Three career changing paths

[snoop1130]

 

So, you’ve made up your mind! You want to quit your lame job and start pursuing what you really love and are passionate about. But it is a bit scary to make the leap. You’ve told yourself that it’s going to be alright, but until you make sure that your new passion will start bringing you a stable and consistent source of income, there is always the tendency to just stay where you are… because it’s stable and secure. But guess what? Life itself is unstable and insecure. I mean, could you guarantee me right now that you will be here tomorrow, on planet earth, living your life and doing what you do?

 

I personally, don’t like security too much! But that also doesn’t mean that I take decisions on impulse. I do, in fact, think well about all the decisions that I take in my life, especially the life changing ones. Before taking my new career path, I research to understand how I would transition myself from one career to another. And so, allow me to share my findings with you, in hope that you could also make use of them, as I profoundly have.

 

First, you should know that there is no one single path that everyone could take. According to your current situation, at your job and in life, and based on your character, you will choose the path that fits you best. I have found that there are 3 effective ways to change your career. But before we get into that, let me tell help explain to you the importance of time.

 

You need to know that in order to be successful, all you need is focus and time. The former is pretty obvious, but what about time? I’ll tell you: you will need to dedicate 20 hours each week for the best career transition results. That means that, if you have a stable job that requires you to work 45 hours per week, your total working hours will rise up to 65.

 

But in order to understand whether you can do that while keeping your current job, let’s carefully examine the hours you spend weekly doing your different activities:

 

If, an average person sleeps 8 hours per day, that adds up to 56 hours per week. When we minus that from the total number of 168 hours we have in a week, we will be left with 112 hours.

 

Now, let’s say you work 45 hours per week, you commute for 8 hours, you also travel for 5 hours in total for non-work related stuff (like going to see friends, shopping, paying bills, etc.). Then we have your leisure hours of watching TV, browsing the internet and so on, for 15 hours per week. We will also add cleaning time that you take to 3 hours, shopping, cooking and eating food for 12 hours, bathing and getting ready to 4 hours, and doing your hobbies, like playing an instrument, doing yoga, reading, etc., to 5 hours per week. We will now add the time you socialise with friends or talk to them on the phone to 5 hours, and finally, the time you spend with your family, boyfriend/girlfriend to 15 hours.
