3 psychological barriers to your Dream Job

Be brutally honest: When you think about living your Rich Life, is your current To view this email as a web page, [click here]() {NAME}, Be brutally honest: When you think about living your Rich Life, is your current job part of it? I was talking to one of my students who’d been working at the same company for 5+ years. She wasn’t getting a raise or a promotion, and when she’d talk to her boss, there was always a reason: - “It’s not the right time” - “I can’t give it to you because I’d have to give it to everyone” - “Not this year. But hopefully next year” I asked her what she should be making based on her skills and research. She told me a number that was significantly higher than her current salary. I took a look at her and said, “You’ve been doing this dance for 5 years. Asking and asking and getting told no. Do you think anything’s really going to change?” She immediately launched into a long response: “Well, it’s really frustrating becau—” I asked her again. “Do you think anything’s going to change?” She finally looked up. “No.” I asked her what she thought she should do. She already knew. We always know. “I need to make a move.” [Meme] Thinking about that conversation, it occurred to me how few people are really, truly honest with us. Of course we have friends who support us, and that's important. But when was the last time someone held us accountable? When was the last time someone listened to our excuses, paused, and just shook their head, saying, "You know the answer. What do you need to do?” If you’ll let me, I can be that person for you right now. Be prepared: I’m going to ask you to make a move. Is your current job ever going to become your Dream Job? Stop. Think about that. Ask yourself out loud. Is my current job ever going to become a Dream Job? If it is, great! Email me and tell me why your job is so great and how it helps you live your Rich Life. I love positive stories like these. If it’s not… What are you going to do about it? Write your plan down or send me an email. If part of your plan is to join [Find Your Dream Job](), and you follow through on that plan, soon you'll get an email from me, unlocking the full Find Your Dream Job program. You'll start learning some of the most sophisticated material ever created on finding a job, improving your career, and earning more — material that will never be available to the general public. [DJ Playbooks]() Within one hour of diving in, you'll learn insights about yourself you'd never realized. You'll begin down a journey of discovering yourself, your Dream Job, and how to take control of your life. For other people, it'll be decidedly different. They'll go back to their old lives. They'll look at the tactics they've gotten from my free material and wonder … what should I do next? They might try to find a better job on their own — and if they do, I'll be thrilled! But as we know, human nature is a fickle beast. For many, without an ongoing system, the motivation they feel will inevitably wear off. Old patterns. Old lives. Isn't it funny that we get so excited about new ways of doing something … we start reading different sites, different blogs … but when confronted with a real, trustworthy opportunity to help us, we don't act? What do we do instead? We keep struggling with what's never worked. People with problems love to talk about their problems. But people who solve their problems seek out solutions. It's not just that we're lazy. We have powerful, deep invisible scripts that hold us back from taking action — even on things we genuinely want to do! The "code words" behind 3 of our psychological barriers Not only do we use the same phrases to stop ourselves from having to be intentional, year after year, but we fail to ever understand the "code words" behind these phrases. Let me show you. 1. "I don't know what my Dream Job is" This is a perfectly reasonable comment — few of us know what our actual Dream Job is — but there is something more sinister behind this phrase. "I don't know what my Dream Job is" is actually code for: "I'm waiting for my Dream Job to fall out of the sky for me." Deep down, we believe that not knowing what our Dream Job is gets us off the hook … as if someone is just going to walk up to us and hand it to us. Here's the truth: You DISCOVER a Dream Job, you don't just "find" it under a rock. It's a skill that you can learn — just like learning to ride a bike. And the best part is that there is a system for doing it well, proven for more than 10 years and THOUSANDS of students before you. Look, I don't blame you for not knowing what your Dream Job is. Few people do. And they continue plodding along, letting their careers happen to them until they get to 75 and wonder where all the time went. What life would you rather lead? 2. "I'm not ready for this yet" or "I just need to figure it out" Of course there's never a "right time" to jump into something that makes us uncomfortable: - There's never a right time to have a baby - Never a right time to start investing - Never a right time to learn the inside skills and techniques to finding your Dream Job Sometimes, you have to jump into an area you don't feel ready for. You do your homework, of course, but you know that you'll never have 100% of the information you need. You make an informed decision … and then you take a risk. People who are truly living their Rich Life do this all the time. Do they make mistakes? Of course. But they know that trying something is better than the whiners who wait around to have "all the information" … and wait, and wait, while the years keep rolling by and they’re still waiting for their big break. These people take risks and they take action. They start building their skills and network NOW so that when they DO need it, they're ready. If they're wrong, so be it — but at least they made a move. 3. "I'm not sure this is right for me" What this actually means: "I don't know if this course is exactly perfect for someone in my EXACT AND SPECIFIC SITUATION, so therefore I am going to wait until something magical is created for EXACTLY ME … and until then, I'm going to do nothing." There will never be a career course created for your exact, personal, born-in-LA-but-went-to-a-liberal-arts-school-in-Portland-but-then-studied-international-law in-Switzerland-and-now-working-in-accounting situation.
