Go cold turkey. 立刻改行。Suppose you know what you want to do, but you can’t stand being in your current job another day longer. For you, quitting your job outright to do the legwork required to enter a new field may be an option, especially if you have funds stashed away to support yourself during the transition. "If you hate what you do, you may need to quit your job, but don’t create a double angst," says Ms. Fairey. "One thing is to be financially successful, but quitting to change careers creates a bigger burden if you need the money."
Julie Jansen, a Stamford, Conn.-based career coach and motivational speaker, had been a high-level sales and business development executive for national outplacement firms for about eight years, rising to the post of vice president and New York office manager at her last firm. But although she earned a six-figure income, Ms. Jansen says she was "miserable."
She decided to focus on developing a public-speaking career, especially after a friend told her that "the only time I would light up was when I talked about speaking," she recalls. After doing research about this career field for a few months, she quit her job to set up shop as a motivational speaker, career coach and business consultant. "I just cut the cord," says the 40-year-old.
To generate work, Ms. Jansen had lunch with everyone she knew to tell them of her new venture. Slowly the business grew. "I started my business with no business," she says. This strategy works best for executives who are highly motivated and confident in their abilities.
