105. Starting Over Again- Adopting a Beginner's Mindset For a Career Change after 40 (Replay)
No one ever prepares you for the massive hit to your ego or the frustration that comes with learning a new profession. You may have to deal with learning new technology, grasping new concepts and theories and may even fail a test. However, starting over (again), also means learning and failing. In today’s episode, host Valerie Mekki, a career change counselor, delves into the realities of being a student again as you pivot your new career, start a side hustle, or launch a passion project. She shares the importance of adopting a beginner’s mindset to help you optimize your learning phase and avoid any possibility of derailment or contemplating quitting. She also shares an empowering affirmation to help remind you that you are a student again, and mastery doesn’t happen overnight and is part of the journey toward a new career.
