Mitch Matthews | The 15-Minute Experiment: A Key to finding your dream job! This week, Mitch talks about a key strategy from his new book, Dream Job: Redefined.  It’s a concept that helped many of the 200+ people he interviewed get unstuck and break out of the rut they were in.  More importantly, it enabled them to get on track to create or find their dream job.  This simple but powerful strategy won’t cost you a penny and you can start in 15 minutes! Listen To The Podcast: We’ve all felt it.  That feeling of being stuck. Maybe things aren’t terrible… but things aren’t right either.    You’re feeling like you’re in a rut. BUT… do you want to know a secret about that feeling?   When I interviewed the 200+ people for my new book, Dream Job: Redefined, many of them told me they’d experienced that exact feeling.   More importantly, they were REALLY grateful for it! Why? Well… that was the feeling that finally made them start to make the changes they needed to make in order to eventually find or create their dream job. That “STUCK-ness” (my word)... was the catalyst for them to start. BUT here’s a second secret. NONE of the people I interviewed wound up taking some crazy blind leap of faith.  Not one.  Nope.  Instead they almost all tried a strategy that I talk about in this week’s episode of DREAM THINK DO. If you want to shake the feeling of STUCK-ness… listen in. It won’t cost you a penny.  You can start immediately.  So… dig in and give it a try. By the way… I shared this concept when I was being interviewed by a podcaster from London.  His response was, “Bloody heck… that’s so simple but I love it.” Okay… he might have said something different than “Bloody heck,” but he did love it. I think you will too. And hey… leave a comment and let me know what you’re going to do with YOUR next 15-minute experiment.  I can’t wait to hear from you! Mitch

Mitch Matthews | Bridge Jobs: The key to finding your dream job This week, Mitch Matthews helps you to answer the question: “How do I get there from here?” In his research for his upcoming book, “Dream Job: Redefined - The New Rules for Creating a Career that Matters and Doing Work You Love,” he found story after story of people either finding or creating their dream job. The key was that they started with what Mitch calls a “Bridge Job.” In this episode, Mitch will explain what a Bridge Job is, why you need one, how to select one and/or how to retrofit your current job into one. This powerful strategy has helped countless people get unstuck and finding a career that matters and work they love. Please share this powerful episode. Listen To The Podcast: He looked polished and professional.  But… deep down... his eyes were sad. His question was, “So how do I get to my dream job from where I’m at now?” My response “Find a Bridge Job.” I understood his question.  He wasn’t in a dream job.  He didn’t love his work and he didn’t feel like his work really mattered.  He longed for a career where he could feel passion for what he did on a day to day basis… but he wasn’t there. More importantly, even though he was unfulfilled in his current work… he didn’t have a ton of spare time or spare cash.  He couldn’t just take a month off to “find himself.”  He couldn’t just quit and take some blind leap of faith.   He had responsibilities.  He had things (and people) he needed to take care of. So… he needed a “Bridge Job.” What’s a “Bridge Job?” I cover it in this week’s DREAM THINK DO episode.  Plus, I talk through how to either find a Bridge Job or retrofit your current job into a Bridge Job… so you can finally get to your next Dream Job.  And don’t worry… this isn’t some airy-fairy approach pointing you to some unrealistic… cotton candy… rainbow-puffy-print type dream job.  (Although cotton candy is pretty tasty.)   Nope.  I used this approach myself to launch my own dream career.  Plus, in all my research for my upcoming book, “Dream Job: Redefined,” I saw this same strategy used by many of the people I’d interviewed who’d either FOUND or CREATED their own dream jobs.   So I wanted to share it with you! Enjoy… and let me know what stands out to you.  Leave a comment and let me know which part of this approach you’re going to try. Keep bringing your awesome, Mitch

Mitch Matthews | Should You Quit? This week, Mitch Matthews helps you to answer the question: “Should I quit my job?”   This is one of the biggest questions people ask Mitch as they consider whether they should quit in order to pursue a dream of turning a side business into their full time work.  He’ll help you to figure out what your “Leap Number” is so you can make the decision to LEAP for the dream with confidence!  This strategy will also help you to have discussions with the important people in your life about this big decision.  Please share this powerful episode. Click Here For Leap Number PDF Download!  Listen To The Podcast: I was speaking at a conference.  After my keynote, a woman approached me. She smiled and then asked, “So… do you think I should quit my job?”  Click Here to Download   It was the first question out of her mouth and it set me back.  I think she picked up on my surprise but she continued.   “You talk about going after your dream job and I’ve got a side business that I love.  I’m just not sure I’ll be able to pay the bills with it if I go full time.  But with my day job, I don’t really have enough time to devote to it.  So, what do you think?  Should I quit my current job to pursue my dream?” My response was quick.   I simply said, “You need to figure out your LEAP NUMBER.” She was a little puzzled but asked, “What’s a Leap Number?” I explained that your ‘Leap Number’ is an equation I use to help people figure IF and WHEN they should quit their job to pursue a dream.   I used it.  In fact, my Leap Number helped me to decide when I should quit my safe-but-bad-fit job and pursue my own business full time.  My Leap Number helped me to make the decision with confidence and to know the time was right!  (And remember… I’m a recovering-worrier… so that REALLY helped!) I’ve also shared this Leap Number strategy with tons of my coaching clients who were making the same decision and it helped them to not only decide when the time was right… but it also helped them to have conversations with the important people in their lives. In this episode… I walk you through: What is a Leap Number? Why do you need one? How do you calculate yours? One other key concept that can make or break this decision! Listen in, download the PDF and figure out YOUR Leap Number. Also, if you know someone who is weighing out this decision… please share it with them.  They’ll thank you! And hey… if you have any questions or feedback on this Leap Number equation… leave a comment below.  I LOVE hearing from YOU! Enjoy. Mitch
