Mistakes to Avoid When Making a Career Change
Struggling in your current job? Have you looked
for career change advice in all the traditional places –
career counselors, business magazines, trade journals and
are still stuck in a job you hate? Below is an easy process
to get you moving forward.
How Unhappy are You on a Scale of 1-10?
Most people need to encounter significant dissatisfaction
and pain in order to step outside of their comfort zone and
make changes. What is your level of satisfaction? On a scale
of 1-10 with 1 being "I can barely get out of bed in the
morning" and 10 being "I would do this work for free", what
is your level of satisfaction with your current work
situation?
Do I Hate the Work Itself?
If you are doing your right work, you will get energy
from your work. Helping people break free from the corporate
world gives me energy. I get off our Fearless Action Group
calls with more energy than when I started the call. I know
I have found my right work.
To choose work that is aligned with your true nature and
calling, you must know who you are. This includes an honest
evaluation of your skills and aptitude. What work do you
perform naturally and effortlessly? Also, you must know what
you value and what your life purpose is.
If your work is in alignment with your natural abilities,
values, and purpose but you are still not happy, then you
need to look at your work environment.
 Finding
a job you love and enjoy can be tough if you are going
through the process alone. The answers you are seeking
can also be delayed (sometimes taking years) if you do not
have courage, clarity, and a plan of attack.
All
valid questions to ask, but what happens in many cases is
we can’t seem to answer these questions by ourselves so
we get overwhelmed and then stop looking for the answers.
This is a recipe for disaster. Your career will not get
better until you make it better, and making a job change
involves your participation. Hate

Do I Hate the Corporate World?
Many of my clients are unhappy in their current jobs
because they don’t fit into the corporate world. Every
company has a unique corporate culture. You may enjoy your
work and find it gives you lots of energy, but you are not
thriving in your current company.
I help my clients to diagnose their company culture and
determine whether or not they fit into this culture.
Corporate culture is a powerful and invisible force. The
more that you understand how culture influences you and
those around you, the better you will be at making informed
decisions about your career.
Are you better suited to work on your own or to build a
company with an un-corporate culture?
If your current level of dissatisfaction is high and you
hate the work you do, then start paying attention to what
you enjoy doing. Don’t think, “I could never make money
doing this.” You’ll be surprised to learn what is possible
with the right intentions. If you love your work but hate
the corporate world, then put together a plan to build your
own business.
Solid Career Change Advice
The best career change advice that you can get will show
you how to look inside for your own answers. You know what
your perfect career is, you just need to discover the answer
inside of you. Skills assessments, resume writing, interview
coaching, and the like will not lead you down a path to
happiness. Changing careers takes courage, inspiration, and
a solid plan. Life is too short to waste it doing work you
hate.
