Transitioning To a New Career Can be Scary !!

 After 20 plus years in the military I am transitioning to the civilian sector. The military has been enjoyable, but now its time to follow my dreams and pursue my passion. In addition, how can I be a motivational speaker who niche is following your purpose and disabling your excuses if I'm not doing the same for myself? I have to push forward !


Take action despite the obstacles that are seen, unseen or created by your fears.




I have to be honest the transition I'm going through is challenging. Building different resumes, getting prepared for interviews, waiting for call backs, networking and creating leads can be very time consuming and overwhelming. You are constantly thinking about maintaining your lifestyle and getting a job that pays more or at least as much as you earn now. If you have a family you're constantly thinking about everyone depending on you and all the obligations you have. The list goes on and on.


Please keep in mind that when you do not get the job it is not always because you're not qualified or wouldn't be a great fit with the company and personnel. Have you every thought that you represented yourself so well at an interview that you were seen as a threat ?  Many times people on interview boards will not recommend hiring someone they believe is a threat to their position, or would take away the limelight they currently have in the office.


Think about it....


I want to hear your thoughts.



Don't stop going after your goals. It's going to be challenging along the way. I'm going through it right now. Many of you are going through it too. We WILL make it, and be VICTORIOUS. Let's get through this together. Feel free to share your thoughts.
