If you are considering a career change, do not make that move until you’ve watch this video. My name is Amanda Bentow and I’m obsessed with helping people live their best life.
The goal is to get you into a career that utilizes your natural gifts and talents. It should be something that you’re excited about doing even on the difficult days, because there are difficult days in any career. If your current job isn’t fulfilling that description, then it might be time to jump ship.
But before you do that, let’s consider why. You can find fulfillment in your career, when your job, your duties and responsibilities align with the passion and the purpose that you love so much.
But to find out if those things are in alignment with each other, there are some questions that you can ask.
Carl Jung was a famous psychiatrist and he said, “Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.”
Grab a pen and paper and write down your answers to these questions.
Number one: How do I want to feel about my work?
Number two: Which skills are currently untapped and need to be tapped? In other words, where do I have more potential that’s just not yet being used?
And number three: What values need to be present in my future career? It’s really important that there’s alignment between the organization that you work for and your own personal beliefs. If that’s not the case, get really clear about what is important to you.
There’s nothing that makes a bigger mess than doing something for the wrong reason. So if you jump because you think you need more responsibility or more money, or more leadership, or more fulfillment, or fewer idiots, then that’s great. But know specifically what it is that you need. If you don’t know, you’ll just get distracted by all the shiny objects and you’ll forget why you left in the first place.

I don’t know why she swallowed the fly. I guess she’ll die.
That’s such a weird song.
