Career reinvention isn’t just for the young. Some experts predict the average American will have 12 jobs (or more) in their lifetime. So mapping out a future that makes you happy is one of the best investments of time and money you can ever give yourself. Guessing is not really an option.
Have you wasted years (or even decades) working hard, trying to provide more for your family - only to now find yourself out of work or frustrated in a dead-end job?
Does your heart, and stomach, ache every day knowing that God is calling you to do more, to BE MORE? And are you so confused about how to find where you BELONG…and how to get there?
What if you could create that Cinderella moment where a hiring manager yells, "OMG you're EXACTLY who we've been searching for!"?
Do you want to STOP spinning your wheels and figure out what ONE THING you really do best?
Are you ready to unlock opportunities to stop chasing and start attracting who you really deserve to work with (and who will be thrilled to work with you?)
Wouldn't it be awesome if you could get paid well doing what you really love?
Hi, my name is Pat Roque, and those are questions I used to ask myself as well. I know how you feel because when it's time to move on, it's hard to ignore the bell ringing in your head.
Once the genie is out of the bottle, it's hard to stuff her back inside!
Just imagine if you had that ability to pivot in your career path with confidence: what would you do? How would that instantly change your life and business for the better?
Unfortunately, career transformation isn't as easy as sprinkling pixie dust and the perfect gig magically appears.
Even career expert @LizRyan says that we are ALL entrepreneurs in a way, even if you have just one client who pays you a regular salary in your j-o-b. Either way, YOU have to drive the bus. YOU have to chart your best direction. Because if you don’t, someone else WILL.
Have you wasted months (or years) endlessly trudging through Monster, Indeed & Glass Door? Have you sent dozens (or hundreds) of boring, cookie cutter resumes for opportunities that didn’t pan out?
Doing more of the same will NOT change anything!
Truth be told, you probably have great credentials but you story telling needs help. Don’t get bogged down with the minutia of your previous jobs (where you were underutilized and not so happy in the first place). That’s why most people end up selling themselves into situations where they don't fit in and struggle to succeed. You often have to pivot AGAIN when you focus too much on the wrong things (like making money vs working where you find joy and perform at YOUR BEST).
On the flip side, one of my friends has been super successful, kicking ass in our younger days, but now finds that he's outgrown his role. It's no longer the right fit. There's no need for a 40-something or 50-something sales guy to be out till the wee hours, doing Fireball or tequila shots and entertaining youngster clients 5 nights a week as is required in that business. Sometimes, not everything is broken but you just KNOW that it's time to move on.
Talk about "career transformation overload" . . .
If you've ever felt frustrated with career transformation, then I can relate to you perfectly. It's exhausting.
Just like you, I struggled with finding my true calling - until I found the secret. And I created a unique way to empower you, too.
I took the online strengths assessment and was BLOWN away at how spot-on accurately it helped me see my gifts to the world. DATA that compares me to 17 million others brought me indisputable clarity: I got crystal clear on what I was BORN to do best. It’s why I ROCK!
I now see why I was so frustrated trying so hard to fit in roles or teams that were not leveraging my innate strengths and talents. Work/life balance was a joke; It felt like I was selling my soul just to bring home a paycheck. Life was miserable because the harder I tried, the more exhausted and frustrated I felt. It was a constant, uphill battle. I made buckets of money and loved my clients, yet the disgust with our company's value system literally made me sick. My family suffered through my misery, too. Talk about disconnecting from my WHY!!
Finally, I was able to create that Cinderella moment where my clients say, ”OMG you're EXACTLY who I've been searching for!” A new client just call me a godsend. Folks often tell me I’m exactly the help they’ve been praying for. It happens all the time, now that I’m serving from my heart and working in my zone of genius.
I started telling my friends, family members, and business associates about those results; what happened next shocked me.
Some people were BEGGING me to show them how they could gain surprising clarity on their top 5 strengths, how to use them to thrive in their zone of genius and create a career path that honors their sweet spot (while ending the frustration that haunted them for years). Getting clear, and unstuck, opened the door to amazing new revenue streams. The answers around what to do next flow readily now, I'm on a fast trajectory.
Others were really skeptical that it was even possible . . .
