10 tips to support you in following through with your career change

Many people dream of a career change but few successfully make the transition. It can be a scary journey to make and people tend to give up along the way. But your life’s potential can never be fully explored and enjoyed until you´re in the right role.

I´ve listed some tips that can help you push through. It´s not easy but it´s extremely rewarding on the other side.

1. Enduring an unfulfilling career can lead to serious illness, both physically and mentally, if you’re not careful. Accepting and pursuing your purpose energises you and brings health AND prosperity to your life.

2. Following advice from others tends to be inauthentic to YOU. Listen to your intuition and let it guide you. It is your most accurate compass.

3. Limiting yourself to lateral moves in your career and cutting off the massive change that is trying to happen will only provide temporary relief. Go ‘all in’. Life will keep sending curve balls your way till you get it right.

4. Over-stressing about money robs precious energy from your life. When you accept your purpose, you will be taken care of.

5. Getting too attached to titles, money, and recognition, provides nothing in the long term, simply a short-lived dopamine effect. What brings true long-lasting happiness is knowing that your strengths and passions are positively influencing others.

6. If you recognise that you’re staying in a career or a role for the approval and validation of another person, work on the relationship with that person. The people pleaser in you can determine whether you follow through with your new venture or not.

7. Don’t be afraid to let go of relationships that do not align with your new path. New and better relationships will present themselves.

8. Family and friends might discourage you from making the change because they want you to be safe and because they could never do it themselves. Accept their love but keep moving forward. Don’t waste your energy trying to prove yourself, show them instead.

9. If you’re feeling impatient, take a pause and remember that you will be presented with the next step when you are ready. Pausing will allow you to clearly see the way forward.

10. Resisting the changes presenting themselves will draw out the struggle. Once you allow for the change to happen, other areas in your life will fall into place. What we resist, persists.

In short, resist less, be open to change, trust your gut and see your world get knocked off its feet and thrown into a new, more magical existence.

It’s never too late to re-write your life.
