I'm back today to explode yet another job transition myth: the fear that, if you change your career field, you'll be “throwing away” all the skills, experience and goodwill you've built up in your current field.

I have a friend who would like to start her own business as an interior designer, and leave her current 9-to-5 job as a computer programmer.

So many times, we run into rookies who are fed up with their regular 40 hr week job. After hearing all the stories of people getting rich with real estate, they are ready to throw in the towel on their regular job, tell their boss what they think of him, and jump full time into the business of buying and selling homes.
If you fall into this category, don’t do it.

In my Life Coaching Business I often see clients who after a few minutes of talking tell me what career they would love.
