dear baba...gud morning. Life mein vision and mission dono hona chahiye i think. What do u say?
Instead of wasting too much time, i'll get to the point:-
Background:
Always a topper. Masters degree in IT from reputed college.PMP certified. Career has been reasonably good. Although havent made lot of money, but still good enough to live the way i want. Parents always encouraged focus on career and toiled hard to make me what i am today. I am forever indebted to them.
Where i am currently:
Global head S/w development in an IT firm. Pursuing SSBB certification (which has been lingering on). Stuck in a 12 hour job routine with little time to spend for my family esp my 4 year old son. I feel guilty about that. Any switch to a similar profile would entail same work related issues. Switching to a diff profile not very easy. Quitting not an option since i need the money to support my father and my family. Plus i do not want to depend on anyone for my financial needs. Also, my parents have spent their sweat and blood for my education. I cant just throw it all away.
What do i want:
Enough flexibility in my life to work out the time and money for myself. I need to get enough money while spending quality time with my family.
I need to feel good about what i am doing. I want to enjoy and do my own thing.
How do i get what i want:
The regular management hierarchy will not help me. I need to look outside the familiar path and do my own thing. even if i change jobs that offer me some more flexibility, it'll not be any different. There would be other kinds of issues. So that's not going to help. I feel its time for retraining myself and aquiring new skills and learn new trade. I should be investing in myself - physically and mentally.
Vision:
I should be able to be on my own by 2012 begining and latest by 2012 end. I have to be physically and mentally fit and strong to ensure all needs are taken care of. I should have enough finances and means to generate money further without trudging up the 9 to 5 work path.
Mission:
To achieve my target, i have to do the following:
1. Complete my SSBB by dec 2010. NO CARRY FORWARD TO 2011.
2. Achieve general fitness level by 31 Dec 2010.
3. Start reading up of Finances by 1 Jan 2011 and complete training by Dec 2011.
4. Parallely start something for writing proficiency. Evaluate the courses in Jan 2011.
5. Build decent portfolio by Dec 2011.
6. Focus on day to day office activities and dont worry too much about work situation or aquiring skills in this field. You are not going to pursue it anyways.
So as of now - I need to just focus on day to day office work and completing SSBB by dec 2010. And focus on my health. Thats the bottom line.
Baba - if at all i ever get confused, direct me to this page.
