#161 Career Change Is Not Supposed To Be Easy

 In today’s episode of the ‘Career Change Maker’ podcast, I talk about the fact that Career Change is not supposed to be easy.

I am interested to talk about this topic because oftentimes when we want to move towards our goal, we can be prevented from moving forward as it feels too hard.

Episode Highlights:
·       01:44 – I want to share with you the backstory because I think it would be useful for us and also inspiring.

·       03:55 - Lots of people have writing books on their bucket list. They say one day, I'd love to write a book.

·       06:10 - The first time that you do anything, it's going to be hard.

·       08:35 – It’s you who got to decide that am I going to stay where I am or am I going to make a decision that I'm going to try and do something different.

·       10:25 – Recognize that when you do hard things, you get good at doing hard things. So, you can do harder things and achieve bigger goals and go for what it is that you want.

·       12:50 - The program is designed to not just make a decision but it lets walk you through a step-by-step process so that when you make your decision, you know that it's the right one.

·       16:45 – There are ways that you can position yourself and make sure that you know how to negotiate correctly so that doesn't have to be the case for you.

·       18:05 - I created the ‘Career Change Maker’ program and a Career Change Making Method because it pains me to see so many amazing, and talented women fall into the category of coasting female professionals.

·       19:20 - If you like the sound of becoming a Career Change Maker then I invite you to make an application for this program.

What you will learn:

1. The first time you do anything, it is always difficult. But the more and more you do that thing, the easier it gets, because you stretch your ability, you adapt, and then you grow. So, it’s the same principle when it comes to making a move in your career. On your first day at work, you feel nervous but gradually you adapt to the environment.
2. Taking steps now, whatever it is you're considering is going to impact what happens later on down the line for you and your career. The decisions that you make and the opportunities that are open to you, if you are thinking about taking the plunge or making a move transitioning right now, then do it.
3.  If you don't know what to do, let's figure out what you should be doing. Let's not just stop there, and just say, well, it's just too hard to figure out because the reality of it is you're going to have to revisit that conversation. If you're just parking it all the time and saying I'll come back to it, you're not making any progress.
