Reinvesting Versus Reinventing

Financially, these are challenging times for many.    Some people have been forced to take a new path and, as they say,  reinvent themselves.   I think that is admirable.   However, in taking that approach one tends to put aside some of their attributes/skills that they have honed over their careers.   Many of these attributes/skills reflect who they are and are transferable.

Hence, if you are in transition mode, I suggest that you take the approach of reinvesting yourself  as it will assist in keeping your attributes/skills at the forefront and aid in determining which are  transferable or not.   It will also help you identify opportunities  that are a “fit” for you.  

Transition doesn’t happen successfully overnight.   Like my Dad always said, “If at first you don’t succeed, try second base or shortstop!”
