The 5 Keys To Pursue The Dream Career That Scares You

Lessons I learned going from a 9-5 to being my own boss.

// THREAD //
1. Define Your Vision & Values

You need to know what is most important to you.

You won't endure obstacles & fear if what you're

pursuing isn't aligned with what matters most to you.

Understand that if you go against your values,

your mind will cause you pain & frustration.
Don't take the handsomely paid corporate job where they

expect you to work 70 hours/week if all you want is to spend

more time with your family at home.

No amount of cash is worth giving up on what you value.

I chose freedom over the (initially) higher-paid 9-5 I had.
2. Accept Short-Term Obstacles

They won't be a problem. You're tough.

You will have to:

- learn new skills
- be unemployed temporarily
- accept some short-term financial sacrifice
- battle family & friends trying to keep you 'safe'

The future pay-off will be well worth it.
3. The Pay-Off

You live in total alignment with your skills and your values.

You do more
You ask more
You create more
You inspire more
You solve problems more.

The value you provide unlocks your earning potential.

Feel AND earn better. That's the goal.
4. No Excuses

Your mind will overestimate the risks you're taking.

You have never done these new things before, so your brain

is working overtime to cause you anxiety, fear, & insecurity.

Most people, at this point, fall into old habits.

Don't be like most people. Persist.

5. The Smooth Transition

Now that you have a plan for your future career,

you're in a position to leverage your current 9-5.

- Play with house money
- Treat it like a paid internship & learn new skills
- Reduce stress levels because still earning money

Be patient, be smart.
The aimless commute to your cubicle is over.

The job no longer controls you.

You are in control of your job.

Use evenings and weekends to go ALL in on your plans.

Persist and you will be able to either find a job you love,

or generate a new revenue stream within months!
