727: (8 of 8) From Clarity to Action: How to Turn What Fits You Into a Real Career Change | What Fits You

[00:00:00] Scott Anthony Barlow: Eight days ago, you started with a question that you couldn't fully answer at the time. "What kind of work actually fits me?" Now, you've done the work since then, you've looked at your past honestly, you've begun to apply verbiage and names to what it is that you really want, you've held up real opportunities against real criteria, you've even begun to eliminate a few that might not fit.

[00:00:22] Whether this feels like a lot or a little, I wanna just acknowledge for a moment that most people spend years, sometimes literally decades, avoiding exactly what you just did over the last eight days. But these answers are only the beginning. They're not the finish line.

[00:00:36] I told you at the very beginning of this course that this would help you get started, beginning to acknowledge what it is that you want and what are the pieces that fit, and ultimately, trying to build a life that you love and figuring out how work and your career fits inside that life.

[00:00:53] But I wanna acknowledge one more thing. Understanding some of the parts and pieces and then doing that are two completely different things, and is where so many people get stuck. This is day eight, and it's the final day of the What Fits You eight day mini course. If you're just finding this and you started with day eight, I would encourage you to go back in your feed, start with the episode that says introduction.

[00:01:12] It's gonna be about eight episodes back in your feed. Or just click into the link in the show notes and it'll take you right back to the eight day mini course. Now, you're gonna get a lot more of this if you work through it in order. If you've already been here through days one through eight after the introduction, then I wanted to say thank you.

[00:01:30] Thank you for going through our eight day mini course to identify what truly fits you when it comes to work and your life. Now, I also want to acknowledge that if you're at this point, you're probably finding yourself in one of a couple situations. Either you have made a decision for what your next steps are going to be and you know what that's going to look like, or you're physically and emotionally ready to be able to start moving forward and take that step.

[00:01:54] And if so, that's amazing. It's truly awesome. It's, you know, part of the reason we exist as an organization is to help with things like that for you, and I would love to hear about it. I would encourage you to leave a comment below this episode and let us know what is your next step. What are you taking from this?

[00:02:12] Now, just a little tidbit here. If you go into the research, Gallup or as an organization, has done some really phenomenal research around this. Gallup used to publish a study every single year that was called the Jobs Report or the Great Jobs Report. Now, they would have all these different categories in terms of, you know, unengaged, a good job, a great job.

[00:02:32] And a couple of years ago, they got rid of that great jobs category. And I would advocate that what they defined as a great job at the time was actually not even what we're describing as fulfilling work. And the reason they got rid of that great job category was because it was shrinking. The reason why that's important is because if you want fulfilling work that actually fits you, it is incredibly possible.

[00:02:56] It also is something that most of the people in the world do not have. A very infinitesimally small amount of folks have this. Now, our organization exists to be able to help raise that number so that more people can find what work actually fits and then be able to thrive at work. This is something that in today's age should be completely possible, and we want to change that.

[00:03:19] So I think the first way that you can do that is by changing it for yourself. And then once you have done that, then that's where I would invite you to be a part of a much bigger movement and help get other people to work that truly fits them. It creates a much better world, much better way to operate with other people.

[00:03:36] Other people can be better at home, better, you know, spouses, partners, family members, father, mother, and everything else that goes along with it. So step one, it all starts with you. We'd love to support you, help you clarify your goals, what you want to achieve, and help you build a plan. The next step to do that is schedule a conversation with our team. Pause this. Email me now, Scott@happentoyourcareer.com. Put 'Conversation' in the subject line.

[00:04:02] Also, if you haven't made a decision, that's actually perfectly okay. When we started out this mini-course, I told you that that was a possibility. There's a possibility that you would go through and do some of the beginnings of the work to clarify what it is that you want. This is not wasted effort whatsoever.

[00:04:19] And to be quite frank, this is what most people will build on over an entire lifetime. This work doesn't end even after you get a job offer for something that fits, or even after you take an opportunity that is just an amazing fit for the life that you're trying to build. You know, whatever that is for you, it doesn't end there.

[00:04:39] This is a continual refinement process. So part of the real reason for this course is getting you used to going deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper into what it is that you want, what it is that you need, so that you can ultimately build that life that you're trying to. What I think is just absolutely fascinating, and so many people feel like they need to do this themselves.

[00:04:59] Out of the thousands of people that we've worked with to help find their ideal work, 100% of those people realized that they needed extra help in one way or another. Now, usually the eight-day course gets you started, and it leads you toward figuring out what is the next thing. And if you don't wanna do it alone, then this is what we do.

[00:05:16] We love to help people identify what creates their ideal work and life, and then go and make that happen. So if you want some help in implementing what you've learned over the last eight days, and allowing us to help build upon that work, and figuring out what creates an extraordinary life and career for you, then let us help you completely change your life and career.

[00:05:35] And I also wanna just point out that, you know, we've had, at this point, almost 100,000 people through this course. That's pretty crazy to even talk about that. And the vast majority of them came out where they hadn't necessarily made a final decision or were struggling with trying to identify what to do next to keep things moving forward.

[00:05:55] That's okay. I would encourage you to, in one way or another, don't stay stuck. Even if you're gonna choose not to reach out to our team, then do something. Find a friend, find a mentor, find, you know, even a, you know, coworker that is going to help support you in making continual movement on this. Don't stay stuck.

[00:06:15] And if you're not sure what to do, then I would invite you to do what many thousands of other of people have already done and contact our team. You know, we can help you take the work that you've already done and be able to build on it so that, as you have outgrown this last opportunity and whatever that had previously looked like for you, we can pick up where you've left off and then help you define what creates your personal version of extraordinary.

[00:06:42] Now, there's two ways that we can do this. Number one, we've got a variety of free resources, hundreds and hundreds of episodes back catalog that can help you continue to make progress. All of that is free, and we've spent many, many, many thousands of hours creating that just so that it can help people get unstuck.

[00:06:59] Also, if you want more help than that, then of course, we have an entire team built around this to help support you in finding that personal version of extraordinary. So if that's the case, then I would invite you to send me an email directly. That's the absolute easiest way, Scott@happentoyourcareer.com. Put 'Conversation' in the subject line.

[00:07:19] I'll introduce you to the right person on my team. We'll work to understand your goals, what you want to accomplish, and no matter where you're at, we can help you figure out the very best way that we can support you in your situation. We'll help build you a custom plan, and we'll figure out the very best way to move you forward.

[00:07:34] Thanks again so much for spending the last eight days with us. We truly believe that you can find work that fits you. And as I mentioned earlier, at the time of this recording, we've had almost 100,000 people who have completed this course. You are now one of them. From myself and the entire team here at Happen To Your Career, I wanna say thank you. I would encourage you to share this course with somebody who needs it. I'm Scott Anthony Barlow. I'm out. Adios.
