Take ten minutes to picture yourself living the Walter Mitty Life Design Model for Serial Specialists. What would be great about it? What would it be missing for you?

Now do the same, for ten minutes, with one of the Umbrella Careers for Serial Specialists:

• Writer
• Teacher
• Historian
• Public Speaker
• Troubleshooter
• Information broker
• Journalist
• Researcher
• Librarian
• Personal Assistant
• Foundation officer
• Your own business
• Consultant
• Business skills

If you are an unsatisfied Serial Specialist, create a Backward Planning Flowchart for moving toward one of these careers.

Write in your Daybook how each of these felt and what great ideas came up while you were daydreaming about them. In a new comment on this page, tell us which ones you tried on and what you discovered about them and about yourself. After you share your experience, read the rest of the comments and reply to a few. Who are the Serial Specialists in this group?
