It is no longer just a fanciful notion to undergo a career change to “follow your dream”, “pursue your passion” or “discover your purpose”. And while it is becoming more familiar for people to do just that, most will not make a change because they don’t know-how. But it’s more gracious than you think with the accurate tools.

3) Initially, you will feel inadequate and unqualified.
Nobody is an expert their first day and you won’t be either, particularly in the case of someone who is changing to a completely diverse career. Naturally, if you are completely changing careers, you will have a learning curve in the beginning. Be patient with yourself and remember that you aren’t exactly starting at square one. You acquire many soft skills you are bringing into your new career, as well as all of the knowledge you have gained up to this point in your work history.

Remember the ancient adage “Rome wasn’t built in a day” and allow yourself time to learn. If you position yourself to enter a career field that leverages your unique strengths, personality, and interests you will learn suddenly and “catch up” before you perceive it. With help, this shift won’t be as difficult as you think.

4) You will feel fear…a lot
When I initially started informing people I was going through a career change because I never liked being an accountant many of them were shocked. They had no idea I was so miserable in my original career choice. But fear can require you do things you would not otherwise consider doing. I stayed in my career because I was frightened of the unknown, afraid of failing at something new, afraid of judgment from other people, and afraid that I couldn’t afford to make a change. I spent many years because I gave fear so much power over me. And when I ultimately decided to make a career change, the fear magnified. I nevertheless experienced fear…in an alternative way.
But with help, I was clever to focus more on my excitement than my fear. And to navigate the fear, versus allowing it to paralyze me.

The reality is that we all experience fear. What is important is that we recognize it and don’t use it as an excuse to stay stuck. Fear is just a feeling. But it is a feeling that you must learn to work WITH, not avoid, and not merely keep pushing through. I see too many people waste time procrastinating because of fear, or getting burned out trying to push through fear. Hence you require a specific strategy to deal with it. And support and accountability to focus on more your excitement than your fear.

It is no longer just a fanciful notion to undergo a career change to “follow your dream”, “pursue your passion” or “discover your purpose”. And while it is becoming more familiar for people to do just that, most will not make a change because they don’t know-how. But it’s more gracious than you think with the accurate tools.

The process of executing a career change is not without its uncertainties and “a-ha” moments. Most people are unprepared for the challenges that arise in achieving a transition and are unable to overcome them. What generally happens is they hit a roadblock, go backward in the process or even abandon their attempt to achieve their career change because they get discouraged and overwhelmed. But you can foil them.

The following represent eight things that most who undergo career changes encounter. I have experienced these myself as well as with my clients as they navigate their career changes. It is critical to not only be aware of these issues but to know how to overcome them.

1) In the beginning, you will question your decision.
“Am I being greedy?” “Is it irresponsible of me not to use my hard-earned college degree/training/etc.? For my career?” “How will I start all over?” “Can I absolutely achieve this?” “Is this the appropriate time”? These are just a few of the questions you may ask yourself as you contemplate a career change. And these remain absolutely standard and reasonable questions to ask. But if you don’t know how to find the right answers to them you will find yourself stuck in paralysis mode. Furthermore, I believe the most critical question to ask is “What happens if I DON’T make this career change?”Chew on that for a moment…
In my case the answer was, “I will continue to be unhappy, stressed out, gain more weight, lose more sleep, take my frustration out on my family, etc.” and the list goes on. If you are depressed in your career to the point that your health and relationships are suffering, you need to effect some changes. And you need to implement the changes in the logical order. Otherwise, you will get paralyzed questioning and second-guessing yourself.

2) Your loved ones will interrogate you as well.
When you initially start notifying your family and friends that you are making a career change, expect some of them to be, let’s say, less than supportive. Don’t take it personally. It’s not their fault. There is a fair amount of risk involved in transforming careers, both actual and perceived. Your loved ones don’t want to behold you fail or make a mistake. Many of them will feel as if it’s more beneficial for you to “play it safe” and stay put. And it’s incredibly effortless for them to say that–they are not the ones living the day to day frustrations that you are, in a career that isn’t the right fit.
Maintain your perspective and don’t receive their remarks personally. It’s your life, your choice, so forge ahead. It’s enormous to allow everyone to buy-in on your career change, but chances are, you will have some naysayers and that’s okay because their intentions are genuine. But you will need to have a system to prevent these voices from restraining you or you are susceptible to giving up on your career change plan.

https://www.lifebeyondcertificate.com/woman-entrepreneur-surviving-all-odds-to-excel-in-business/

Welcome to a unique session with a woman entrepreneur. She has survived several challenging issues including accident to discover and stay on her dream of being in business. ‘A multifaceted woman entrepreneur’ as I call has several lines of business to include red oil business, retail chain store, and first grade clothing attire. Her business has attracted wealth and fame to her. Stay glue and enjoy this inspiring session.

Personality Profile: I am Enobong Udoeyen, a native of Nsit Ibom L.G.A in Akwa Ibom State. I graduated from Social Studies Education Department, University of Uyo. Starting and staying in business has not been easy. I have always been passionate about attending university education despite the lack of funding from close relatives. I have at several occasions been turn down after every attempt to attract educational funding. This quest has been one of my greatest motivation to seek solution from inside-out. starting a business, no matter how small appeared as my only option for survival. Since I got my admission, I was determined to graduate. Within this period of contemplation on the kind of business to do, I met a colleague who gave me a bale material on credit to sell on a pay-latter condition. Since I was passionate and had no option, I obliged. I was committed to succeed in this business. Since I already had a house where I lived, I did not need to rent any shop. I started word of mouth of marketing among course mate, church members and neighbours. It yielded result though in a stressful way.


LBC CREW (Cutsin): How did you gain the trust of this your colleague?

Young Entrepreneur: Well, in life you need to take risk and work hard to win the trust. Since she was my colleague in school and ran the same programme in the University that gave me an advantage. She gave me the first set of clothes which I sold out gracefully. Howbeit, her terms and conditions was bizarre. I paid back at a higher rate than rate I could have paid if I had the bulk money to buy the products. When my mum visited and was aware of this new development, she was surprised that I could do something like that without telling her. You know that there are some dreams that get shattered because of discouragement from people. This made it difficult for me to share this dream with anybody. She saw ability and promised to help me from Lagos since she stayed at Lagos. So I paid the lady who I owed and ordered for another.


LBC CREW: What was the way forward after paying up your bills?

I had to expand my line of product to include male clothing. Another way forward was being contented, I had to be contented and calculative to how I spend money as regards food and what I wear to avoid spending both my capital and interest to avoid running into business trauma.


LCB CREW: What is the success behind this “First Grade” clothing business?

Young Entrepreneur: Well, one may end up spending so much to drop ship ( purchase and shipment) and end up running at a lost. Before I started, I made enquirers and used my natural intelligence. Some starters might end up being used by the experience business gurus, thereby exploiting them. A product of N 30, 000 might be sold at
N50,000. I had been a victim of this, like the first set of product I got was given to me at a very high rate with the help of my mum, I got to know that the original amount was lesser than that, this happened because I was ignorant of this and didn’t have money to make my own purchase.


LBC CREW: So did you continue with the business and at what point did you see the need to diversity?

Young Entrepreneur: Well, the business gave me time initially because I could lock my room, go to school and if anyone needed the offer, the person could just place a call but as I got to my second year in university, I had to pause to give my academics more attention. In my third and final year, when I had fewer courses to do, I diversified to provision business. This was due to the fact that in my area, there were no shops around to get food stuff. I begged my landlady to use the front of her shop for this small business. So I started with a counter which has now grown to a store.


LBC CREW: Comparatively, between “First Grade” clothing business and provision business which one gives you better income?

Young Entrepreneur: It depends on who is doing the business, the location and demand for service rendered. Howbeit, provision business is better for someone who is disciplined.


LBC CREW: What were your major distractions?

Young Entrepreneur: Like I said one is bound to be envied, there are things one can’t do alone, helping hands are being needed, you employ someone whose aim is to rob you, maybe because of bad advice from the neighborhood.


LBC CREW: Okay, what are your marketing strategies; how did you attract customers

Young Entrepreneur: Well, the first thing is God, a business owner must imbibe tolerance, friendliness with customers.
LBC CREW: In such a case where you are marketing a product for male customers, who seems to be more interested in you than the product, what do you do?
Young Entrepreneur: Well, I’ve experienced that, cases where someone takes your contact, promising to buy from you but ends up acting funny. As a woman, these challenges are inevitable. One need to resist advances and be discipline.


LBC CREW (cuts in): How do you do it, by shouting on the person?

Young Entrepreneur: No, no, no. you just say; I’m sorry, I can’t grant your wish, despite persistent tempting offers. So, there is need for when contentment. Refusal of such offers will earn respect to the lady. If a business lady who had an initial mindset of selling her product now sells her body in turn to a man, she ends up losing herself worth. So it’s better to focus, keep your head up and don’t concur to sexual harassment from men.


LBC CREW: Alright, so from where you are now in business, where are you heading to?

Young Entrepreneur: I look forward to selling in wholesales and also to have everything that should be seen in a retail shop. Then, for clothing, I desire to be a distributor to retailers, I mean selling in wholesale. Also, I did not specify earlier that I am also a dealer in palm oil sales/ distribution. It was also through a friend I got into this. This has a wider target mark as it is mostly consumed be Nigerian household.


LBC CREW: How do you market all these?

Young Entrepreneur: Well, there was a time, I got a shop to sell clothing but the landlord increased the rate within a period of one year, since the shop rent was taking most of the money and I didn’t make much sales, I relocated and brought all my business in one location. Again, when it comes to advertisement, it works like network for me. One quality service will always attract more referrals. Another thing is that I am more interested in my business turn over than making so much at once.


LBC CREW: So when starting a business, one does not really need to start big?

Young Entrepreneur: Yes, in business you can start anything and anywhere. You just need God, consistency, and determination. You also need to relate well with people. One does not need to wait till he has job or has everything to start something. Even when I was in search of a job, not like they told me that there was no job but I was being stressed with the normal statement “Go and come back tomorrow”. Infact, one of the days I went looking for a job, I almost got knocked down by a car and the driver zoomed off, that day I came back with a decision to do something. Again, one must be passionate and not ashamed of whatever business he/she is into. Don’t be too proud to start small. I remember.
