5. Get personal. Find out as much as much as you can about those fields you are interested in. Reach out to personal contacts in those sectors for informational chats to discover more. LinkedIn is a great resource for finding contacts in specific career fields of interest.
6. Take a class. Investigate educational opportunities that would bridge your background to your new field. Consider taking an evening course at a local college or an online course. Spend some time at one day or weekend seminars. Contact professional groups in your target field for suggestions.
7. Upgrade your skills. Look for ways to develop new skills in your current job which would pave the way for a change. Sign up for as many classes as you can.
8. Consider a new job in the same industry. Consider alternative roles within your current industry which would utilize the industry knowledge you already have.
9.. Update you CV and covering letter. You never know you may have lots of new skills to add and courses you have attended.
10. Hire a Coach for your own business venture. A coach will assist and guide the business owner in growing their business by helping them clarify the vision of their business and how it fits in with their personal goals. Increase accountability and focus. Business coaching is a process used to help the client get from where they are now to where they want to be.
How do you become unstuck?
Sometimes you can get stuck in worry, afraid to make a decision or change something in your life. Or maybe you’re disappointed with how a particular situation turned out, and it just feels too hard to move on.
When we get stuck, we often wait for external change to happen. But change doesn’t happen to us, it comes from within us. Change is scary and painful, but it’s also necessary for getting unstuck. And when that happens, many opportunities open up.
Let go of the past.
Change your perspective.
Start with small changes.
Explore your purpose.
Believe in yourself.
Consider talking to a professional life coach.
Here are a few questions to ask yourself.
1. What makes me feel healthy / happy / relaxed / successful?
2. Why do I want this?
3. Why don’t I want to move forward?
4. What’s the story I tell myself about why I can’t move forward?
5. What’s really true and what do I want to do about it?
These questions are not a magic wand. They will not take you from “stagnant” to “living your dream life” overnight but they offer a new way of seeing yourself and your situation. And sometimes a new perspective is exactly what you need to get unstuck and start changing your life.
Where you’re going doesn’t matter as much as you think it does. Maybe you should just go. Simply make your next move, any move. Baby steps is all it takes. Rome was not built in a day! Only you make a difference.
