A career change isn't just about finding a new job.
It's an identity shift.
You're letting go of who you were.
And stepping into who you're becoming.
That's why it's so hard.

Work-life balance is a myth.
There will always be tension.
There will always be competing priorities.
The goal isn't balance.
It's alignment.
Making sure what you're doing reflects what matters to you.

Talk to people before you apply.
Explore roles before you commit.
Get clear on what you want before you make a move.
Most people do it backwards.
Then they end up somewhere they don't want to be.

Commitment is binary.
You're either in or you're out.
"I'll try" isn't a commitment.
"I'll see what happens" isn't a commitment.
Decide. Then go all in.

Success looks different at 40 than it did at 25.
Your priorities change.
Your values evolve.
But a lot of guys keep chasing the same definition of success they had in their 20s.
That's why they're frustrated.

Stop waiting for someone to give you permission.
Permission to change.
Permission to explore.
Permission to want something different.
You don't need anyone's approval.
Just make the decision.

Momentum doesn't start with a massive change.
It starts with one small decision.
Then another.

It's finding one that's sustainable for you long-term.

Better pay?
Better culture?
Better work-life balance?
