The obstacles you overcome
Ten
irreverent, light-hearted tips for time management during
a life transition
A life
transition calls for a new concept of time. You no longer
have the luxury of waiting to clear the deck so you can focus
on your new goal. You've moved to fantasyland when you say,
"I'll begin planning my transition next month, when I
have more time."
No
time? Put more life in your life
When people want to move to career freedom, often they don't
want a new career at all. They love their career -- but they
also want a life, too.
"Sorry,
coach, I have a headache!"
We've all had moments when we feel we're just to tired to
work on that article or resume or special report.
How
do I follow a rainbow when there's no pot of gold in sight?
"My vision of career freedom doesn't pay enough to live
on, but I really want to do it."
Don't
let wet blankets smother your dreams: turn them into comfort
quilts
You've embarked on a major career transition and your enthusiasm
is growing. Just when you get a small fire going, someone
comes along with a heavy wet blanket.
Talk
your way to financial freedom
Feeling trapped by lack of funds? We can learn from those
who live comfortably and retire early. They use language differently
from those who are stuck in a scarcity process.
Don't
overdrive your headlights
As a die-hard New Yorker, I learned to drive after I moved
west as an elderly twenty-one-year-old. Night driving was
a special challenge and the instructor reminded me, "Don't
drive past your headlights."
Are
you 3F? Overcoming three major blocks to career freedom
Overcoming obstacles to career change and life transition:
time, money and confidence
Loneliness
of the Long-Distance Transitioner
Loneliness is a taboo topic. We are taught, "If you're
lonely, it's your own fault." Needless to say, I disagree.
Before
you leap, create a safety net
Career freedom-seekers often ask: "Should I give up my
job and move to Montana?" Or, "Should I quit my
job to start a business?"
