When I was young, I enjoyed reading books and watching movies about pirates. It seemed that one inevitable part of each of these stories revolved around a treasure map. It was normally written on crumpled parchment paper, tied with a ribbon, and had detailed directions for which island to go to, the landmarks on the island, how many steps to go east from the Palm tree, and directions to dig down 5 feet. When that happened, there was a large chest loaded with pirate treasure: gold coins, silver chalices, and a pile of sparkling diamonds. You were rich!

A good Career Management plan is like that treasure map. It’s a set of directions that leads to huge success. But there are several differences:

• There is no “Treasure Map”. It doesn’t exist. 
• If you find one that you think meets your requirements, you’ll probably be disappointed,
• The simple fact is that a career management plan is something you create for yourself. No one else is going to do it. Some corporations claim that they will do it, but that’s rarely the case Why? Because your goals and aspirations are different from those of the corporations.
