In And Just Like That, Seema launches her own Real Estate firm and suddenly has to start cutting her lifestyle to make it work. Ok, ok…cutting back on a personal driver might not be that big of a sacrifice…
But that’s just one example of the narrative we keep seeing:
Want a dream career? Get ready to sacrifice everything.
I recently read Simon Squibb’s “What’s Your Dream?” And while I love the message, it still left me feeling a bit… meh.
Because there is a stage in life, where “just quit” isn’t always an option.
You’ve got a mortgage. Kids in school. A lifestyle you don’t want to trade in.
But that doesn’t mean reinvention is off the table.
It just means you need a strategy.
Here’s what I tell my clients:
Don’t quit. Build the foundation first.
- Get radically clear on your goals
- Define the exact steps (not vibes)
- Position yourself as a thought leader
- Build your personal brand
- Network intentionally
- Start building momentum
And then, when the time is right – you jump.
