I found fear.less stories a few months ago and some of the people they interview have amazing insight and wisdom that could help you with your career change.
The site produces free downloadable magazines each month and they are always worth a read (and like me you may find yourself highlighting choice insights).
They also have a zippy blog with related posts, so if you're dealing with your fears and limiting beliefs about career change at the mo, get yourself to their site!

Anyone else watch the London Marathon at the weekend? What a shot of inspiration! I’m always in awe of the older runners, this year the oldest man and woman to finish were 86 and 83 years old respectively. Definitely an alternative option to golf, fishing and gardening if you’re planning your retirement.

This week I’ve been thinking about forced change - I talk about how sometimes even if we want to make a change, we can procrastinate and it can take an externally-forced change to finally set us in motion. And I have some new career change article links for you.

My new job as a recruitment consultant was a great learning opportunity and I was hugely grateful for the income, but after the novelty of the first few months wore off, I was faced with the reality that this just wasn't the career for me - not for the long-term. It was back to the drawing board and time to come up with a new plan... More
