Writing Your Future... the Dream Bio.

As I prepare to present a clinic on entrepreneurship for college students, I'm reminded of a poignant exercise in career planning:

1. Google someone who is currently doing what you want to do.
2. Read their bio.
3. Determine their path... perhaps email them and request an interview.
4. Compare their path to your current trajectory.
5. Write your "dream" bio and the steps you'll take to get there.

Am I suggesting you copy someone's life? No. But you can use their examples as a map.

When XC skiing in the back country, if there are already tracks, you can choose to take them, cut your own, or use a little of both. The bottom line is, you get to the destination.
