Before making any kind of change, especially a career change, you need to make sure that your house is in order. This includes having financial stability and creating a support network of friends and family to keep you motivated.
One of the ways to help you plan for a career transition is to work with a financial planner. This can really be beneficial to you as it directly impacts your bottom line.
I had a great conversation recently with my career coaching client, Eric Mangold. He coached with me about a year ago and has now landed his dream job. His financial services company provides their clients with an innovative and holistic approach. I was really impressed by it. You can check it out here:

It’s very different from what I’ve heard from most financial planners. This is a great way to get your finances in order at any time during your career planning. Way to go Eric! You’re an inspiration to all of us.

I love the idea of keeping all your financial information, money flow, documents and retirement goals in one secure place. I also loved the presentation—it was clear and concise.
I do agree that we need to take calculated risks before leaving a job—that it is why I like to advise people to take small steps everyday to move toward your dream job. For example, take a class, seek networking opportunities, read books and news articles to stay up to date, etc..
Great idea! Thank you for commenting.
