Why is it so hard to make a successful career transition?

Here`s what I have observed over the years. Many people start researching options for transitioning to a career. Let`s take Barry, a typical client who completed a Job Joy Report. He has a comfortable secure government job that he hates. His mind has two contradictory goals: he wants the vitality offered by a new career that better fits his authentic self, but he wants to avoid financial insecurity. Although Barry wants a new career, as he starts to explore it, some of the tension is relieved but his fear of financial insecurity increases. Therefore, in order to avoid a future that might be financially insecure, he stops taking action because to take action and move out of his comfortable government job into a new career means he might end up financially insecure - damned if he does, damned if he doesn't—the classic double bind. If you are in the same kind of position, then this service is for you! In my experience of working with individuals for the past 20 years, I have seen this oscillating pattern persist for a decade in many cases. Furthermore, what happens over time is that the frequency of this movement between the two poles—in this case Barry's desire for financial security and his desire for more vitality in life attenuates until the individual actually stops wanting what they want, and stops striving to attain it. At this point, they are literally stuck in the career trap. If you are stuck, I strongly encourage you to join Job Joy for Life. Stop believing it`s not possible to you to get out of the career trap. It is! When we find ourselves in a double bind, each of us has a choice: we can remain in the structure and find a way to cope with its negative effects on our health and well-being, or we can get out of it. Getting out of the career trap means choosing what you really, really want.
