- If you're feeling burned out in your current career,
if you want to earn more money, have more free time,
or are curious about doing something else,
especially something you love,
then changing careers could be one of the best decisions
you could make for yourself.
What are the benefits of a career change?
Well, it's an opportunity to stay relevant.
It allows you to be happier and more satisfied.
It allows you to, often, find your purpose.
You can often earn more money, have more free time,
and if you're really lucky,
you'll find a new career where you can stretch yourself,
learn, grow, maybe even make a difference.
So how can you change your career successfully?
First, be very clear about what you want.
Having a clear idea of what's important to you is crucial
in helping you find the right fit
when you decide to change careers.
Perform a work assessment.
Use your core skills, your experience to identify:
What are your skills? What are your strengths?
What are your areas of expertise? What do you love?
What makes your heart sing? What do you really enjoy doing?
And, remember, we're so lucky on YouTube, everywhere,
there are free classes, or paid classes too,
where you can upgrade your skills and learn new skills.
I believe that anything new that you want to do
requires you to learn something.
For instance, if you want to write a book like I do,
it isn't enough to just write a book.
You need to do SEO, search engine optimization,
to find out which titles are selling,
what people are looking for.
And also, if you want to write a best-selling book,
you have to learn speaking skills.
You've got to go on stage, do book signings,
do YouTube videos, talk about your career.
If you want to sell, you now have to learn marketing.
But it's exciting to have a second skill,
to upgrade your skills, to learn more.
Do your homework.
Don't look at a new thing and think, "Oh, that's so easy."
Don't look at it through rose-tinted glasses.
People who are good at what they do
make it look incredibly easy.
It isn't always easy.
So do some research, try to gain some practical experiences
for the job you're aiming for,
and make sure it's right for you and you are right for it.
And network with those in your targeted career,
meet other people, get the low down
on what this job is really like,
and be practical. There's some careers,
like starting a restaurant,
you may not make a profit for three or four years.
So if you're doing a start-up, starting your own business,
make sure you have some funding behind you.
Make sure you're ready,
that you can actually afford to do that.
You may want to still work part-time.
If you're looking for investors,
don't start your business without those investors.
Get everything lined up, ready, and be practical.
People overestimate what they can do in a year,
and it often takes longer.
Like, let's say, you're writing a book. It'll take a year to write a book,
but it takes another year,
especially if you're using a publishing house,
it takes at least a year from signing your advance
to having that book published.
So do the math, work out the timing.
Don't underestimate,
overestimate how long it will take you.
And if you have things like a mortgage and commitments,
really make sure you can still pay those.
You've heard that expression, "You're losing your shirt,"
don't lose your home or your utilities.
Just be ready, be aware,
and be prepared to do two jobs
rather than walk away from a job,
start a business without any plans
for how you are going to pay your bills
and cover your essential outgoings,
and consider all your options.
If you don't have a specific targeted career
but you're just looking to do something different,
don't limit yourself.
Step outside the box.
Think of things that make your heart sing.
Really expand your mind.
You see, your potential expands the minute you move toward it,
and then it expands again and then it expands again.
Once your mind moves to a new dimension,
it doesn't ever go back again.
And that's a great thing.
If you are looking for a career
where you can help other people,
where you can work from anywhere,
including your kitchen table,
where you can really make a difference,
do something that is a vocation, choose your own hours,
set your own salary,
consider training to be a Rapid Transformational therapist
or a Rapid Transformational coach.
Here is something else to consider,
there are very few careers in the world
that meet all your needs.
We have about nine needs that we take
into our chosen career.
It's hard to meet them all.
They are certainty, diversity, connection, significance,
growth, contribution, making a difference, purpose, meaning.
And as an RTT® therapist or an RTT® coach,
you will always have certainty
you're doing something amazing.
You'll have diversity because every client
and every day is different.
You have connection because you're changing people's lives.
You have significance for that very same reason.
You can have a career that has meaning,
you live your life with purpose,
you make a difference to other people's lives,
you're contributing every day and growing as a person,
because you cannot possibly change other people's lives
the way we do without changing your own.
If you want to have a career that meets
all of those nine needs all the time, click the link below.
I can't wait for you to join one of our classes
to be an RTT® therapist or an RTC® coach.
See you soon.
