Bit of a Background:
When I first met Shawn, his go-to phrase was “I don’t have a choice, I have to…” It really showed how he felt trapped and lacking in enthusiasm for life. He felt like he had to keep going without any other options.
Challenges Hindering Shawn:
Through our sessions, Shawn got aware of the barriers hindering his progress-
a lack of clarity, self-doubt, and a disconnect from his true passions and purpose. These obstacles left him feeling off-balance and low in confidence, preventing him from pursuing his long-held dream.
The Ah Ha Moment – Turning Point in Shawn’s Life:
Our collaboration sparked an “ah ha” moment when he realised that he wasn’t truly living, he wasn’t enjoying what he was doing, the motivation and the energy to go further was diminishing – he was merely surviving.
This revelation sparked a newfound determination to break free from his stagnant state and pursue a life aligned with his passions and purpose.
This was his turning point. Recognizing that he couldn’t ignore his calling any longer, Shawn made a bold decision to leave his lucrative city job behind.
With a fresh perspective, Shawn rediscovered the blueprint of his long-held dream, which had been buried and forgotten over time.
Shawn’s Bold Step Forward – Advance In Your Career:
Taking a leap of faith, Shawn made a courageous decision to step into the unknown and pursue his dream of starting his own sustainable living venture.
Choosing to pursue his passion for sustainable living, Shawn founded his own startup. Despite grappling with uncertainty, he found comfort in his decision – “I want a life aligned with my purpose and my values.”
This clarity provided him with the courage to confront his fears and doubts head-on.
Outcome:
Shawn’s journey shows how powerful it is to move past fear and doubt and make big changes.By carefully weighing his options and potential risks, he unlocked a world of new opportunities and possibilities.
His story teaches us that keeping moving forward is key to a fulfilling life and to advance in your career. By embracing change and chasing his dreams, Shawn not only succeeded but also motivated others to do the same.
