How To Go From Career Crisis To Job Satisfaction

Five tips for escaping the 9-5 and the boss from hell

Are you feeling dissatisfied with your current job? Do you hate waking up each morning to face another day at work? You’re not alone. Many people find themselves in careers that drain their energy and enthusiasm and desire something more rewarding.

Often, our subconscious knows what we need before we do. Do you experience headaches, have trouble sleeping, feel burnt out, or have feelings of depression and low self-esteem? These are common signs that your body’s telling you your job isn’t right for you. Staying in a job that doesn’t fulfil you can be bad for your health and mental well-being.

Millions of people are just like you – they feel stuck in an unfulfilled, dead-end job or jump from one career to the next. Many want to escape the 9 to 5 or think they’re too old to pursue their dreams and are afraid to do anything about it.

But what if you could change all that? What if you could wake up each morning excited about the day ahead – knowing that you’re working toward something meaningful and rewarding?

5 techniques to improve your work life balance

#1 Gain greater clarity about what you want to change

Remove yourself from the environment and externalise what it is you want to be different.

#2 Identify your criteria for job and life satisfaction

Build a strong foundation for career happiness and success.

#3 Clarify your passions, interests, values, transferable skills, and natural talents

Identify possible roles you would enjoy using your listed skill-set.

#4 Confirm and play to your strengths and natural talents

No need to learn new skills or gain qualifications – unless this is the reason why you want to leave your current position.

#5 Escape the 9-5, live and work anywhere, anytime

Work the hours you make in an environment you set

#6 Your Next Step

There's a world of opportunity waiting for you. To get it, you just need guidance to take you down the right path - that's where I come in.

Meet John M

John worked in the advertising world for many years creating ads for digital agencies. He worked long hours and often at weekends, just to meet deadlines. The fast-paced environment eventually took its toll, John felt he wasn’t as excited about the industry as he once was. John was in his forties and felt like he didn’t fit in with the majority of his colleagues who were all in their twenties – They weren’t very inclusive and made him feel old and outdated.

I’m including John’s story here because it’s a fast and effective way to understand how each of the 5 tips mentioned above work in the real world so you can start to maximize all 5 yourself.

John wanted to get clear on what he wanted to change and with my support, he got the clarity he needed – he wanted out of the 9-5 life. We found what his criteria for job and life satisfaction were too – he wanted to work for himself and choose the hours he worked. Using the creative skills he had developed, he listed new roles he would enjoy. He played to his talent strengths and chose to be a children’s author and illustrator. He writes and draws wherever he may be on that particular day, sets his own hours, is his own boss and enjoys the freedom he so longed for so that he can play his guitar whenever he likes.

Whether you're in a job you hate, facing redundancy, or simply want to be your own boss, starting your own business has many benefits, from boosting your confidence and self-esteem to improving your overall health and mental well-being. It's about more than just creating a new business – it's about creating the life you desire.

Adam Gibbs Your Personal Development & Business Coach

I created my first business in 2004, a year later I was awarded an enterprising award for the best business in the area. However, in 2009 I had to close up shop due to the crash of 2008. I then went from one disappointing day job to the next. Never satisfied, I would leave after a couple of years hoping the next one would be better, but deep down I knew that working for others and being told what to do wasn’t for me. This went on for years, and my family was getting anxious – my dad would say, “You’re not getting any younger.” Then, after a near-death car accident, I gave in to my inner desire – I finally admitted to myself; that something had to change, I had to get back on track.

During recovery, a friend suggested I read the book, The Art Of Happiness. This began my journey of discovering what happiness really is. I spent the next few years studying the best coaches and business people in the world. As I healed, I gained clarity, and my own self-development improved. I became physically stronger and mentally healthier. My vision of my future grew clearer – but I had to make it work because working in another dead job, doing the 9-5 for someone else was definitely not what I wanted to do.

In my mid-forties, I earned qualifications and became a development coach and business mentor. I knew from what I learned, and my past experiences I could guide others – give them the courage to go after their dreams. Show them that they can be whatever they want to be and start a business that is not only successful but makes them feel good too.

I can help you find what makes you excited, figure out what you’re good at, and build the confidence you need to succeed. My goal is to help you become a great business owner, help you overcome your doubts and fears, and gain the right mental attitude so that you can launch your dream business. Experience my genuine motivation and support to guide you through your start-up journey.
