EP.4 Overcoming the Three Fears of Leaving Your W2 Job, with Brian O’Neill
Overcoming the Three Fears of Leaving Your W2 Job, with Brian O’Neill
In today’s Solocast episode, I discuss how many people feel stuck in their jobs and find it hard to break free. This is usually a result of the wrong mindset stemming from fears and the stories we create.
With the right mindset, you can learn new ways to make money and have it work for you instead of you working for money. This happens when you stay motivated and have the right people around you.
Tune in to find out how you can overcome the three most common fears keeping you from your W2 Prison Break!
Three blocks/fears around leaving your W2 job
[01:52]
The three most common blocks are Mindset, Money, and Motivation. We’ll call it the 3Ms.
How to work on your mindset (first M)
[04:50]
Most people stay in jobs they don't like because of a fixed mindset. They are not ready to learn new skills and find other ways to make money. With a fixed mindset, you feel stuck in that situation forever. Work on your attitude by getting educated and doing things differently. You can develop the growth mindset.
The money issue (second M)
[08:44]
The fear of losing money is enormous for higher income earners who want to shift careers or start a business. You need to find what you can live on or an alternative means to cover your expenses.
If you are not making mistakes, you are not growing. You can leave that W2 job with benefits and focus on what you can do. Besides, you need the right people to lift you when taking risks. You need to find passive ways of making money, and money will start working for you.
Motivation: The Why (third M)
[14:05]
You need to have clarity as to the reason why you are doing this. Motivation will carry you through if you have the right Mindset, People, and Why. Clarity is essential when you want to leave your W2 job, which will help you break from your prison.
