Growth starts with change. If you want to do more in your life, you must embrace change.

According to April Rinne, ‘When you learn to run slower, you begin to crave a calmer pace. Silence becomes a friend.’

‘When you learn to see what’s invisible, you discover marvelous new universes of opportunity– and that the old script made you blind to things you genuinely care about.’

‘When you learn to get lost, you begin to feel delight when things don’t go according to plan, when plans change, or when you have no cue what will happen next.’

‘When you learn to start with trust, you yearn for more trust. You’re better equipped to earn trust and allow other’s trustworthiness to shine through.’

‘When you know your ‘enough,’ you begin living in abundance and take better care of yourself and others.’

‘When you learn to create a portfolio career, you immediately stop seeing work merely ‘as having (or getting) a job’ You no longer fret about losing a job and can position yourself confidently towards the future of work.’

When you learn to be fully, wholeheartedly human, your relationships with other people ( and your mental health, and your sleep) improve. You’re finally able to recaliberate your relationship with technology too.’

‘When you learn to let go of the future, you find it looks brighter than ever.’

‘No one except you can write your new script, nor can you write anyone else’s script for them.’

‘Change is your norm.’

‘Hiring managers expect you to negotiate. Done respectfully, it can both increase your earnings and enhance your relationship.’

‘Even if presented with a good offer, sleep on it. Chances are there is something extra- a sign-on bonus, additional vacation time, flextime- that will benefit you.’

‘There are many perks that put money into your pocket at the end of the month in addition to base salary. Understand which are meaningful to you.’

‘As a Switcher, you may need to take a hit on compensation; however, don’t let that one factor override all the positive gains that come with the career change. Money is the only one piece of the larger career-switch puzzle.’

‘Choosing between two solid offers can be difficult. Consider multiple factors such as your direct boss, longer-term opportunities, and company culture when deciding.’

‘Failure is a learning opportunity that is par for the career-switch course! Get up, dust off, and keep on moving forward.’

‘Branding and networking are ongoing activities for professionals. Career management isn’t an occassional event. Find ways to micro-network and make brand deposits to strengthen your reputation in the market.’

‘Take time to slow down and evaluate how your actions are influencing your career goals. There may be things you can start or stop doing that will have a major impact on your success.’

‘Don’t forget how you got where you are. Keep your eyes open for chances to help others attain career success. None of us are successful without the support of others.’

‘Focus on the value you bring to the job rather than the experience you don’t have (yet!).’

‘Clarity comes through action!’
