Escape the nine to five: how to design your career

You're feeling stuck in the grind of your daily routine.

2024 was the year that things were going to be different–and yet another year has passed.

And little has changed.

You're feeling stuck in the grind of your daily routine.

Work feels repetitive.

And life seems to lack the joy at once had.

What if I told you there was one small thing you could do every day.

Something so simple, so powerful, that it could change everything?

You might be wondering, can something so small really make a difference?

The answer might just surprise you.

You’ve listened to previous episodes of Escape the Nine to Five, and you’re wondering, what on EARTH happened to Steve?

I was JUST starting to enjoy this show and he dropped off the radar.

There’s a reason.

Noticing the majority of my audience were veterinarians, I redirected the podcast, focusing on ONE audience I knew I could serve well.

If you’re ONE of those veterinarians, a medical professional, or just a working professional who wants good, evidence-based career advice, then listen to my NEW show, Next Step Vet.

This week, we're releasing an episode of the Spear and Clover Podcast. You'll recognise the host Jason Skeesick, who was our guest from last week's episode.

I'm sharing this episode, because it fits nicely with our theme, of designing a career to work for you. Jason speaks to Austin Linney about constructing your own life. Jason narrates below:

When you meet someone for the first time you can often tell if they are in momentum on the way up in life, coasting along, or struggling and on the decline. There's just a palpable impression people give off that registers at least subconsciously.

When I met Austin Linney the sense was PERFECTLY CLEAR that here is a man in momentum and on the rise to great heights.

Sure enough, his story is unbelievable. It is full of struggles, addiction, rebirth, helping others, and from the sounds of it... a great deal of success.

If you enjoy a breakthrough come-back story as much as I do you're going to love this episode!

We've all heard the saying: "Follow your passion."

It's easy to say, but what does it even mean? Some people think this is the best advice in the world, others say it's the worst advice you can give to somebody.

But what if you don't think you have a passion you can convert into paid employment?

>> OUR GUEST THIS EPISODE:

Jason is a veteran of the United States army. He went to college, got a finance degree and landed himself a great corporate job. But sitting in a financial meeting, the only person in the room he identified with was the entrepreneur sitting across the table!

He ended up betting it all on his own, starting a gym and eventually helping other entrepreneurs grow their business. He now hosts The Spear and Clover podcast, which is for renegade entrepreneurs who bet it all on their passion. They tell the story about people who saw the world as it could be and couldn't help but take action.

>> WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

1. Why you need to look in the mirror and really understand yourself before you can figure out your own career.
2. How being clear about what your future looks like will make it a lot easier to reach the top of your career mountain.
3. How to find your passion by trying different things - paying attention to the strokes, not the medium.

Have you ever felt trapped in a job and are only doing it because you feel you "should"?

Have you ever been told you "should" get a qualification and "should" get a solid job and "should" buy a house and "should" get married?

Yet people are drowning in college debt, one in three people consider their jobs as meaningless, people come trapped in their jobs to pay mortgages, and last I heard 50% of marriages end in divorce.

Are you sick of being told, this is how you "should" do things? You've gotten into this position because you've always taken the advice of other people. Your parents probably told you to get some training behind you, get a solid job, maybe even a mortgage, and then you'll be happy.

Join host Steve Oehley as he talks to Clare Mann about the myths we tell ourselves, that hold us back.

>> JOIN THE COMMUNITY:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/escapetheninetofivepod

>> OUR GUEST THIS EPISODE:

Clare Mann is a banker turned organisational psychologist. She unpacks the myths we tell ourselves we "should" do, teaching you how to get rid of the myths we tell ourselves and do things we actually want to.

Links: https://linktr.ee/clare_mann

>> WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

1 How to spend more time doing things you actually want to.

2 How to get rid of the excuses we tell ourselves when we dare to change.

3 How to listen to your own voice.

>> TAKE HOME CHALLENGE: TIME SPEND.

Grab a big sheet of paper and write down exactly how you're spending your 168 hours per week. Cross out all the things you do only because you think you "should" or someone else has told you you "should". Replace these with things you want to do, including allowing time DAILY for at least 30 minutes of exercise and at least 15 minutes of meditation. I guarantee this will not only make you feel happier, but help with decision making down the road when you've got a healthier and clearer mind.
