Nugget 1 : If you have decided it’s a career change you need, stop pussy footing about by moving your crappy job into another organisation – this is not a career change, it’s a  job move! Same c**p, different place.

Nugget 2: Work on your career change 10x to 100x more committed than a change of job!  In the end you will have a greater reward, which has nothing to do with a pay check!

Nugget 3: Determine how much you are worth an hour!

And start acting as if you already have it.

Nugget 4: Get a system in place so that each role you are applying for is not a weeklong chore.

Nugget 5: You make the rules for you career change, no one else.  Don’t let other people who are not earning a living doing what they love tell you how it should be done.

Nugget 6: Create your career around your life, instead of settling for a life around your job.

Nugget 7: Focus on what is meaningful : and relevant, give your career change the attention it deserves and cut out the stuff that holds your attention, that is wasting you valuable emotional time and space.

Nugget 8: You owe it to yourself not to shut doors on ideas before you even start, others will do this for you instead!

Nugget 9: Find people that can help you.  In your search, research, knowledge, skills and experience.  We all don’t know everything!

Nugget 10: Get feedback for everything you put out.  Didn’t get the interview? Tthen stop blaming and find out why, so you can learn, amend and move on.

Nugget 11: Put aside all the belittling and negativity of others telling what you should be doing, if their actions aren’t true, say nothing.

Nugget 12: Ask yourself the right questions ‘why’, who’, ‘when’, ‘how’, ‘what’ and ‘where’, to come up with solutions.  All other questions are statements.

Nugget 13: Know what you are brilliant AT.

Nugget 14: Remove the word ‘but’ from your language and replace it with however!

Nugget 15: Realise that you career is never done, until the day you are done! Get over it. What you choose today does not have to be your tomorrow!

Nugget 16: Remove all the risk that people think about you.

Nugget 17: Always keep a few unique pieces of you hidden until you need them.

Nugget 18: Can you sell you? Would you ‘buy’ from you?

Nugget 19: You always have choices, accept the fact that they are staring you in the face! Open your mind.

Nugget 20: Out there are people that are wiser, cleverer, more knowledgeable and better than you.  So what and who cares?  The only person you have to convince is a potential employer.

Nugget 21: Mastermind with people that open you to possibilities, even if you can’t see a way in, find one.

Nugget 22: Create a bigger impression, and be the first person to get into the mind of an employer.

Nugget 23: Never past through any success too quickly, no matter how small.

Nugget 24: Do the unexpected.

Nugget 25: Get a LIFE!  Your career is an extention of you.

Nugget 26: Give back…the most important of all.  Help someone else out for nothing in return.
