>> yeah. so many people want to do that. >> that's that. i confess that. >> i've done it myself. do it carefully. it has definitely paid off, but you want to make sure when you look at the career you're in, sometimes it's that maybe you're in an industry that's going down. maybe there aren't opportunities for growth, or you're not using your strengths. so when you leverage your strengths you tend to move ahead more quickly. in a career path that's a struggle, there's something else where you could use your strengths you want to plan that move. >> almost need to have a little check list?
