How do you find out exactly what company is right for you? And how do you know for sure? How do you find open positions without Indeed? Find out here.
MISTAKE #4: GOING IT ALONE
People around you know that you hate your job.
And if I were to ask them what you want to do, could they answer me?
Or have you been trying to do this alone?
You might be feeling exhausted by the end of the workday like you just want to put on something comfy, sit on the couch, and watch TV.
This really helps all those thoughts about work go away…
…well for a little while at least.
Yet, if no one knows you need help, they can’t help you.
HOW TO FIX THIS
Hire an Expert
You need to figure out what you are good at. And how to get more of that in your life.
You also need to make sure that you can pay the bills.
Plus, it would be pretty cool to be able to go on a real vacation at some point soon in your life.
And that is what coaches help you to do. Coaches help you get clear on what it is you really want out of life and how to stop being so stuck.
YOUR MISSION
Answer these, True or False?
1. My life would be better if I was in a different job.
2. I know I need to change, but I keep getting stuck.
3. I’m too tired to find a new job.
4. I’m meant for more than this in my life.
Get any true’s?
How does it feel to answer these questions?
FEAR ALERT
If you feel fear whispering (or yelling) at you about getting help, why do you think that is?
What does it mean to you to get help with something?
If your close friend was in the exact same position that you are in right now, and she said she needed help from a coach to feel better, would you shame her?
Or cheer her on?
Do that for yourself.
