Last week on Creating Your Encore Career, I reflected on some of the things that happened on the podcast in 2021. I thanked many of the people who helped me make everything happen and looked back at the changes we made and our accomplishments over the past year.
This week, I discussed my intentions for 2022. Throughout the episode, I shared some new things I want to implement on the podcast in the new year. I also discussed some of my goals regarding my personal encore career and mindset.
Mini-Book
In 2022, I plan to write and release a mini-book. In it, I’ll talk about my particular framework for how I hope to help people start encore careers. That framework is:
1. Work on your mindset (what you need to change about your thinking to start your encore career).
2. Figure out your value proposition. You're going to want to sell to people so you must figure out how you’ll help them understand how you can provide value to them.
3. Learn new tech and skills.
4. Learn marketing and business skills.
5. Form your practice plan.
Wellbeing Goals
Another new theme I want to add this year is well-being. As Boomers and Gen-Xers, we're hopefully going to live longer lives. However, we still have to be intentional about having health to go along with our longer lives.
Often, as we come to the end of a career, we can be burnt out. We’ve been sprinting for 30 years and haven’t developed many good behaviors that will help us through our next 30 years.
So, this year I'm going to spend some time thinking and talking about wellbeing.
I hope you all enjoyed this summary of where I want to go in 2022 and will join me as we move into the new year!
