This evening I was talking to Richie Allen live on Talk Radio Europe about working in a job you really do not enjoy. If you are in this situation there are a few things you can do to change this feeling by starting to be proactive about earning a living – by doing what you love.
- Make a list of what you want in work as opposed to what you don’t want
- Think and brainstorm ways in which you can get into this field or industry
- Speak to experts in the field and trusted friends – there is nothing wrong in asking for direction from trusted sources
- Challenge any negative thoughts you have about making a change
- Think about what you have to gain by taking this step
- Empower yourself to be be brave
- Seek inspiration from people that have made it in this field
- Create a backward plan from your goal till now, think about what you need to know and who you need to speak to at each stage
- Set small achievable goals and take one step at a time
- Celebrate success when you make progress
