Are You ‘Switch-Jobbing?’

indecisionI was struck by inspiration today after speaking with someone I am helping transition from their 9-5 work day, 40 hour week to living her passion and ultimately creating income from it.  It all relates to Real Estate investing because let the truth be told that it is very challenging to  leave your day job and live from your real estate 5 or 6 years in … for MOST people.

But, on the other hand, I would also suggest it’s very important to look at how your ‘regular’ life is affecting your future success.  Let’s put Real Estate Investing aside for a moment because I don’t believe it is something you or I are truly passionate about … what we ARE passionate about is  the RESULTS you get from it.

And here’s a tell-tale sign you’re doing what you are ‘supposed’ to be doing.

I call the process – switch-jobbing; what that means is, some people start up a part time gig at night or on the weekends that is usually centered on what they love to do.  It begins as a hobby or just to “unplug” from the mundane day-to-day stuff and eventually, they are immersed in it.

But it’s not bad is it?  It’s actually kinda cool to be addicted to something you love right? What is happening before you know it is that you are living a passion that IGNITES you … you find yourself thinking about it when you go to sleep and when you wake up in the morning … as well as all day long.

However the next work day rolls around and you switch back to your regular work … but then something changes a few months after starting this side-line of yours; you feel like you hit a wall the minute you step into your work environment … co-workers become a touch more annoying because it’s the ‘same ol’, same ol’.

You wander and day-dream … suddenly waiting for 5pm for a different reason … it’s NOT to stop working, it’s to start MORE work on what you love.

You’re Switch-Jobbing is No Longer Working

… and, in my opinion, it’s the very apparent sign that you need to move on and follow what drives you.  What does sitting in a desk job for instance, do for you if all you are doing is waiting for 5pm to roll around?  What really are you contributing to yourself?

I totally get that we all need to eat, a place to sleep and clothes on our backs, but I don’t think it’s a reason to give up your soul either.  You and I can slowly move from being a constant, faceless person in the realm of society, to standing out from the rest doing what we love like no-one else can.

I’ve personally done it, trading major ‘security’ to pursue what I believe is why I am on this planet and I have witnessed the slow growth of clients also suggesting they take the final leap from their ‘day-job’ because their ‘switch-jobbing’ is doing more harm than good.

Where are you with your switch-jobbing?  Is there a reason you still do it?  Maybe we can hammer this out together…drop me a note below!!!
