The economy has changed drastically in 2020. Many people are forced to reinvent themselves and their careers.

There are two ways you can look at this: As a blessing or a curse. I always decide to look at these things as a blessing. When we’re forced to make a change, we can decide to go with it or fight with it. Often, good things come out of these types of situations.

If you’re forced to rethink your career, you actually take the time to create a strategy. Most of us live our lives on automatic pilot. We hardly ever take the time to think about our career choices.

In this article, I will share 3 questions I’ve learned from Peter F. Drucker. These ideas have been tried and tested. And most of all; they will force you to think deeply.

1. What are my strengths?

This might seem obvious, but many professionals still fall for the trap of concentrating on their weaknesses. Sometimes, it’s an unconscious habit. Sometimes it’s the influence of superiors, co-workers and even family members.

But you have to keep in mind that the economy is highly competitive. To have a good career, one must be excellent. So why not focus on something you’re already good at?
