Lisa comes on to discuss her insights and strategies on how you can overcome your fears and insecurities when it comes to making a successful career transition.    QUOTES “Really it comes down to you trusting your inner being and trusting yourself to make that transition. Imposter syndrome. As you talked about, there's a lot of people that have that, even though they know they have the skills and knowledge and honestly, I've gone through those doubts.” – Lisa Arthur “And that's just what you have to do, you have to make a decision. And either way would have been hard, because being the victim thing would have also been hard, because I wouldn't have made the money, I wouldn't have been successful, I wouldn't have learned a lot of things.” – Lisa Arthur “I try not to let fear stop me from pursuing other avenues. That's been kind of a lifelong thing that I've had, as far as like this need to discover new possibilities, especially right now, with the pandemic, now is a wonderful time to be exploring different options.” – Lisa Arthur   TIMESTAMPS [02:26] Diversifying career streams [06:12] Enjoying your job despite the challenges [09:19] Learning lessons with career transitions [14:34] Getting into more of an active productive path [17:17] Common fears as people transition into new programs [23:17] Decision making and risks [26:53] Action steps if you are unhappy with your career [31:04] Stay the course when you feel frustrated [35:17] Regrets or no regrets; living with your choices [41:13] Final piece of career pivoting advice [42:47] Lisa’s big career challenge and how she overcame it   RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS Lisa Arthur Social Media:Website Instagram Chan With A Plan Max Chan on Social Media
