Planning to Quit current Profession
Time to Quit your Job?
6 steps to avoid regrets!!!
Lesson I learned by abruptly leaving the Job!
Most of us start going to work around age of 20, work till 60 and think of getting retired around 65. In between people get the thought of quitting but due to fear of failure, financial commitment, believe/Perception that they hold stops them from taking any steps to achieve their freedom lifestyle that they dreamed of.
How to come out of this situation? first question to ask yourself?
1) Why you are thinking to Quit the JOB?
a) Hate is the legitimate reason to quitting? (Office Politics, Didn't like Boss)
b) The desire to earning is more than the current earning?
c) Not Sure of Future / Overwhelmed with Industrial Revolution?
d) You feel you were Redundant
2) What are the other option available?
Most people fall to the trap of quick money making schemes like Network Marketing, Stock Market Investment, Quick and easy money online, Make money online scams, Insurance Agent, All these activities make a person busy but not help in personal growth, these are the activity result in clutter on achieving the freedom lifestyle.
3) Learn New Skill:
Take Help from superior or develop the skill in current job to see a vertical movement (Getting promotion) than horizontal movement.
Most of us will never ask for help or explore options in the current organization or in their career, Either Ego stops us to ask for help or we are lost in comfort zone
If you have an IDEA to start your own then do the POC (Proof Of Concept) or MVP (Minimum Viable Product) before putting both your feet in the business word.
4) Develop the SKILL:
By this stage if you are able to decide on next plan either to continue with the job or starting new then start working on improving the skill required.
Major Skill required in Job environment: Communication, Interpersonal, Getting specialized skill in what you are currently doing.
Major Skill required in starting your own: If you are leaving the job then there is a risk of money which stop coming in so need to have a Financial support system to survive till you break-even
Business Acumen Skill, Patience, be More Productive, Delegation, etc
Lou Holtz said. “In this world you're either growing or you're dying, so get in motion and grow.” Many example of companies which were not ready to grow or come out of comfort zone doesn't exist ( Ex: Kodak, Nokia, Sun Micro system, Old Traditional business who not ready to scale, 'Meru Cabs' these are few result of the Current Industrial (Technology Innovation) revolutions that we are in)
5) Get into Unlearn - Learn - Relearn Mode:
We have access to lot of information online to improve the skill parallel with the job. you can undergo mentorship with the existing business / Professional expert so that you have confident to start the business or move in career with aggression
Best investment that you make is to invest on yourself to develop the skill require to lead a freedom fulfilment lifestyle
6) WHAT IF question
At this stage, Its not about Negative or Positive thought its all about Lateral thinking which needs to be developed so that you are confident at what decision you are taking
Take time and ask question?
1) If you continue with dissatisfied job which hamper your confident and have impact on one of the 3 pillar of your life (Health, Wealth, Relationship)
2) Develop the skill required to move to the next level start working on rather than distracted with making quick money schemes.
3) There are multiple option available but do not get overwhelmed with the knowledge available just focus on the one thing at a time and work towards achieving the goal.
