Life is never going to offer the “right” time to take decisions, especially around big decisions like changing jobs / employers. There will never be the perfect time.

Being prepared and being ready are two different things. You can be prepared as all get out, but, if you’re doing things that matter, things that push your limits, things that are seemingly impossible, it doesn’t matter what you ever do. You’ll never be ready.

You can prepare as much as you want, but you won’t be ready to do the impossible until you decide to actually take the steps to do it. None of us are.

If you’re constantly considering your next career steps and doing nothing about it, then you’ll never feel ready or achieve what you want to. The chances are you are being pulled by excitement, achieving goals and being pushed by confusion and fear at the same time.

It’s natural to feel uncertain and experience the fear of the unknown when considering moving jobs, but you have already overcome that in your current role.

Let me assure you of this: how will you ever know if you don’t make the first step and test your skills and experience within the job market.

You can plan, delay, make excuses, but trust me unless you make that step in making the decision to commence your new job search & engaging with professionals like Daly Recruitment (who can assist you and guide you) you won’t move forward to achieve your new job / career development goals..

To leave a little food for thought, I will summarise the habits of successful people into one phrase: successful people start before they feel ready.

“Don’t wait. The time will never be ‘just right’. Start where you stand and work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.” — Napoleon Hill
