Take a minute to think for yourself.
If you don't love what you do at your current workplace, advise, find a new one. If you love what you do at your current workplace, again advice, do not jump to sudden job changes. Make a matter in yourself to fulfill your soul with the work you do. If you really live a remarkable life do not go behind money or anything else, just stay true to yourself by living your life aspiration every single day at the workplace. As such, success will smile at you.
So whenever the spark is not there for you, GO. Dont wait. If the new place does not have it either, Again GO. Till you find where you can live the maximum out of your career, adventure the oceans. People like these are the ones who really grow. When they find the soil that suits them, they grow. They become enormous. They become magnificent, like trees that grow and stand tall for ages.
In your BA career, you might have felt something is missing. That it is not the domain for you? the company does not have the values you care about? or the practices that you love to do? Then it's time for a decision. Because everything that you deeply desire is out there. Never settle till you get there.
Then comes when you get the life you want. The company you wanted. The environment that would help you to innovate. THE JOB YOU LOVE. It's time now my friend to rise like a tree in that fertile soil. Get the maximum out of your skills. Try out new concepts, introduce new concepts and take the organization with you and soar.
As a BA when you have this life keep on innovating. Try out new concepts from BABOK. Try Design Sprints, new technologies, tools, modeling techniques, and new ways of thinking and working. Try out new methods to gather requirements and teach your team about them. Open eyes and with that minds. Innovate your day to be so satisfactory that you will LIVE. That should be all of our aspirations of being a BA. Then you will touch the soul of the profession and will become successful.
If you are in doubt now, stop for a minute and think. You are still starting. There is a lot to win in the world for a resilient heart. You need to just adventure upon it.
