    10. Solo Episode: 10 Essential Steps To Your Dream Career

    Hey, In this episode I talk about the steps I took when making my first career change in November 2006, it took me a year to convince myself it was the right thing to and make it happen. My former corporate job in banking was lucrative but also stressful, long days and very short weekends . I felt like I hardly ever had time to enjoy the money I was making so what was the point. I knew there was more out there , a better job , a fulfilling career , a great business idea, I wasn't sure what but there had to be more. I didn't want to wake one morning 20 years from then with regrets on what could have been if only I was willing to try.  I faced discouragement from other people but to be honest I was already doing a good job discouraging myself until I decided enough was enough. If anything I have said describes you right now , I want you to know you are not alone and I understand the emotions and self doubt you may be going through. I hope this episode helps you to take the leap and start anyway .  After all, the second best time to start is now so why not.  Did you like this episode , please don't forget to  Subscribe, rate and leave a review on apple podcast.
