When trying to identify their ideal career path job seekers often have limiting beliefs or
about their lack of experience, what is realistic and practical or their value to a
prospective employer.
These beliefs can show up in many forms, for example:
“I’ll never make enough money doing what I love. It’s not realistic.”
“It’s not responsible for me to follow my heart in my career. I have to be practical.”
 “I’m not good enough at XX to really make it in the industry I love the most.”
Do these sound familiar? Yours may be different, but they have the same
impact… Having limiting beliefs can cause you to question moving forward with your
ideal career.
Follow these four steps to overcome your beliefs so they don’t hold you back!

You have to know what limiting beliefs you have in order to address them.
Get to know these beliefs instead of pushing them back and resisting them. As the
famous saying goes, “What resists, persists.”
Instead, keep track of what limiting beliefs are most powerful for you.
Awareness is the first step in moving past them.

what you want. – connect with the dream.
 Why does it matter to you?
 How does it make you feel when you think of what you’re passionate about?
 How can you channel that energy into moving forward with your dream, instead of
using it focused on your limiting beliefs?
