old, just before ending my Masters Degree I started to work and after 1,5 year I feel that I'm trapped. I'm constanly struggling to find a job in other profession, that corrsponds with my education and interests, yet without work experience in that particular field or any connections form the "inside" it is just not posssible...

      +Aneta W. Just for a modern day example. I'm 26 too. I've been in the food industry, I've been a CNC machinist/programmer, a fork lift driver, a landscaper, I've driven excavators, terminated high voltage transformers, solar panels, and wind turbines. I've worked as a back up cook, a street musician, a warehouse labourer and most recently I'm a computing curriculum consultant at Khan Academy, a blogger, and a programmer at a web design company while studying Computer Science online. It definitely is possible. Also although I'm currently working towards a Bachelor's part time, I only have a GED - I dropped out of high school at 16. You just have to stop thinking in terms of interest or education. If an opportunity comes up, just jump at it and try your dam hardest at becoming good at it, until it is no longer fruitful. Eventually you'll find your way to something you really enjoy doing. I have an amazing work/life balance right now (which is important with a wife and 3 year old), but it took a lot of risk, failure, and a ton of handshaking to get here. I think I only have like 1 or 2 jobs that I got strictly through an application. The rest were just word of mouth with the right people. You can do it! Just get yourself out there and meet people! And make sure you have an open mind to what a "change in profession" means for you.

      Thanks Ben :) There is a different story for every job I've worked, but sometimes it's just shaking hands with someone and getting to know them. Sometimes they are business owners and looking for someone, and you happen to be looking for work - that's more or less how I got into landscaping.
      The few CNC jobs I had started out as luck really, but I took initiative and leveraged that luck. My original CNC experience started at a company that was pretty small at the time (they are much bigger now, and I'm currently building a website for one of their dealers ironically enough). Since they were so small, I got to experience a lot of different machines simply by bugging them everyday to learn more.
      A couple years after I had moved on from that company, I was looking for work again, and tried to see if the little experience I had would qualify me for an entry level CNC position at an Aerospace company, which is where I used to read CNC machine manuals between cycle times, and that knowledge later got me a better job at a company that "required" a collage education and 3+ years experience.
      The way I got that job - I like to think - is by writing a very candid cover letter. I was straight up and as honest as possible about where I was with my knowledge, and what I was looking to gain from the company. They called me in for an aptitude test, and I passed; job was offered to me the same afternoon.
      Obviously I can't share every story here in a TH-cam comment, but there were a lot of jobs that I took, that sounded pretty crappy if you just read the job description. Despite this, when in a phone conversation with a project manager who I called myself, and the hen says to me - "We work 60+ hours a week, we're on the road away from our families all of the time, sometimes we do shift work to get the job done, and at times you'll be waste deep in freezing cold water and mud, you'll be on contract with no benefits or vacation etc etc..." I said, "Sounds good enough, when can I start?". Turned out to be one of the best jobs I ever worked.

With the needed careers guidance, an average income earning individual can almost reduce the cost of exploration by discovering suitable careers and careers he or she is in love with. And careers are not all about jobs, Business is a career too!

It would have been great to see -- after a _brief_ introdution of the model -- where it makes the difference: Where leads unclarity to stagnation? Which changes can offer new opportunities? Sorry, from this talk I was not possible to learn anything next to the fact, that there is such a tool as BusinessModelYou. (And this is really a GREAT tool!)

    If you equate a personal career with a business venture, you must remember that 9 out of 10 business startups eventually fail, they never succeed. Unfortunately, if you apply that model to a personal career that means that nine out of ten careers end in failure, or in other words, nine out of ten people's lives end in failure. THIS is the real lesson of capitalism - you are most likely doomed to failure, unless you are the lucky ten percent. But how "lucky" can you really be if 9 out of 10 of your childhood friends are doomed to failure, and you "enjoy" your success by yourself?
