My 10 Year Challenge

In 2010, I was working in retail as a hot chicken assistant.

Standing behind a chicken counter at my not so local supermarket. 

It was the only job I'd ever done, straight out of school. 

I only ended up in retail because I had no idea what I wanted to do instead. 

Unlike those that grew up knowing what they wanted to do when they got older... 

I was clueless!

So I thought getting a job and earning some money was a great idea. 

Surely I'd figure it out as I go along, right? 

Well, little did I know I'd spend nearly a decade "figuring it all out". 

Because with each passing year... it became harder to get out. 

• I started to believe that it was all I could do, after all, it was all I'd ever done? 
• I was scared that maybe retail was all I was actually good at? 
• I had very little time to think about what I wanted to do instead.
• And on top of that, I had no idea where to start

Only 2 years ago, I felt stuck, lost and helpless in retail. 

But roll on to 2020, and things are very different! 

I've spent the last 2 years putting my doubts behind me and created a life that I've always wanted. 

Since then;

• I've landed a new career outside of retail helping disadvantaged people get back into work. 
• Started my own career coaching business, that helps people get out of retail and land careers they love too. 
• No longer need to work unsociable hours, weekends and stupidly long days - just because I have to!
• And I get rewarded and appreciated for the work that I do! 

And how did I finally figure it all out? 

I'll be honest, I spent 2 years learning what it took to land a new career in a completely different industry. 

I had many failures along the way like...

Applying for over 100 jobs and hearing nothing back. 

Being told by recruiters I was only suitable for retail positions. 

Believing I had to start from the bottom if I wanted to change careers. 

And going after jobs I didn't really want. 

I eventually discovered what it took to not only discover careers I could do...

...but what it took to land them too!

And if you're in the same place that was, feeling lost, stuck and unable to move forward?

Well, you don't need to go through the painful process I went through. 

Because on the 6th of January, I'm running a FREE 5 Day Event in my Facebook Group. 

And I'm going to show you what I learnt and used to "figure it all out" for myself. 

The aim of this event is to help you see that there are careers you can do outside of retail.

Ones that you'll enjoy and you can realistically do. 

And It'll only take 30 minutes of your time each day (because after all, we don't have enough time as it is right?). 

It's stuff I wish I knew much earlier in the decade just gone! 

It starts in two days time, so if you want to get involved make sure you join using the link below.

I want to make sure that when you look back on the next decade...

...you too can say, you finally got out!
