The hosts discuss leaving an unsatisfying career. Before you make the leap, prepare: join a writing group, practice the work, build skills first. Put the parachute on before you jump.
How do you know when to walk away from the wrong path?
Leaving the business world 25 years later was more like preparing myself like this. I have said this to friends who are talking about having other passions and things and just continuing to work for a while more for more money. Start to prepare like these are your passions. Do something like if you want to write join a writing group like do it get yourself ready for when that step comes because if you don't you're not going to be able to make it. You're not gonna be able to make the step because you have no preparation for it. So I would say if you have some other passion do it as well like real like seriously so that you're preparing yourself to be able to do it as what you do.
I love that to use our experiences and to understand preparation before you make a leap like put the parachute on before you jump pack the parachute your.
