My voracious reading has continued unabated in recent weeks and will easily complete my 2010 goal. I have finished "Paper Tiger" by Tom Coyne, "Losing My Virginity" by Richard Branson (review coming soon) and I am currently reading Chris Evans autobiography "It's not what you think".
The title is apt, because while i was never a fan of his, the book is excellent, one of the best aspects of the book is that each chapter starts with a sometimes humourous, some times serious but always interesting top ten list.
This is Chris Evan's Top 10 Career Move Advice
10. Make sure you really want it in the first place
9. Really make sure you really want it in the first place
8.Think if it's going to help you get to where you want to be next
7. Think where you want to be ultimately and if it will help you get there
6. Imagine if you had achieved it and how it would affect your life as a result
5. Don't consider the financial cost, as long as you can afford to carry on living it's irrelevant
4. Do consider how much of the next few years of your life it will take up and remember you can never get those years back
3. Have an exit strategy
2. Never let your nut rule your gut- ever.... the brain is not all it's cracked up to be
1. For goodness sake, get out there and do something about it!

I never understood the whole, "have an exit strategy" thing. Fair enough if it's about moving jobs, don't sign into working for one company for eternity, but in terms of business, surely if you make a success of the business an exit strategy will develop organically.
ya it's a fair point. I guess what Chris means though, is that if you take a poor paying job for the experience, that you don't forget why you took the job, and don't get stuck there
