If you've listened to the podcast for a while, you know one of my most common pieces of career change advice is to figure out what you WANT out of your career. But, for most of us, figuring out what we want can be difficult. We spend so much of our professional lives doing what we NEED to do, that we often lose sight of what we WANT to do. Or, we assume that if we enjoy something too much, it must not be possible to do it for a living. (Not true!) Learn how Chris combined his love of cars and hobby of helping people search for vehicles into a new career path.

What you'll learn

• How to identify what you truly want from your job in order to truly find career happiness
• Why it's important to focus on what you want, in order to land your ideal role

As human beings, when we get stuck, we tend to focus on one thing that we latch onto as the “reason” why. Or one thing that if we could only do, it would solve all of our problems. 

It’s never just one thing. It’s always more nuanced than that. 

There is one thing that is very clear though, The reasons why you think you’re stuck and the reasons why you’re actually stuck, are two completely different things.

Have you ever heard of career coaches use a ranking system for career change difficulty?

As the difficulty goes up, these career coaches would have you believe it’s impossible… except it’s not. I’ve talked to career experts and career coaches that will try to talk you out of it. 

It’s difficult to imagine how career changes actually work without starting over if you’ve never done it yourself. 

We’re revealing the 4 most common ways that people change careers (without starting over).

Are your skills transferable to your dream career?

Many people don’t believe that their skills can apply to the career they are desiring to move into. People tend to put their skills and experience into boxes and can’t see how the skills of one box can apply to another box.

The truth, though, is that most of your skills and experience CAN transfer, even if you don’t yet know what your dream career is. 

We’ve developed an entire process to do this. Want to know how?

Wondering if you have to choose between another degree and staying in the comfortably-miserable job you’re in right now?

There’s a third option: A more unconventional way to get unstuck without starting over from the bottom.

It uses the experience you have in your career while allowing you to find a role that you love. What is this unconventional approach? 

Listen to the first episode in our 4 part series: How to Get Unstuck (Without Starting Over) to find out.

Everyone has a network. And here's a secret… Almost everyone thinks their network isn't big or strong enough to help them land their ideal role. Not true! Studies have shown that it's not the people closest to us who are the really powerful part of our network,it's the "weak ties" (the friends of friends) who truly matter for making things happen. Surprised? Confused? On this week's podcast, Scott chats with Tanya Malcolm Revell who used the friends of friends in her network to land her ideal role.

What You'll Learn

• Why your network should be tapped into to unlock your ideal role.
• How to identify your weak ties and discover the power of those acquaintances
• How to maximize your network to get your ideal role.
