ARE YOU HAPPY AND FULFILLED IN YOUR CAREER?
…OR ARE YOU IN “JOB JAIL?”
Do you hop out of bed every morning, eager to greet the new day and get started on the day’s work?
Do you ever enjoy your work so much that you wonder “I can’t believe they pay me to do this!”?
Sometimes you realize that you’ve lost track of time at your job because you’re having so much fun.
Or does this sound more like you?
- You feel like you’re on a never-ending treadmill
- You don’t have enough time in your life to enjoy your family, your home, or your friends
- You feel burnt out, tired all the time, and depressed from your job
- You hate when the alarm clock rings in the morning, especially on Monday
Sometimes we’re so busy making a living that we forget to make a life.
SO HOW DID I GET HERE?
Maybe you got that degree because it was what your parents or someone else thought was the right thing to do. Maybe you hate your work, but you keep doing it because you have bills to pay, and you don’t know how to make a career change.
Besides, it would be a shame to waste all that education, wouldn’t it?
Sometimes success in the business world comes at a high personal cost.
Whether you’re a sales representative, an executive, a lawyer, or a hairdresser, you can be “successful” in your work/life – you make good money – but find that you’re not enjoying your life. You feel like you should be grateful for your blessings, but instead you feel frustrated, bored, and trapped.
Maybe you’re a parent who doesn’t want to leave your children every morning to be raised by strangers while you to head off to your cubicle.
Perhaps in today’s difficult economy, you’re dreading that when budget cuts come, you’ll be the first to go… Or maybe you’re worried that after 20 or 30 or more years of service your company will dump you in favor of a younger worker.
You may even be a student who wonders what the future holds for you. Maybe you’ve realized that you’re just not cut out for the world of academia or for corporate life…
“THERE MUST BE SOMETHING MORE OUT THERE!”
It doesn’t have to be like that!
Imagine what your life would be like without…
- Losing sleep over your job
- Feeling overwhelmed and anxious
- Feeling guilty about time spent with your family and friends
- Endlessly running the corporate or academic Rat Race
I’m here to tell you that it’s possible to escape Job Jail! To leave behind the boredom, the frustration, and the soul-crushing rules and regulations of the 9-to-5 business world, not to mention the stressful commute, office politics, and relentless competition that get you a paycheck but don’t let you build the life you want and deserve.
I also want to tell you that it’s possible to follow your own road and find what Buddhists call your “right livelihood,” working at something that fulfills you – spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually – and create a rewarding life around that.
You deserve to be happy… to do work that feeds your soul… and to have more of what brings you joy in your life. And that’s where I can help you.
WE’LL FIND YOUR TRUE CALLING… AND HOW TO MAKE IT A REALITY!
When you work with me, I’ll show you how to think outside the “Job Box.” We’ll figure out what really makes you tick and discover what things you love to do. Then we’ll brainstorm together to create a solid plan to turn it into a real livelihood that allows you to change course and really take charge of your life.
That may mean switching to a career that you had never considered or didn’t think was possible, but it turns out to be a perfect fit for you. Or it may mean leaving your soul-sucking job and building your own business from the ground up. The possibilities are endless.
So if you want to live your life with meaning, work at what you love, and follow your own path, I can help you get started on that transformational journey to the life you were meant to live.
SOUNDS AWESOME! HOW CAN I GET STARTED?
If you’re ready to live life on your own terms and follow your dreams, just give me a call or drop me an email. We’ll set up a brief “Discovery Session” over the phone. Then if you decide you’re ready to take charge of your own future, we’ll schedule a formal coaching session where we’ll begin to explore what you love to do and figure out as many ways as possible to monetize it. You’ll get solid information to help you take the first steps… and the next… and the next toward achieving your dreams.
BUT WAIT, WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU?
So now you may be wondering if I can actually follow through on the promises I’m making.
I understand that you want to feel confident that you’re investing your money wisely. That’s why I offer a full MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE with this program. If you’re not absolutely delighted (not just satisfied!) with the information I provide you in your coaching session… if I haven’t given you at least one viable business idea to pursue, I will refund every penny. No questions asked.
But I’m not worried about that, because seriously, I think you’re going to be so excited and motivated about the things we discover in our sessions that you can’t wait to get out there and get started!
So what are you waiting for? If the idea of ditching the cubicle, the commute, and the 9-to-5 routine makes you jump up and yell “Hell yes!” call me today at 412.219.2190 or shoot me an email at linda@different-drummer-coaching.com.
And let me help you escape from the Job Box once and for all.
