- My fear & regrets..
Happy November! 🎆
I reflect on why I delayed changing careers.
Biggest reason?
Fear of the unknown. Thinking I had to ‘finish’ my training first, and hearing some of the unhelpful narratives that you’ll get treated badly & end up unemployed in the private sector.
How did overcome that?
I spent more and more time with people actually doing what I wanted to do.
This ultimately changed my mindset, beliefs and encouraged behaviours that led to finding opportunities that were great for me!
What do I regret?
Not doing it sooner - delays led to missed opportunities, reduced overall income because I spent more time in a lower paid role compared to what I could be doing, and the biggest one - the cost of my happiness & wellbeing.
Are you delaying taking action out of fear?
Are you living a life / career you’ll regret?
