How to Make A Career Change

Second Career ... How to make a career change to a Home Based Business
Making a career change can be both scary and exciting. For many, the fear of the unknown or the fear of doing something alone stops them from taking some risk. We have found that the key to successfully making a career change is to NOT be alone, to have guidance, support and mentorship.
Find a Company where you are not alone. You want to associate yourself with a company that will help you make a career change with plenty of coaching through all phases of the processes; training, mentorship, and business and marketing guidance as needed.
Have more free time The idea is to find a home based business opportunity that will enable you to have more free time … the training and first months can all be part time as well! You can make your career change as slowly or quickly as you wish.
Transition into the second career For those looking for a low risk solution and are willing to work hard, you can begin the home based business while continuing your existing job. However if you are determined and financially motivated, you will be quitting your job sooner rather than later. You may find that you will make more in the first few months of your part time career than you could in an entire year of your full time job.
Look for a company that will provide you with a wealth of information and consultations during the decision process. Then get people that are available during the home training period. And once you are ready, they will mentor you through the start-up of your new home-based business.
Recently an acquaintance and I were having dinner and she shared with me her frustration at her job. After almost 12 years working for non-profits, she felt that she was experiencing career burnout and becoming disenchanted with her career choice.
For many years she enjoyed the challenge and rewards that came with helping others in need. Now, as a young parent wanting to pay for private schools for her daughter’s as well as numerous extra curricular activities, she was in a position where she wanted to make more money and be able to provide some of the nicer things in life for her family.
More importantly, she had lost the excitement that she once had for her job. Having worked in various parts of the system including special events, marketing and program management, she felt that she was ready for a change but not wanting to go back to school. How then, she asked me, could she make a career change without reinventing the wheel or going back to school and spending more time and money? Since I myself was once in a similar situatuion, I now could offer support as a second career mentor. by explaining to her a home business opportunity .
So look for and find a Second Career, Once you have mastered it, take the time to mentor someone else and teach them what you have learned. In this way you will find not only financial freedom but true peace and prosperity.
