Are you happy really happy in your career? Feeling fulfilled? If so, I’m delighted for you.
The reality is many people aren’t. They are the ones who get the Sunday blues, that can ruin an otherwise great weekend.
Many people dream of changing careers or even going self-employed. Some like me, want to do both.
It’s a scary thought though, full of self-doubt, insecurity and anxiety.
Yet it is possible.
In today’s episode I talk to one person who has done just that and not just lived to tell the tale, but is thriving with it.
Matt Wilkinson, is a strategic marketeer and the founder of Strivenn (https://strivenn.com/) you can connect with him on LinkedIn
We talk about how we measure success, the importance of values to help sustain us. We also talk about the difference between need and wants and how to make the leap of faith while minimising the risk and assessing our risk tolerance.
We also talk about I/R theory and the importance of creating the Chinese wall between the two components.
Matt shares a very simple technique he uses daily to keep his self-esteem high and to manage his stress levels even now he's successfully made the career transition.
We also talk about the influence of a 2,000 year old philosophy and how that can support us as we make the career transition.
Our mission is to help people develop their mental fitness so they can achieve more than they thought themselves capable of.
