There are so many different reasons why a person might want to change careers.
Maybe you lost your job earlier this year amidst the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe you find yourself increasingly frustrated by the demands of a 9 to 5 job. Or maybe you’re at the edge of burnout and simply don’t have a passion for the work you’re doing anymore.
The good news is: You aren’t stuck! Now may be the perfect time to pivot into a new career. Let’s talk about how.
Signs You May Need a New Career
I mentioned a few scenarios above, but there are many different signs that may pop up when you need to pivot away from the work you’ve been doing.
Do any of these sound familiar?
- Even new projects leave you feeling dread rather than anticipation.
- You can’t see yourself in this position a year or two down the road.
- Your physical or mental health are suffering due to strains or stresses of work.
- Your employer doesn’t seem to understand or care about the realities of parenting in the COVID-19 era.
- You lost your job or believe your job may be on the cutting block.
- You don’t feel fulfilled with the work you’re doing or feel as if what you’re doing doesn’t fit within your overall plans.
Why the Role of Franchisee Might Be Your Next Move
If any of the signs I’ve listed out above sound familiar or you’re thinking of pivoting into a new career for another reason, I’d encourage you to look into franchising.
For many people looking for work outside the normal confines of a 9 to 5 job, the role of franchisee is a good fit.
Franchising allows you to become your own boss, giving you the much-needed flexibility to parent and carve out boundaries, while also you to do meaningful work and have work that fits well into your overarching career plans.
