Very few of my friends have what they would call a dream job. Some have jobs that are pretty close to dream jobs; others have jobs they actively despise. Let’s call them nightmare jobs.
Each of these friends has a scheme in mind for getting into a work situation that more close resembles a dream job, and time will tell how much success each has in that pursuit.
For those that are actively planning their dream job strategy, the Dumb Little Man blog has a great list of tips entitled 22 Secrets to Discovering Your Dream and Living It.
One of my favorites is number 20:
Set aside time each day. You will not go anywhere if you don’t devote time to your dream. Set aside an hour (or at least 30 minutes) each day for working towards your dream. If you can do more, great, but one step at a time is all it takes. Set aside time either in the morning, or in the evening, or some time when you know you will do it every day. Make it a habit, and you will succeed.
