Become Unhackable with Kary Oberbrunner Happen To Your Career - Meaningful Work, Career Change, & Career Design

    • Careers

Have you ever been so excited about a new project or goal that you’ve set for yourself that you just can’t wait to start?
You sit and visualize yourself going through the motions of the process, checking off all the boxes on your to-do list, and finally you check off that last task, then you bask in the feeling of victory after you’ve achieved your accomplishment.
That entire process, the drive and determination, the movement forward, that feeling of accomplishment…that is what it means to be unhackable.
 
BUT HOW DOES IT APPLY TO MY CAREER? To be unhackable means to close the gap that exists between your ideas and the implementation of your ideas.
It means building yourself up to become an unstoppable force that reaches goals.
Take that philosophy and apply it to the process of your career transition and you become unhackable by eliminating all of the obstacles that stop you from reaching your dream career.
What drives many people to career change is the idea that there is a big potential for something more than what they’ve got going on in their career right now.
But sometimes even people with the strongest mindsets, get hacked.
There are a handful (maybe more than a handful) of things that stop people dead in their tracks as they begin their journey into a new career.
Some begin to feel like imposters as they begin to progress in their career change.
Some self-sabotage and start doubting their potential, then slowly they unintentionally begin to put the brakes on their path to a new career.
But just like computer systems have software that work to prevent getting hacked, there are ways for you to be proactive in becoming unhackable.
In order to get in front of the hacking, we need to identify what is leaving you vulnerable to getting hacked in the first place.
 
WHAT IS STOPPING YOU FROM BECOMING UNHACKABLE IN YOUR CAREER CHANGE?  “The mind is everything. What you think you become.”―Buddha
The most common obstacles that stop a lot of people during their career change are all about their mindset.
Here are the top three things stopping people from becoming unhackable (with some examples):
 
1) Problem: They lack the confidence in their knowledge & skills
They start thinking about themselves in a self-sabotaging ways.
They’ve been imagining that they’re experts in something. That they really don’t have the transferable skills required to follow through on a new career. That they’re really not good enough to make a career change.  
2) Problem: They’re unsure of the direction or focus they want to pursue
They have a lot of interests, a lot of passions, but they’re not sure that their skills really apply to either. They think that working in passions is a myth and that sticking to what they’ve always known and done is a safer bet, than taking a chance on something new. Nothing has worked out for them to this point, that they’re stuck on what’s next.  
3) Problem: They don’t know how to sell yourselves
They doubt the value their skills bring to the table. They don’t know how to effectively market themselves. They’re not “salespeople.” They don’t want to seem pushy. They’re afraid of rejection.  
SO, HOW DO YOU BECOME THAT UNSTOPPABLE, UNHACKABLE FORCE TO SUCCESSFULLY CHANGE CAREERS? “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill
Well, we change your mindset when it comes to your career change.
1. Get out of your own head and stop judging yourself.
2. Refocus your time and energy on your goal.
 
LACKING CONFIDENCE? If you’re struggling with the confidence in your own knowledge and skills in a particular industry, you need to, first, acknowledge that there is a reason you started down the path of career change (and KUDOS to you on that note, because not a lot of people even make it as far as to acknowledge that a change needs to be made).
Remember that you started down this path be
