Figure Out the First Step

Take a look at your list of goals, focusing on the first item on your list. It should be a job title or position, something within your reach, like “entry-level accounting position” or “student teacher.”

If this first position is not something you can expect to achieve with your experience and education, you need to do one of two things: figure out additional intermediary steps, or determine what resources you’ll need to be better qualified for this position.
