The Right Way to Make a Big Career Transition

• The first step is to ask yourself why you want to change your career and risk a secure job that is your bread and butter.
• Find ways to get a feel for your new position to better understand the new role you are considering.
• Be honest with yourself and think with an objective mind.
• Keep the long-term vision in mind, thinking ahead about what could happen in the next 20 or 30 years with your decision.
• Write your future autobiography in advance, with as much detailing as possible.
• How we spend our days is how our life turns out to be, and each hour counts.

There is a need to assess yourself by asking the following:

1. What is my main goal or vision?
2. Am I doing the things that need to be done every day to achieve my main goal?
3. Will my future self regret my current career choices?

We need to write down the steps that would make our old self proud of us, along with the problems that we may have to handle. We need to be aware, curious and adventurous in our approach.
