Stop the Job Suckage: Day Ten

Wow. 

We’ve arrived at the final day.

You have determined your ideal day, noticed the qualities you’d like to implement in your life, brainstormed solutions, identified resistance, put yourself in integrity, used collaboration.

Tomorrow is Monday.

Maybe you are habitually afflicted with “a case of the Mondays.”

Like anything else, that is a choice…

Exercise #1: Whether you are shifting careers or still looking into your next move, make a timeline.

If you’re shifting careers entirely, make a timeline for how you will transition out and into what career. 

If you’re still experimenting with career options, make a timeline that notes all of the people you’ll talk to and steps you’ll take.

Put timeline dates into your 2010 calendar.

Exercise #2–the “I really do want to shift things litmus test”–share your timeline with someone who you know will gently keep you accountable. Set up a way to check in with them on at least a monthly basis to report your progress. They need not be your ruler…they’re just someone who will listen to what you say you’re going to do.

Exercise #3–the “There is no doubt in my mind that I don’t want to be stuck in a crummy job forever and I will take action rather than procrastinate test”–share your plans with lots of people, via email, via the internet, via the information super highway, and directly ask for their support.

Then, DO IT ANYWAY, regardless of whether or not they give it.

The journey of stopping the Job Suckage may not be over in only ten days. If you want continued support, consider signing up for the first ten weeks of The Courageous Year, where you’ll have the option of receiving additional support in making the changes you want to make. I also work with people one-on-one, starting with a free complimentary coaching session, to help you work through the transitional challenges that come with stepping into your dream career.

Finally, 

CONGRATULATIONS!

You made it to the end. It is a courageous act just to ask yourself some of these questions and consider the responses that come up.

What’s next? You decide. I support you in courageously stepping forward to live 100% fully alive in all areas of your life, including doing what you love as your livelihood.
