Recently, a gamechanger asked me this: "Do you believe in switching industries completely without the background mid career?

My answer is that you have more to gain and can do this easier than you think! Listen to this full episode for a breakdown of why career changes are not so hard after all!

It's good to be cheap and frugal, but not always When it comes to careers, many people spend more as they start earning more. They get deeply sucked into the rat race, which leads to subpar life and career decisions.  What is sad and ironic is that people are willing to shell out as much money as they need to for consumer goods, instead of spending smartly on self-development, net living conditions betterment, and learning the skills you need to continue developing.

We are who we are largely because of the environment we've been exposed to throughout our lives.  As much as proponents of individualism and autonomy like to promote how humans can conquer their environment, reality does NOT reflect that sentiment.  This #2 of 10 career killers will contribute to negative feelings, emotions, and actions that may hurt your career prospects. Be very diligent about what you do in this regard!

Everyone has experienced analysis paralysis - you think too much and do too little.  This is a major career killer because it stops you from thinking the right thoughts and doing what you must to obtain a great job offer.  What we need to be doing instead of thinking is getting out to market. Therefore, DOING is the best thing you can do today to jumpstart your career and business.  Sign-up to Dandanglobal.com on what to DO to get the career and life you envision!

Here is how you do it. It's not hard but it's not easy...
