How To Get What You Want Faster!

You’re reading this because you want something to change.

Maybe you want a different career, a better job or more balance in your life.

Understanding how “change” works can help you get what you want faster.

Ellen, a young lawyer, found that creating a powerful mental picture of herself as a partner and visualizing success helped her get through many gruelling nights at the office. It kept her excited about her future.

Picturing success prepares us for change. It also dampens some of the anxiety about moving forward into something new.

Even though thinking about change is a critical part of the change process, many people find themselves stuck in the thinking stage.  In fact, by the time most people come in for career counseling, they have been thinking about their situation for months or even years.

Thinking about what you want without taking action steps can be paralyzing and leave you feeling stuck. To speed up the change process, it’s important to start or continue taking the right action steps.

Even if you have to begun taking action steps you may have encountered roadblocks that have prevented you from moving forward. Other common obstacles to taking action include: being afraid of making a mistake, not knowing what to do, or not knowing what you really want.

Knowing what’s really holding you back and dealing with it will get you unstuck. Change can be hard and if you’re struggling, I guarantee there are good reasons for it.
