When these three things are in balance your career isn&#8217;t just your job. It becomes something you do and makes you happy.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who are you?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Self-discovery is a life-long pursuit. While you can be influenced and evolve based off certain experiences, Frank states each person has a core that rarely changes. This core defines who you are and what makes you happy. Frank&#8217;s challenge\u00a0is to find the things you love to do, play, read, blog about, or discuss with your friends and invest in them\u00a0<b><i>now<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Why are you doing this vs. that?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Frank discussed the idea of the value chain. He listed 7 values which you manage on a daily basis: standard of living, location, family, friends, community, hobbies and health.\u00a0By looking at each of these values you can\u00a0prioritize\u00a0those most important. You can&#8217;t do it all -do you want to prioritize money, time with family, or hobbies? Frank states that you must evaluate\u00a0what&#8217;s most important to you and do those.<\/p>\n<p><b>What is you capstone?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Think for a second &#8211; what is that dream capstone job? \u00a0Where you want to be in 10 years? \u00a0Frank encourages us to identify our capstone job and look at the skills you need to get there. \u00a0Once you know the skills you need, find the ways to develop them. \u00a0Too often, we get stuck in the DOOM loop in work &#8211; we start a new job and we are learning a lot (we are not good at it yet but enjoy the challenge) but over time we progress and eventually become good at it but don&#8217;t enjoy it which leads to a bad spiral. \u00a0Frank states that we should always look for roles where we like what we are doing but aren&#8217;t good at it yet (so we are learning)<\/p>\n<p>Finding a balance between who you are, why you do the things you do and clarity on the task you want to be doing will give us that happiness you are searching for. Focus on who\u00a0<b>you\u00a0<\/b>are before you look at the &#8220;what.&#8221; Frank concludes by saying, &#8220;until you take time to figure out the &#8216;who&#8217; and &#8216;why,&#8217; you will have a hard time getting everything into balance. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And as Frank says &#8211; find your passion and\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">GO FOR IT!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is career happiness? \u00a0We all strive for it but it often feels elusive.
