Making a Transistion... 4 Steps to Success

So you want to make a transition into a new field. How do you go about doing it.

1. Start by finding all of the successful people in your sphere of influence that are doing what you aspire to do. I have been looking at a new venture and to this date I have interviewed five people. Four are successful at it one is not, but may be successful if he keeps working at it.

2. Count the cost in real numbers. What will the actual cost be to start the transition. Don't cheat! Even count time away from your family which will have a impact. Many people don't reasonably look at this because we want to see the success in it. Always remember that success is in the details.

3. Give yourself a time allotment and plug through when it is hard. F. Scott Fitzgerald said: "Don't confuse a single defeat with a final defeat." Think of all you have learned through grinding in the trenches and to give up now would be to waste precious hard earned insider information.

4. Be a research hound. You can find information everywhere. Wikipedia, Google, Investors Business Daily, Local Blogs. These are just a small sample. You would be amazed at what you kind find on the net. Especially look at discussion or forum groups in a particular field. You can find people asking the same kinds of questions that you are asking.
