It has become ingrained in our culture that we need to “Follow Your Bliss” and “Do What You Love” and all sorts of other platitudes. Don’t forget that you have to have your Dream Job. And yeah - I believe that you 100% should do the things that bring you joy and that light your fire and yeah, that you’re passionate about. But I do NOT agree that you need to make your passion your source of income.
How to recover from losing your job. "I lost my job" are some of the most dreaded words in any language. We’ve all been there. The start-up shuttered. You got yourself fired. Or it was just an out and out unexplained termination. Job loss happens. It can send you into a tailspin. But it also means that you have an opportunity to get another job. A better job. A job you really want.
I believe that it is absolutely necessary to tap into your creativity if you are even considering a career change.
Career changes come about for several different types of reasons but they all have the same outcome - you have to pivot into something different than what you are doing now. While a lot of people find that terrifying, I see it as the ultimate opportunity to do something that makes you truly happy. It’s the chance to do something that fulfills you in a way your old job didn’t.
You know that feeling you've got right now? That "Totally lost, I'm stuck, WTF am I even supposed to do with my career. Can't someone just tell me what I'm supposed to be doing?!?" feeling? Man, it sucks, doesn't it? I know that feeling. I've been through two major career shifts of my own and have since helped hundreds of clients, just like you, figure out WTF they want to do and how to get there.
So, no you don't have to do it alone. Promise. However, only you can know what's right for you. Let me show you how.
