SUMMARY
——————–
Have a plan…
The problem is most people don’t have a plan, which I’m going to give you today—the first seven steps of that plan.
But first, a little perspective and motivation…
If I wasn’t brave enough 13 or so years ago to make a career change and then again 2 years ago to make another change, you’d never be benefiting from this video or any video I’ve ever created, or any training course, or anything I’ve ever done to help facilitate your career and your life.
I want you think about as you’re hesitating to make that change. Think of all those people in this world who would benefit from you doing so.
Let’s roll…
1. Make sure you want it and make a list.
It sounds silly, but there’s a huge difference between a passing fancy and a burning desire. Most people fail not because of their ability, but because they don’t have a good plan in place.
BONUS: I have a three-part video series you can watch. It’s called The First 5 Steps to Career Success: Get Your Career Focused, Organized, and On Track. Watch this to make sure you make the right list: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxjGQaV8rAh0iCcNnSBg15YEWjH_PUJ3v
2. What are you willing to sacrifice?
You have the ability to make this career change or get that job. The reason a lot of people fail is not only because they don’t have a plan, but also because they’re unwilling to give up certain things in their life. You have to put in extra effort to compensate for the areas you’re deficient. You need to “catch up.”
3. Learn the capabilities and qualities.
You need to discover the capabilities important for success in that particular career or job.
Here’s an example. When a sales person is sells a product or service, knowing exactly how to sell that particular product is a trade skill learned through experience selling that specific product.
That’s skill is usually something easily taught or learned. But, great sales people transcend product and services. They have foundational abilities like good leadership skills, good organizational skills, and good communication skills.
4. Do your reconnaissance with people currently doing that career or job.
Talk to people currently doing that job—and I want to stress the word currently.
5. Build your Franken-Mentor.
It’s never been easier to get help and get educated on a career you want. I call this one “building a Franken-Mentor.”
Google them. Find their books. Find their blogs. Follow those people.
6. Anticipate and plan for the struggles.
Everybody has 3 problems. You have a:
-Learning problem
-Marketing problem
-Job-interviewing problem
7. Execute your plan to overcome the struggles and advance toward success!
The learning issue we discussed a bit. Build your Franken-Mentor, get the books, follow the blogs, do the research, do your reconnaissance, talk to the people, start getting educated, start becoming more and more familiar.
Most people are concerned about the “marketing issue.” People always want to know, “What do I put on my resume? What if I don’t have the right experience?”
