You’re not even going to investigate what this new job is? I’m not saying you’re going to take the job. You’re not saying you’re going to move to Wisconsin. You’re not saying you’re going to do this. You’re just investigating. You’re just checking it out. At least, challenge yourself to step over that little bit of fear to at least investigate, because so often I see people who simply — when given — opportunity, as I say, knocks on the door and they slam the door in its face. That’s like, “Oh gosh, don’t do that.” Yes, that opportunity may not be for you, but how do you know if you don’t find out more about the opportunity.<br> <br> Links for items mentioned in this talk:<br> <br> * <a href="http://welchwrite.com/career/2012/07/16/video-career-compass-finding-your-career-north-from-careercampscv-2012/#sthash.MyLfhWls.SwTnA7TO.dpuf">Video: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012</a><br> * <a href="http://welchwrite.com/career/2012/07/17/audio-career-compass-finding-your-career-north-from-careercampscv-2012/#sthash.7r4KPk1D.dpuf">Audio: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012</a><br> * <a href="http://tinyurl.com/q42v2nu">Career Compass Kindle Book</a><br> <br> * <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0075Z2R0O/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0075Z2R0O&linkCode=as2&tag=career-op-20&linkId=6JERMIDVZM2SYQ52"></a><br> <br> <br> * <a href="http://welchwrite.com/career/2012/05/21/video-archives-career-prescriptions-at-tuesdays-with-transitioners/#sthash.KfORrSxp.dpuf">Video Archives: Career Prescriptions at Tuesdays with Transitioners</a><br> * <a href="http://welchwrite.com/blog/2015/03/16/video-careercamp-new-unconference-methods-for-helping-people-build-the-career-they-deserve-with-douglas-e-welch/#sthash.tGVBG2qk.dpuf">Video: CareerCamp: New Unconference Methods for Helping People Build the Career They Deserve with Douglas E.
