1. Stop making excuses

• Another way I could say this is to pay attention
  to your limiting beliefs. What are those, you
  ask? Theyre the lens through which you see the
  worldthe feelings you have about your
  circumstances, and they influence the action that
  you opt to take... After all, if you think a job
  is out of your league, why would you apply for
  it? Thats a limiting belief I come across often
  in my line of work!I hear others all the time
  from clients I want to pursue more fulfilling
  work, but I could never afford the pay cut.
• I cant help but reply to them Are you sure you
  couldnt afford a temporary pay cut? Are you sure
  there even would be a pay cut?
• Or Ill hear something like I hate my job, but I
  dont have any other skills. Let me tell you
  somethingtheres a fundamental difference
  between schooling and education. Just because you
  were not schooled in a skillset does not mean you
  havent experienced an education via life
  experience I get itits a tough spot when you
  feel stuck in your career. But all too often we
  sell ourselves short by making excuses (also
  known as buying into limiting beliefs). Take it
  from this career coach who was, in my former
  career, an intelligence agent and aspiring
  international spyanything is possible.

2. Believe that you can achieve it

• You have to believe that a trifecta career is
  available to you. After all, if you dont believe
  in it, who will? I say this to clients all the
  time when they doubt themselves, especially when
  were prepping for an interview. Your goal in an
  interview is to go in there and convince the
  interviewers that youre more than capable of
  doing the job and that youre the best candidate
  for the position. If you dont fully believe it,
  how on earth do you expect them to buy in? The
  same rings true for your career aspirations. If
  you want something but think its too far-fetched
  or impossible, youre not in the right mindset to
  actually make it happen.

3. Get clarity on what you really want to do

• What would you do with your time if money wasnt
  a factor? Whose career are you completely jealous
  of? I made a guide to help you figure out what
  your passion is and what it is that youre really
  good atyour core values are key. And dont just
  think about itactively go out and seek the
  answers. Far too often I find clients marinating
  versus engaging in some sort of action Go to
  networking events and ask people to explain their
  jobs to you. Peruse LinkedIn and find people
  whose careers you admire. So often, we get so
  caught up at jobs we stay at just to pay the
  bills, or because we feel certain pressures to
  follow a certain path, that we lose sight of what
  we really want to do and what were really good
  at.

4. Conquer your fear

• Its normal to be apprehensive about the
  potential risks of changing jobs. We all worry
  about the uncertainty that comes with finding a
  new job, much of it centered on financial
  aspects. And it makes sense, because salary is a
  huge part of our career motivations 65 of
  respondents in one survey reported that higher
  salary was their main motivation for leaving
  their last job.
• I get itwe all have bills to pay, and when
  youre already bringing in a good salary, its
  easy to get complacent and comfortable.But whats
  the point if youre miserable and not doing work
  that means something to you? So many of us stay
  in jobs just for the salary, but thats a trend I
  believe is shifting in a recent survey, 78 of
  respondents said that enjoying their work is more
  important than their salary.

5. Put a plan into place

• Once youve gotten clear on what it is that you
  love to do and what sort of career you want to
  pursue, start planning. This will likely involve
  consulting with various professionals along the
  wayindividuals in that line of work, mentors,
  and coaches. But having a clear cut plan in place
  will help allay many of the worries that you have
  about pursuing your dream.
• The trifecta career is available to all of us if
  were willing to put in the work to find it. Go
  for it. Kick your excuses out the back door.
  Believe in yourself. Figure out your passion.
  Stop letting your fear paralyze you. Put your
  plan into place. And dont be afraid to fail.
  Nothing is for certain, but as long as you learn
  from possible setbacks and stay your course,
  youll find it the job that allows you to
  showcase who you truly are, supports you
  financially, and fulfills you.
• You deserve it.
