Settling is not it—what the heart wants, the heart ought to get🫀.

We’ve got to put it to you honestly - the only thing standing between you and your ✨wildest dreams ✨ is you.

You’re in a place where you’ve made all the excuses you could, but they’re beginning to sound lame and tired 😴.

We promise that changing career paths cannot be any scarier 👹 than remaining deeply unhappy in a career that is no longer for you.

If you needed a sign 🚨, here are FIVE in bright flashing neon red.

We would never let you settle.

  1. You're Bored More Often Than Not At Work 😐😐😐

If you’re going to be somewhere for a giant chunk of your day, shouldn’t you be excited to be there🤷🏿‍♀️?

Yes, we're not always ready to jump straight into work every day, but when that becomes the norm, it's time to ask yourself if you need a change🤔 in environment.

Don’t work just to cut a cheque 💲 or for the sake of labouring.

Work can be enjoyable, inspiring, and engaging 🎉. There’s still time for you to decide on something that fufils you.

Take that leap of faith on the count of three — 1, 2, 3… 🐎

  1. The Work Doesn't Feel Worth The Pay Anymore 💴💷💶

In this economy, if even money can’t withhold you from wanting more than it must mean that your current role really isn’t cutting it 🔪.

You're in a place where your salary isn't ranking as highly on your motivations any more, and you’re in need of something more.

Even if you got paid more, you still 👎🏾wouldn't want to be working in the role you're currently in.

Put simply, you can’t use a cheque to cover up the truth. When it’s time to go, it's simply time to go 🙅🏿‍♂️.

  1. Your Job Is Starting To Affect Your Personal Life 😔😔😔

You're getting stressed 😩 more easily, and you feel the tension from your work spilling into your personal relationships.

Something has to give, and it looks as if it’s this ✌🏾.

Work can on ocasion be stressful, but it shouldn’t be overbearing. You deserve a career that brings you peace ☮️  more than it brings you pain and headache.

Believe that there’s a career with your name on it that will be the root of your joy 🤩 instead of your suffering…

  1. You Don't Feel Like You're Making An Impact 🫵🏿🫵🏿🫵🏿

Working just to make money is overrated now 😶.

We live in a world where we can do what we love and love ❤️ what we do. Where work is an opportunity to change the world 🌎 or at least make your mark on it.

So, when work becomes a “Clock In, Clock Out” situation, and it's no longer fulfilling it's time to clock out and STAY out ❌.

  1. You're Constantly Daydreaming About Another Career Path 💭💭💭

Dreams are for children waiting to become adults, foresights are for adults with a clear vision of where they are headed 🚗.

You’ve got a clear picture 📸 of where you want to go, but the career path you're currently on doesn't align with the future you would like to have.

We love to say “it’s just complicated” but often it really isn’t 🙊. It’s time to stop fantasising and start actualising.

As a creative, thinking big is in your blood 🩸, don’t just reduce that skill to a canvas, or utilise it solely for clients—it applies everywhere including right here!

Taking that leap of faith can be daunting, but those nervous jitters are just there to signal to you that something big is on the other side.

What would you do if you knew for certain that it was all going to work out for you? 🤔

Well, take that and run with it because something tells us that it will! 🫵🏿🫵🏾🫵🏽
