If you want a better job you need better skills. Are you ready to give up time with family and friends to go to school? How about trading Netflix for an online class? Maybe an hour of sleep for an hour of study? Everything comes with a cost. You need to choose which one is the most important to you.

What outside forces can be holding you back? Family? Friends? The factory was good enough for you parents and grandparents. What makes you so special? What's the matter college boy? To good to hang out with us anymore? You will hear these and many others. Your Parents may have had plans different than what you want. Your friends want you back with them. You have to set your sights on a goal and push toward it.

What is keeping you from the career and life that you want? No education? You can take a class on literally anything at any time online. No experience? Find a place and start at the bottom. Most of the time when I ask this question in a face to face interview I keep digging until I get to fear. Humans are programed to fear the unknown. The job you have may suck but it is comfortable. What if I try for a new career and fail? What if you don't? If you don't try you fail. If you don't fail you win. You can always fall back to the level you are at. Give success a shot.

You shouldn't have to be here. I remember spending a semester in high school learning literature. 47 years later no job that I had ever asked me to quote Shakespear. Why instead of teaching me to write poetry, why didn't they teach me how to write a resume? I have interviewed potential employees and found many couldn't tell me what they could even do. What I do in one on one coaching is find out what you can do. Find out what you want to do. And work with you to draw a roadmap(you people that were brought up with GPS just Google road map. It will make sense) to get you from where you are to where you want to be. You still have to walk it. I know we see stories about some influencer that works 1 hour per day and is rich. Don't count on it. Remember the $100000 someone wins on the lottery came from all the people who didn't. Put in the work and you will get where you want to be.

What is your attitude towards the thing you want to change? I will never get into shape, this is the body God gave me. (93 pound weakling prior to joining the Marines). I'm not smart enough to go to college. ( Ended up teaching for a college). They are going to find out I'm not good enough and fire me. (Technician with so many certifications had had an octopus to wear the patches). Those were all me at different times of my life. Prove yourself wrong. If someone on this planet has done it you can.
