Smooth Career Change: Over 40 | Midlife Professionals | Aspiring Coaches, Speakers, Authors | Entrepreneurs

What if I told you that by changing your thoughts from place of negativity to one of positivity, you could experience a miracle, would you want to know how?

What if I said, you can change your thoughts and have a miracle consisting of the things you have so long desired, would you be interested in knowing how?

Okay, I see the answer is yes on both count. :-)

As you might know, one of the greatest enemies that gets in the way of our best life or our miracle, is our thoughts.

In this episode our guest - Luci McMonagle - tells us how to change our thoughts and get our miracles.

Have you ever heard the term "get off the fence?" Do you recall the picture that was evoked in your mind when you first heard this term?

My thoughts went to a nursery rhyme that I grew up hearing about - Humpty Dumpty. 

Humpty Dumpty was an Egg with hands, eyes, mouth, and legs. He was sitting on a wall and fell. He became a broken egg. There's more to the story but that's the picture that came to my mind when I heard the term "get off the fence."

However in this context, it is used of someone who have been contemplating making a career change decision and have been doing so for quite some time ... in essence, sitting on the fence.

Each year that goes by is one more year of indecision 

Here are four reasons you are still sitting on the fence:

1. TMI: Too much information - information overload
2. Feelings of overwhelm
3. Feeling paralyzed
4. Fear
   1. fear of failure
   2. fear of being found out: imposter syndrome

Here are 3 Critical Keys To Getting Off The Career Change Fence.

1. 1. Know where you want to land
2. 2. Know what to do after you land
3. 3. Know who to help you with your new experiences

Some people's lives are like a bunch of keys hanging on a keystring, weighing them down and adding un-necessary stress to their lives.

These keys suppose to open up different sections of their lives and they have a hard time keeping track of which key opens what part of their lives. They find themselves spinning around wasting valuable time trying to figure it out.

What if they could get one or two or even three master keys to open the various doors to their lives with each key having a very specific label on them?

I think their lives would feel more organized and they would save considerable amount of time trying to figure out what key does what. This would be a game changer for them.

In this episode, our guest - Dr. Jevonnah "Lady J" Ellison, shares how having the right master keys, can catapult your life to heights you never thought possible. She calls it your Maximum Potential.

Have you ever participated in a 21 Day Challenge? What was that like?  Do you recall why you chose to be a part of that particular challenge?

Even though I haven't participated in more than one 21 Day Challenge, I recall what that was like for me.

A few years back, I did a challenge.

I was somewhat skeptical at first. I didn't see myself as a writer. I'm more of a speaker.

However, I took on the challenge along with most of the group members.

Everyday, I would get up at a certain time and the first thing I would do is wash my face then make my way to my computer where I would start the clock and write.

The arrangement was to write for 30 minutes. If you didn't know what to write, just type those words, "I'm sitting here not knowing what to write."

It's amazing what would happen [read more...]

Are you making a six-figure salary? Do you see yourself or could you see yourself making a 6-figure salary at some point? What about within a year?

What if you could find a strategy to do so, would you like to know where to look?

These are just some of the curiosities I had when I learned about our guest and how he made 6-figures within 120 days. This is no small matter. I've never done that, have you?

If you've not, like I haven't, you and I are in for a treat because our guest - Dr. Michael Hudson - is going to share with us the kind of mindset that is required for us to even think about such.

Sometimes when someone dies in their prime years or even before, you may hear these words: he/she had such a bright future ahead of them.

What is being shared is the sadness, the grief, of such a loss. This is especially true if the person had some skills or talents that stood out from the general population.

One such person that comes to mind is Michael Jackson. He had such incredible musical talent. When he died, most people mourned his death because of his age and the incredible impact he had upon the world both within the music industry as well as outside. He was a musical genius in my opinion.

Having a bright future can also be manufactured or created. You can create that for yourself.  

In this episode you'll discover how transitioning smoothly into your dream career - having a smooth career change - can lead to experience six areas of your life that you can enjoy the benefits of a bright future.

One of the experiences of life that I can say I will never have, is that of saying I was or am, a military man. I say that because of my age. I'm too old at least for the military in the United States.

Some may see that as a good thing, others may not. I think it would have been a great experience in so many ways. I could have said I served my country.

So, I know that I cannot speak as an insider who have been in the military and what the transition to civilian life especially to become an Entrepreneur, is like.

That is why our guest - Wally Carmichael - a military man is best suited to share this process with you and I.

The Entrepreneurial mindset is so important if you are going to make a smooth career change. There is something about this mindset that allows you to pursue your dream career at a more rapid, confident and courageous manner.

Whenever the word Entrepreneur is used to describe what we do, if you don't see yourself as Entrepreneurial, you may immediately discount what comes after. Tuning out the information simply because you don't see yourself in that light - the light of an Entrepreneur, could easily rob you of vitally important experiences.

What is an Entrepreneur?

I came across this definition in the Lexicon Financial Times that I thought was so fitting.

Here is what it says:

Entrepreneurial mindset refers to a specific state of mind which orientates human conduct towards entrepreneurial activities and outcomes. Individuals with entrepreneurial mindsets are often drawn to opportunities, innovation and new value creation.

I especially like the last part of the definition given: "... entrepreneurial mindsets are often drawn to opportunities, innovation and new value creation."

Isn't this what you'll need when considering changing your career?

How can changing careers lead to greatness? What is greatness? I would dare say they are many definitions of greatness. Without consulting the dictionary, what would you say it is?

If I was to guess, I would say doing something out of a place of truth that have an impact upon others around you. 

I would dare say it is a relative word. It changes with location.

However, in this episode you'll hear our guest - Natasha Hampton - speak about the topic of greatness even though this is not all that she covered.

What would you say your definition is? Would you say that you're there? Why?

Becoming unstuck in your career can sometimes feel overwhelming. You have thought of so many ways of doing so and have even tried a few of them, but to no avail.

You are at a point where you might not want to hear it one more time that you can become unstuck in your career and actually pursue your dream career.

You may have resigned yourself to your current way of life, which includes staying in your current career even though it depresses you thinking about it. You are comfortable miserable.

Is that you? What if I told you, you don't have to stay this way, would you be open to this possibility? 

In this episode you'll hear how this is possible.
