Being a foodie (!), I find food a useful metaphor for portfolio careers……
A portfolio career is also like Tapas or Dim Sum – the enjoyment is partly the varied textures and flavours.
My clients are seeking clarity, fulfilment and sufficient certainty/security for peace of mind.
Especially in uncertain times.
I help them to find clarity on what their unique ‘career recipe’ is and what the ingredients of their ideal portfolio career could be.
A part time job is an ideal ‘staple’ part of a potential portfolio career, just as rice, pasta, bread or potatoes are a staple part of a diet.
Many portfolio careerists like variety, challenge and learning and for them, eating all ‘staple foods’ (one full time job) simply isn’t appetizing.
Too much stodge!
A part time job or retainer is a good portion size of a ‘staple’.
It provides a great springboard to try new additional types of ‘food’ and ‘seasonings’ to make a more tasty career, and start a portfolio career.
