CAREER PLAN
Worth 5%
Step One
All of us have had grand ideas at some time in our life about what
we would like to do. When we are young it is probably driven by
being famous or heroic. It had more to do with what others thought
was important, than what we would choose for ourselves. What did
you want to be when you were 10 years old or less? What was your
passion?
When I was 10 years old I wanted to become a Pilot.

As we grow older most of us have modified or changed our career

direction, based on what turns us on, or something we have found
success in doing. What did you want to do when you were 15 years
old?
When I was 15 years old I wanted to become a hockey player.

If you are older what are your most recent career dreams?
I would like to start my own business i.e. import and export.

Most of these career/life decisions are centered around what we

dream we can be, or would like to be. There are many forces in our
lives that affect what we want for ourselves. What were some
forces that have shaped your early life?
positive: we learn from our mistakes.

negative: hard work doesnt pay off all the time.

How much of your dream is your own passion and how much
someone elses? Write a few sentences about the dream that is
truly yours.

 I would like to start my own business and that is my own

dream ad want to become a successful businessman.
