Finding a “job” isn’t all that difficult, regardless of the economy.  Finding the perfect “opportunity” for yourself, however, can be challenging.  If you follow the 7 rules in this series, you will significantly increase your chances at quickly finding the perfect career opportunity.  My goal is to make your life easier and keep you focused on doing things the right way, not the easy way.  By doing things the right way, you will be more efficient and your search will be more focused and effective.

You have created a vision of success that you’ll reach by finding the perfect opportunity for you.  Do not accept anything short of an opportunity that will eventually lead you to that vision.  There are millions of opportunities in the world, so there is no reason to settle for anything less than what you want.  Make sure that you find an opportunity you absolutely love, that challenges you and makes you want to jump out of bed every morning.  Most people are miserable with their current career choices because they were too lazy to put in the time and effort that is necessary to achieve excellence.  If you demand excellence, look hard, build relationships with successful professionals and stay committed to this process, your chances of achieving success will increase exponentially.
