I was asked yesterday – is it bad to stay in a job you hate?
No doubt, nearly half of us have worked in jobs that we would say “I really hate my job” while another 1/3 are not really excited by their job – boredom might be the best way to label those jobs.
Coping with a job you hate may seem like the best solution, but what is the impact of giving up on a dream to get a job you love? To constantly battle the underlying frustration and helplessness associated with a job that you hate?
The first thing to realize is that having a job you hate will do YOU damage, there is a toll that the underlying emotions that go along with hate, desperation and anxiety have on your body and mind.
The most destructive part about it is the lack of control which comes from the feeling that you are stuck and MUST settle for working in the job you hate even though deep down you know that it is affecting you emotionally and physically.
This is important – it is not the day-in, day-out wear and tear of going into a work when you hate your job so much as it is not having a hope or plan to break free of this frustrating situation.
THE KEY TO ESCAPING YOUR HATED JOB
So, what you need to work on first is getting through that lack of control.
In other words, even though right now you need the job to pay the bills and can’t make any sudden rash decisions, you can take back control starting this minute and put in place a plan to find something you DO really love and how the money side of that works.
I don’t mean just “dreaming”, instead you need to begin learning, planning and designing an alternative to the job you hate. Once you have an alternative to shoot for, suddenly your hated job is “temporary” until you can work your way into the new life you are planning.
When we have entrepreneurs who join us inside Information Marketer’s Zone they want to know how quickly they can quit their job.
More important is how quickly we get help them learn about the alternative of setting up their own internet business, know how to make money on the internet, develop a solid plan to work their income to a level where they are now meeting their lifestyle needs and desires…then they can kiss that hated job goodbye forever.
What happens is AMAZING!
The power you gain through knowledge and a solid plan for replacing the job you hate is itself empowering, healing and life changing.
By simply taking these steps followed by putting together a plan to work toward that change, you are overcoming the single most destructive part of hating your job.
Suddenly, staying at your job for a month or two more months while you work at building your own internet business is nothing compared to what you have been going through for years. You can finally escape the job you hate and you know it is days away…think about how powerful that can be?
