If you are fearful of career change even though you want this please read on.
Fear of failure is one of the most common irrational fears known to human beings.
What to do about it?
when you catch yourself being pessimistic, negative, look at your beliefs driving this and dispute them comprehensively to change how you explain the way the world works to yourself. It is the same with not feeling 'good enough'.
Ah, you say back, 'but I have failed before'. With some optimism on your part failures do not have to feel like failures. Rather they can be framed as learning experiences.
People that you and I deem to be very successful like Steve Jobs or Richard Branson for example, often talk about having failed a lot in their lives and only succeeding after major setbacks. I like one definition of an expert - 'someone who has made more mistakes than others'.
Persevere in the face of setbacks with your career wants as with other wants in your life.
Ask yourself if you had a short time to live who you want to be. Do you want to be your real self or live your life defined by fear of changing careers?
Speak to yourself kindly and consider what could go right for you as well as the skills that you would bring to bear on your desired career.
It is worth remembering that when we are passionate about what we do, at work and play, we often excel.
Go for it!
