      INTRODUCTION

      The part of our life that is devoted to our career is generally considered the most significant part of all, since it accounts - both directly and indirectly – for a major part of our time; it consumes more than half of our conscious day while also weaving its threads to form the features and details of the rest of our lives and the lives of our family members: socially, culturally, educationally, materially, and so on.

      Whether you are an employee with an income that is insufficient to cover the basic needs of daily life, the Chief Executive of a distinguished multinational company or conglomerate, the owner of a private business or an individual at any position on the career ladder: in this age of knowledge and globalization, your professional status is no longer inherited, nor is it restricted to luck. It is you who determines your path in this life!

      You can decide how and where you want to be; at which career level or position. You can decide to have your own business; you can achieve what you want! In today's world, you do not have to wait for gold to rain from the sky, or to find a magic lamp to rub for your dreams to come true. All you need is an ambitious, effective and realistic strategy for life, and the determination to execute your plans!

      Thus, it is essential for you to be cautious in planning your professional career, as this planning will directly affect all other aspects of your life and the lives of your family members!

      Ambitious, realistic and professional career planning will help you obtain success, happiness and stability in your career, your social life, your family life and your life in general. As we say - what is life but a single chain of interlinking rings!

      This book aims to provide you with the methods and practical approaches you need to plan your career path in a professional and realistic way.

      In the first part of this book, we will discuss the meaning and importance of career planning. We will then explain the career development model that showcases the ideal path for career development, starting from an individual’s entrance into the business world and finishing with their arrival at the top of the career pyramid. Furthermore, we will discuss the importance of identifying our career goal. When should we identify it? How do we identify it and what are the factors and considerations that affect it? Finally, we will move to a simplified, practical explanation of the six steps that make up career planning methodology. You can use these steps to shape the path and details of your life such that you achieve your desired career goal.
