Have you ever thought “It’s too late for me to change careers or pursue my passion?”
After moving his family several times around the midwest, Jason Holtman landed what he thought was his "dream job” as the assistant athletic director for academic services at a Big Ten school, the University of Wisconsin.
But just a couple of years in, he realized something - he wasn’t happy, and he noticed it was affecting other areas of his life like his health and family relationships.
Jason knew he needed a change in his life, but he was now into his 40s, had a wife, two kids to support and a mortgage to pay.
After spending 20 years in higher education, he was ready for something different.
So Jason decided to take a big risk and pursue a career as a full-time entrepreneur. As a real estate agent, Jason would have no guaranteed income and no benefits.
Still, he made the switch, and he closed an astonishing 36 deals in just his first year as a full-time agent.
Jason said he realized his previous two decades working in academics weren’t a waste, but in fact they gave him what he calls “transferrable skills."
If you’ve ever thought about making a career change, especially when the timing seemingly isn’t right, you’ve got to listen to this episode, as Jason breaks down what he did to make a change that ultimately led to more fulfillment and happiness in his life.
