Career Crossroads: Time to Decide

Sep 09, 2024

Indecision is a decision. Let me repeat: indecision is a decision.

If you’ve been thinking of making a career change for a while now, I want to ask you: what’s stopping you from figuring out your next step?

Some common answers I hear include:

  • “I don’t know what to do next.”
  • “It’s too risky.”
  • “I don’t know where to start.”
  • “What if it doesn’t work out?”
  • “It will impact us financially.”

Have you ever tried to truly answer these questions for yourself? We often let them float around unanswered, leading to confusion and prolonged indecision.

So before we move on, take 5 seconds to answer this question: What would your future self in 10 years tell you to do right now? What advice would she give you? 

… Take a moment… 

I have a feeling she’s telling you to:

  • Stop worrying.
  • Make a plan.
  • Go for it.
  • Believe in yourself.

 

What often holds us back is fear of the unknown. But sitting in indecision is its own discomfort. By making a choice, you take back control. You have two options: stay where you are and fully commit, or decide to explore a new path this year, so that by January, you’re on your way to a more fulfilling and aligned career.

Make a decision and move on, my friend. It’s incredibly freeing.

If you need guidance, I’m offering a 2-hour workshop designed to help you navigate your career crossroads. By the end, you’ll have a clear plan for your next steps. Ready to decide? Sign up for the From Career Crossroads to Career Clarity free workshop.
