The only 5 questions worth asking and answering - if you're feeling career stuck in your 40s or 50s. (Don't read if you're not ready for change)

The 5 questions that will help you - if you're feeling career stuck

Here's what's annoyingly difficult for us midlifers...

Progress towards more satisfying and fulfilling work, hinges on our ability to ask the right questions, at the right time.?

But, what’s annoyingly difficult for us to figure out, is which questions are most valuable to help us focus and move forward in the right direction.

Endlessly circling wrong questions

In my daily work, I see smart, successful professionals in their 40s and 50s waste endless days, weeks, months, or even years trying to figure out answers to two styles of questions:

1. Questions they can’t answer yet
2. Questions that don’t help them at all

These questions are useless.?

Time wasters.??

Stallers.?

They fool them into thinking they’re tackling the problem, when in fact...

These questions keep them stuck...exactly where they are…exactly where they don’t want to be.

There’s another style of question that’s much more valuable:

Questions you’ve either forgotten, or are too afraid, to ask.?

But, these are bloody hard questions to answer.

Even when we're brave enough to ask them.

Of course, you know what I’m going to say….it’s these questions that hold the magic.?

Note: Don’t read on unless you really want to take action.

5 Questions Worth Asking and Answering

Here are five main questions I see my clients forgetting, or avoiding asking themselves.?

Of course, once you’ve read them, you’ll then need to decide whether you are willing to do the thinking required, to figure out the answers.??

1. When was the last time I felt deeply satisfied, happy or fulfilled at work??(Be specific)
2. Which very specific skills and strengths do I want to use on a very regular basis, to allow me to feel satisfied with my work every day, or as often as possible??
3. If I’m still feeling the same as I do now in 12 months, what will the fallout look and feel like?
4. If I felt happier and more fulfilled at work, how would the rest of my life improve/change? Family life? Work-life balance? Relationships? Finances? Sleep? Mental and physical health??(Be specific)
5. What’s stopping me from writing down the answers to these questions right now, beginning to learn what I need to, so I can finish somewhere better?

MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION = READ NUMBER 5 AGAIN…

Then make the decision that’s right for you.

Is now the moment you decide to do the work to set you on a different path with your work…or would it be best to put it off for some other year?

I PROMISE YOU, YOU’RE NOT TOO OLD AND IT’S NOT TOO LATE

Final question…

What’s wrong with right now??
