Are you stuck in a Dead end job? OR you are trapped in a job which you don't like but you can't resign because you don't have any other income source. Are you tolerating you toxic manager or stupid colleagues because you have nowhere to escape? If the answer to these questions is yes then this article is for you. I will tell you the right way to get rid of your job and do what you actually wanna do.
Try to figure out what you exactly wants to do
First of all you have to sit down and analyze yourself. And try to figure out whether you are sick of your present job or you hate 9 to 5 in general. This is crucial. Because if you are tired of your present job then you must try for a new job. But if you are fed up with 9 to 5 then its time move forward for self employment or entrepreneurship. You can start working as a freelancer or kick start your business. But first think clearly and make up your mind.
Start taking small steps without waiting
Now if you have decided what exactly you wanna do then start taking small action towards that goal. For example if you want a new job then update your resume start applying to job sites. If freelancing is your goal than start developing your network for freelance work. And if you wanna start something of your own then start working on that idea as well. Start taking action for whatever you want to do. Also keep in mind, do not resign from your present job. Keep your day job in hand and start working on your idea side by side. This will help you for a smooth transition.
Don't reveal your next move to anyone
Once started taking action, try to accelerate your progress everyday. But never ever discuss your goal with any of your friends or colleagues in office. Just be not tempted and keep things to yourself. There are two main reasons for this. First one is psychological, according to which if you tell your goals to others you will be less likely to achieve them. The second reason is that maybe the friend or colleague will not keep things to himself and once the news spread it may reach your boss as well. In that case your boss & company stop trusting you.
Have some financial backup
Whatever you are planning always tries to accumulate enough in savings so that if something bad happen you can survive and pay your bills. Also sometime its near o impossible to continue with your dead end job because you already reached your burnout point. So, in this situation, if you have enough money in your bank you can straight away resign. And then you will get ample time to follow your heart.
Final Thoughts
Never ever stay in a dead end job or any job you dislike. Take small actions every day but at least do something. And save yourself from the trap of your comfort zone. Because some time you become so used to of any environment that you don't take action to change it even if it is toxic. Because once you become used to it, your comfort zone will trap you and you will be stuck there like forever.
