Reinventing yourself is initially a very in-depth process of self-analysis. You have to figure out what you like, want, where you are talented, and what you are or could easily become passionate about. You have to figure out which areas of your life are working for you, which need some tweaking and which ones need a major overhaul. This is a lot to think about when you combine it with everything else that is going on in your life on a routine basis.
If this is overwhelming you or you are just not certain where your strengths or aptitudes lie; there are many tools available to help you. Just type “aptitude test” into our Google search and you will see hundreds of results for you to choose from. An option that I have used before is the ‘48 Days Personality Profile‘. I was astonished after taking it at how accurate the test was in describing my personality and identifying career options for me. Dan Miller, creator of “48 Days to the Work You Love” also has an excellent free e-newsletter available for people changing jobs, exploring their vocation or starting their own business. I have subscribed to it for years and am always amazed at the fresh and interesting material that he creates.
