Making a career change is hard

I received a few replies to my last email. They were raw and very, very honest. I deeply appreciate you guys for sharing your truths.

I have so many things planned for the next couple of months. Plans for daily email writing. Plans for revamping the website. I still wonder if I’m biting off more than I can chew, working on these things while getting ready for a move to Florida.

Roughly half of the house is packed away. This coming Monday, the rest of it will be gone. The following Monday, I will be packing a few boxes of pots and pans, a suitcase of summer clothes, and my cat’s things into the car.

And then off I go to start a new life.

We believe that making a career change is hard. We hear the word “hard” and it’s as if a curse has been released. A barrier is immediately created, and it stops us from making any kind of forward movement.

I want to spend a bit of time exploring this subject. Why do we believe that a career change is hard? And why, specifically, do we almost never hear that making a career change is “easy”?

I have a few articles saved in one of my bookmark folders that might be fun to dig into as a starting point. Stay tuned. :)
