1. I don't trust myself to choose
the RIGHT business or career.
The fear of making the wrong choice
can freeze you into inaction. So often we put a lot of
pressure on ourselves to have THIS career choice be the
perfect one. Give yourself a break! If you are following
your heart and your passions, this career choice, even
if it is not the "perfect" one, will put you on the path
to a career you love.
2. I don't know enough.
"If I only knew more I would be
ready to move to that next career or start my own
business." It is easy to spend the rest of our lives
researching, learning and NOT doing. Do you want to know
how to learn the fastest? Learn in action! It's not
always pretty but it gets the job done. You will never
know enough until you jump into that new career or
business.
3. I can't make enough money
doing what I love.
First of all saying the word
"can't" shuts down all creativity and makes that
statement come true. Instead ask yourself, "What are
some ideas that will turn what I love into money
streams?" Remember you can have several streams of
income. It doesn't all have to come from one place. Sit
down with a positive friend and brainstorm all the ways
you can make money from what you love.
4. Changing careers is too
hard.
Staying at a career you hate is
too hard!! Sure any change takes some focus and action
but when you are moving towards your dreams it is worth
it. Break it down. Take it one step at a time and soon
you will be there.
5. I'm too old to make a career
change.
I remember reading about a woman
who had always dreamed about being a doctor. She entered
medical school at the age of 60. Often people would say
to her, "Do you know how old you will be when you
finish?" Her answer always was, "I'll be in my 70's
anyway. I would rather be a doctor when I am 70 than
just be 70." It is never too late to make a career
change or start a business that brings you joy.
6. I am not good at marketing
and promoting so I can't start my own business.
Most people do not start out being
excellent at marketing themselves or their business.
Don't let that stop you! There are plenty of books and
classes that will teach you how. Find one that fits your
personality. Also consider partnering with someone who
is great at marketing and let them do it for you in
exchange for a piece of the action.
7. I don't have enough
confidence to change careers or start a new business.
Be willing to take baby steps.
With each action your confidence will build. If your
lack of confidence is keeping you from even taking a
baby step find a Life Coach to work with you on building
that confidence. Change the beliefs about yourself that
are holding you back and you will take steps you never
thought possible!
8. I should just be happy where
I am.
Whenever I hear a "should" I know
that compromise is nearby! It is important to follow
your intuition and inner guidance. Being unhappy in a
career is often a red flag from your wise self saying,
"Listen up! It is time to head a different direction."
9. I don't want to do anything
forever.
This is a common theme from a true
idea person. This type of person has so many great ideas
that it is hard to stick with just one. The key to
success is picking one idea and growing it into a
successful career or business then and only then is it
time to move to the next great idea. You don't have to
stick with it forever!
10. All the good opportunities
are gone.
You don't have to be the first one
to do something! Most successful businesses and careers
are built by modeling what others have already done
well. There are always fabulous opportunities if you are
willing to open your eyes and see.
