Fear.less Magazine - the big 'why' and how to manage your career change fears

By Sab

Feeling fearful about your career change? Worried about your finances or jittery about potentially making the wrong move?

The latest issue of Fearless magazine shares personal stories of those who have faced their fears and overcome them - all very relevant material for anyone making a career change.

Zappo's CEO Tony Hsieh explains how he overcame his fear of public speaking. His way of tackling his fear can show how you can approach fears you may have about networking, pitching or going to interviews.

Paralympian Josh Sundsquist talks about the importance of the big ‘why’ - the motivating factor that makes you determined to meet your goals. His interview may help you if you haven’t yet been able to commit to a possible new career direction.

Writer Laura Vanderham talks about how to use your time efficiently rather than waste it (helpful if you’re using a lack of time as a reason to not change career!).

A great and inspiring read, check out Fear.less here.
