I was a young guy in 1974. I had just completed a year of service as a VISTA  Becoming Limitless Review Volunteer and was in my first job with a training and organization development consulting company. We had a few employees, but the majority of our trainers and consultants were independent contractors. These people worked for themselves, contracting their services. I liked this career model. I decided that my vision for my career was to run my own one person consulting business.

At the time, I was 24 with a BA and little work experience. I wasn't ready to create a profitable business. But I made plans with my end in mind. I furthered my education, getting a Master's in Communication and a Doctorate in Adult Education and Organization Behavior. My second job was as a trainer for an oil company, my third was as a Manager of Training and Organization Development for a chemical company. My fourth job was as a Director of Organization Development for a very large pharmaceutical company. All of these jobs took me one step closer to opening my own consulting business.

I finally did so in 1988. It took me 14 years, but I stayed on the road to achieving my clarity of purpose. 21 years later I'm still at it. My purpose hasn't changed. I'm still in business for myself, helping others succeed. My direction has changed a little over the years. I do very little training these days, a little consulting, a lot of speaking and a whole lot of coaching.

The common sense point here is simple. Successful people are clear about the purpose and direction of their lives and careers. They begin with the end in mind. They know where they are going in the long run. I figured out what I wanted in my life when I was 24 years old. I consciously took steps to keep me moving in that direction. I didn't follow a completed, straight path - I had a few detours and missteps along the way, but I kept heading in the same direction until I achieved what I set out to do. It helps to get clear about what you want out of your life and career early on. However, it's never too late to start. If you haven't already done so, I urge you to figure out what you want out of your life and career, chart a path for getting there, and follow that path.
