โMyth 1: ๐๐ค๐ช ๐ข๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฉ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐จ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐
You donโt have to start from scratch! Take a look at your skills and experience and determine what can be transferred into your new career. Of course, there might be gaps, but these can be filled with coursework, certifications, and or on-the-job training.
โMyth 2: ๐๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ง๐ ๐๐ฉ
Nope! Not true! Start saving now + create a budget. If this really something you want to do, you will be ready to make the necessary sacrifices to go after your dreams.
โMyth 3:๐๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐๐ข๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฃ๐๐จ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐จ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช
Having the support of family and friends is nice, but not having their support doesnโt mean you canโt achieve your goals. If you arenโt feeling supported in achieving your goals: Focus on your why + envision your life 5 or 10 years from now. Let that be your inspiration to stay focused on your goals!
โMyth 4: ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐ช๐ง๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ ๐๐จ ๐ช๐จ๐๐ก๐๐จ๐จ
Your current network is a value resource! I always say: you never know who knows someone. Sending a quick message to inform people in your network of your plans can open doors to opportunities you wouldnโt have been able to access otherwise!
โMyth 5: ๐๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐จ ๐ข๐๐๐ฃ๐จ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ชโ๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ช๐ง๐
NO! This is FAR from the truth. Switching careers means that you are committed to your success. Going after a career that aligns with your passion and skills leads to a happier and more productive life!
You deserve to have a rewarding and fulfilling career!
