Are you feeling like your career is going nowhere? Every day feels the same: the monotony, the lack of progress, the dreams of what 'could be' slipping further away with each passing Monday. You're not just unsatisfied, you're beginning to doubt if change is even possible for you.

But what if there's a simple and proven way to break free from the cycle–a key that successful people have been using, yet it's rarely talked about in the conventional career advice you hear? Picture yourself working towards your dream career and escaping the nine to five grind–without having to sacrifice everything you've built so far in your working professional life.

In this episode you're going to find out.

We all have embarrassing moments etched in our memories. That time everyone laughed at us in primary school. That rejection in high school. That night we got drunk at college and humiliated ourselves. But how many embarrassing moments do you remember in your life not involving you? And why is this relevant to your career?

In this week's Thought of the Day, you're going to find out.

 What makes for a meaningful career and who are these people achieving it? How have people escaped the 9 to 5 with a smile on their face ad how have they done it? My life's mission is to help working professionals like you take the next steps in their professional lives and design a career that works for you. Having interviewed some of the most interesting career changes on the planet, top career coaches, and also diving into the career research, there are simple, proven strategies to make change in your career.

This week I spoke with Taylor Sleaford.

He went to college and couldn't get a job in his field–fast forward a few years and he'd gotten an internship at a prestigious university and then was offered a job at an even more respected university only to turn it down. The recruiter was so offended, she hung up the phone. His career then got even worse as a business analyst until he finally found his calling.

You'll learn:

1. Why school doesn't set you up for a successful career
2. A mindset shift that will change your perspective about work

And I'll give you three tips to help you transform your career.

You're paralysed. Paralysed by the fear of making the wrong choice: the wrong location, the wrong job, the wrong career. If you're in a 9 to 5 job that's not a fit for you, it's natural to fear changing careers.
