Should I put my career change on hold?
If this question has been swirling around your head recently about delaying any change in your career, or even forgetting it all together. Hold on those thoughts my friend.
Be confident in knowing that this is perfectly normal when considering a career change… even outside of a pandemic.
But it’s about understanding why you’re contemplating putting the kibosh on it altogether.
- Is it fear of the unknown?
- Self-sabotaging that you’re not good enough to make a career change?
- Or feeling overwhelmed with where to even begin?
Career changes can be both exciting and daunting. They go hand in hand along with what if’s, maybe’s and but’s.
I’m going to be honest with you…
A successful career change doesn’t happen overnight.
A successful career change takes time, work and commitment to make it happen.
Where you are now is perfect, you can start work behind the scenes on your career change whilst you’re in your current job. Building the foundations and preparing yourself for the future you. The you who wants to work in a job doing what they love, believing in what they do and feeling excited each morning they wake up to work.
This will become your motivation and drive on those tough work days; the inspiration that you’re working towards something great for you and your career.
So here’s the thing, it’s time to get really honest with yourself about what’s going on for you and your career change decisions.
Ask yourself:
- What’s holding you back from doing the work behind the scenes now?
Once your clear on your reasons why, then ask yourself:
- What action can I take to help me make my career change happen?
And then:
- Where do I want to be 6 months from now?
This mini-review is perfect at helping you to figure out what’s going on, what’s holding you back and then how you can move past this.
Anything that you put your heart and mind to can be done.
Stop limiting yourself.
Don’t be afraid to aim high. You can get there with the right mindset.
Your new career is just around the corner my friend.
