Welcome to episode 17 of the Get Work Savvy podcast where we discover how people have found a way to get paid for what they are passionate about.
This week we speak to James and find out how he went from a successful banking career to begin and win awards for his company Clever Cogs.
Key Takeaways
Make the jump when you feel comfortable - Timing is all down to you, some call it fiat, but make sure you are calling the shots, build confidence and make decisions when you feel the time is right!
Solve a problem - If you are lost for what to do, then think about how you can help to solve a problem someone is likely to have, with the skills or knowledge you posses.
Cant be good at everything – James explained how he sacrificed his free time at the start of his journey, but how he realised how important it is to find people who can support your and help you grow. Make sure you don’t forget about you, take time for you to relax and avoid burning out!
Could be worse – don’t let one hurdle bring you down, hurdles will be there to overcome, just think of them as a test to how bad you want to do something. Remember to keep calm and you'll often find a solution.
Set targets - Instead of being overwhelmed by a large mountain to climb, visualise what you want to achieve, reverse engineer how you can get there and set realistic short term goals!
