“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”
– Milton Berle
For over a year, I’ve been working toward the goal of teaching yoga-writing workshops on my own. Although I have taught writing for years and am now a registered yoga instructor, no job postings exist for the position I seek. It’s something I need to create for myself by meeting with people I know—friends, yoga teachers, studio owners, gym administrators—to share my vision and ask for guidance.
When graduating university students tell me they aren’t finding job postings at the companies where they want to work, I encourage them to request an informational interview with an employee—a chance to learn more about the firm and discover how others found their way to work there.
What steps can you take to build a door to the life you envision?
