Walking Away From the Big Bucks in the Pursuit of True Balance | Print |  Email
Written by Shann Vander Leek   

I packed my box, said so long to the big bucks, turned in my company SUV, let go of a cushy expense account, and found the courage to walk away from a career that no longer suited me.

Fast-forward one year...

Being in the business of helping people recognize their brilliance is a blast! The focus for the rest of my days will be about helping people do the things they think they cannot do. And, the BIG BUCKS will come again without a doubt. All the characteristics that made me a success in corporate America will benefit me as an entrepreneur. It's all about balance and moving gracefully through a ginormous transition.

This caterpillar has become a butterfly.

Seven Strategies to a Graceful Career Transition

1. Figure out your passion and allow a minimum of 12 months for the transition.

2. Involve your family and close friends

3. Allow for short term setbacks

4. Get your finances in order and create a new household budget

5. Set clear and specific dates of completion for each part of the transition

6. Remain flexible

7. Find humor in your current environment
