How to Get YOUR Dream Job Without a Coach: The Power of Belief and Action

Hey dream job believers,

sometimes there are moments that deeply touch and inspire you as a coach. Inspire you to keep pushing, no matter where and when and to even deeper believe in the power of transformation that you propagate in your daily practice. This moment happened to me in form of a Christmas present (see picture above) sent by Lee on the 24th of December. He had gotten his dream job. Only after one complementary career counseling call we had more than a year ago. Without me being his coach ever after!

How one conversation became the spark for a life-changing career journey

Back in October 2023, I found myself in an unusual setting for a professional call—a backyard with spotty WiFi, visiting the future school of my children for the first time. It was one of those days where life felt chaotic, yet serendipitous. Amid this whirlwind, I had a complementary career counseling call scheduled with someone who would soon remind me of the boundless potential we all carry within us.

On the other side of that call was Lee Gutteridge, someone who was not only open to exploring possibilities but also ready to believe that a dream job wasn’t just a fantasy—it was something real and achievable. Lee’s willingness to embrace this idea struck me immediately. Despite the brief nature of our interaction and the fact that he never formally became a client, what unfolded next is nothing short of inspiring.

The Turning Point: Belief + Action = Transformation

During our call, we discussed strategies and ideas for pursuing his dream career. But what stood out most was Lee’s mindset—his openness to change and his readiness to act on it. After our conversation, he didn’t wait for more coaching or external validation. Instead, he took the insights we shared and ran with them. He worked on his own, stayed committed, and turned his aspirations into reality.

Lee’s story is a testament to something I deeply believe: Sometimes you don’t need a coach; you just need to believe in yourself and do the work. A single conversation can be enough to ignite the fire within you if you’re willing to take action.

Lessons from Lee’s Journey: Your Dream Job Is Within Reach

Lee’s success serves as a powerful reminder for all of us:

• Your dream job is real: It’s not some far-off ideal; it’s attainable with clarity, strategy, and determination.
• Mindset matters: Being open and receptive to new ideas is often the first step toward transformation.
• You are your greatest resource: While guidance can help, the true work lies in your hands. Believe in yourself and take consistent action.
• Every journey is unique: Whether you work with a coach or forge your own path, what matters most is staying committed to your goals.

Here’s to YOUR Dream Career

Lee’s journey fills me with gratitude—not just for being part of his story but for witnessing what’s possible when belief meets execution. To anyone reading this who feels stuck or uncertain about their career path: Your dream job is closer than you think. Sometimes all it takes is one conversation, one idea, or one moment of clarity to set you on the path to success.

So here’s to YOU—your dreams, your potential, and your ability to make it happen. Whether you seek guidance or decide to go it alone, remember: YOU GOT THIS.

Let Lee’s story inspire you to take that first step toward your #dreamcareer today!
