[15:12] Strategies for a Successful Career Change

Through asking strategic questions, you can quickly understand complex problems or opportunities and determine the best path forward. It’s a powerful skill that you can have in your tool box as you’re able to pick apart a problem or situation and typically find the one thread or proposition that can solve a big part of an issue within 10 minutes of focused discussion. By actively seeking feedback from people we work with, friends, family, clients and colleagues, we can gain valuable insights into how others perceive us and our impact. This feedback can help uncover talents we're unaware of possessing.

• • The "do not do" list is crucial, especially when facing challenges and responsibilities like family and financial concerns. Have you prepared enough for the next 190 days, following a six month emergency game plan? It's essential to have savings readily available, allowing you to focus on your goals without the constant worry of needing immediate income. Prioritizing saving money becomes the mission for financial security.

• [21:52] Two Ways to Get to Where You Want to Be

• 1. Job hopping - By regularly changing jobs every 1-2 years, you can increase your compensation and benefits at each new role. This allows you to continuously advance your career and financial position rather than staying stagnant at one company.
• 2. Developing a side hustle - Having a side business or side project that generates additional income provides an avenue for financial independence beyond just a single paycheck. It allows you to gain more control over your cash flow and get closer to your goals through entrepreneurial efforts.

[26:11] Outsourcing to Focus on What Matters

• • When you're feeling overwhelmed after leaving your job, it's time to take a step back and evaluate your tasks. Start by writing down everything you do on a daily basis, from mundane chores to important business activities. As you check off the list, identify what can be outsourced, allowing you to focus on what you truly love and excel at. By outsourcing and reclaiming your time, you can concentrate on high-value activities that bring significant returns and make a lasting impact.

• [33:58] The Importance of Writing Down Your Goals

• The most successful individuals in the world understand the power of writing down their goals.By identifying these three tasks and breaking them down into actionable steps, progress becomes tangible. Writing down goals transforms mere dreams and intentions into concrete targets. It triggers a connection within the mind, stimulating visualization and problem-solving abilities.
