Key Takeaways From Today’s Episode
What is a Portfolio Career?
A career path where you balance multiple roles, projects, or income streams instead of focusing on just one full-time job.
Who is it for?
Ideal for creatives, multipotentialites, career changers, professionals seeking flexibility, or those nearing retirement. It allows you to explore different interests, maintain income stability, and diversify your professional life.
When to Start?
Signs you may be ready to cultivate a portfolio career include feeling stagnant in your current role, wanting to explore new interests, or looking to reduce reliance on a single source of income.
Steps to Get Started:
1. Assess your strengths and interests.
2. Make a list of your experiences and skills.
3. Start small with one or two projects.
4. Build relationships and network in your desired fields.
5. Manage your time and energy.
A portfolio career isn’t static; it grows and evolves just like a garden, allowing you to adapt through each season of your professional life.
