and that you should be doing if you feel
that you're on the wrong career path

this is what you're looking for

in i can walk you through my free online

at the end of this video so if you've
been feeling stuck in your career and
you have been wondering is this the
right path for me am i on the wrong path
what do i do next then like i said
today's video is for you i want to walk
you through
four key tips that you need to
process and think about in order to
decide whether
this really is the wrong path for you
and what you should be doing about it
next
tip number one is to get raw and real
with yourself
what i mean here is you need to be
completely honest with yourself and you
need to ask yourself
why is this the wrong job for me in
order to
know what's going on you need to
proactively gain clarity
so you need to ask yourself is it the
job duties
is it my work environment is it the
people that i'm working with
is it the structure of my workday what
is it that
is truly bugging me bothering me
annoying me irritating me
about this job that i'm in so for
example if it's the job duties the
things that you're doing the tasks that
you're doing on a day-to-day basis that
are really annoying you
that are frustrating you that you don't
enjoy then it means
you need to be doing different kind of
work you need to be doing different
types of tasks
and that means you need to be able to
find a different job
that encompasses the tasks that you
would actually enjoy
on the other hand if it's the people
that are really annoying you and it's
not the job itself
then you need to ask yourself am i okay
to put up with these individuals
are there different ways for me to deal
with these individuals
that i can overcome this feeling that i
have
or do i really need to leave this
company all together
so that i can get away from these toxic
individuals by the way if you want to
learn about how to deal with toxic
individuals i have a video on that
as well the link will be down below that
you can also look into
and another reason could be the
structure of your work day if you're not
enjoying the nine to five especially now
that we're all having to work from home
for the most part
if you're not enjoying nine to five and
you really want to be able to work your
own flexible hours then perhaps
you're not meant to work a corporate job
and maybe that means that you should be
a freelancer
or you should start your own business or
be some sort of consultant
so you need to start thinking about that
if that is what is truly bugging you i
know for me for example when i was
working a corporate job i did not enjoy
the nine to five
and i knew that i wanted to do something
where i could schedule my own hours
and i could work fewer hours than a full
nine to five every single day
and i was able to do that by starting my
own business
so you want to reflect about those
things for yourself and ask yourself
if this is the type of structure that
you want to have
every day tip number two is to see
feel and taste your ideal job
work or career this is where you utilize
the power of
visualization so the power visualization
means that you're going to
visualize what your ideal job your
ideal day looks like in a career
that you truly would enjoy so you want
to start thinking about
what it is that you're going to be doing
what is your job title even if you don't
really know
exactly the job title but you kind of
want to get an idea for what that would
be
and you just want to start visualizing
for yourself how you would
feel every single day if you were doing
the type of work that you're imagining
for yourself
so for example the hours do you
see yourself working a strict
nine-to-five type of job or do you
see yourself being more flexible being
able to schedule your own
hours or when it comes to the people do
you see yourself working with
a huge team or do you see yourself
working mostly alone
you want to think about all these
different aspects when it comes to
visualizing your ideal job and if this
ideal job that you're visualizing for
yourself
is very drastically different from the
job that you currently have
then that is a clue that perhaps the
path that you're on right now
isn't the right path for you and that
it's time for you to switch
over into the path that you want to go
into tip number three
start scoping so now that you have a bit
of an idea as
to the type of job that you would like
to do and if you know that it is
different
from the job that you currently have
then it's time for you to start poking
around and looking to see
what jobs what opportunities are there
out there
that would be much more aligned to what
it is that you want to do
that means going on job boards like
indeed.com
or linkedin jobs to find different
positions
that are closely aligned to the position
that you want now if you plan to apply
for these jobs you definitely want to
make sure that you have a very strong
attractive resume
and that you'll prepare yourself for the
interviews
well before the interviews happen so if
you need help in that area
definitely check out my resume mastery
workshop which is completely free
the link is down below as well as my
interview strategy workshop which will
help you to be more confident in
interviews the link is also down below
the only way you can start to feel
better about the situation that you're
in
if you feel that you are on the wrong
path with your current career
is to start exploring what else you
could be doing
what else is out there because then that
gives you hope
that gives you the sense of enthusiasm
and excitement that you need
in order to get yourself back on track
so that you can be heading in the
direction that you do want to go
and finally tip number four is to have
an end game
so you want to have an end date in mind
for when you plan to quit
now that you've realized if you've
realized that you're in the wrong job
okay so that's what i had to do i had to
recognize
what month what week i could quit
because i knew that i had certain
payments that still had to come in
bonuses and things like that that i was
still owed and i wanted to make sure i
received all of that
before i left so you want to settle up
everything you want to plan everything
out and know
in your mind what date you plan to quit
what date you plan to hand in your
resignation letter
so when you have an end game and end
date in mind
it just motivates you even further to do
all the things that you need to do
to get yourself out of the situation
that you're in and into
a job a career path that is more aligned
to you

tips to help you if you feel that you're
