Believe it or not, when the world around you feels chaotic, it may just be the right time to make a career change, especially if you’ve been feeling stuck. While many industries have suffered during the pandemic, many have thrived. Forging your own path, betting on yourself, and making a career change could set up up to be more self-sufficient in the future.
Changing industries
Many have realized that their current industry is just not sustainable in a global pandemic. Many industries stood still and are still standing still, forcing everyone to reevaluate their careers and employment status. While this is incredibly frightening, there is power in taking and chance and changing industries and careers.
One industry that has proven to be both recession and pandemic resistant is the insurance industry. Insurance is consistently in demand and provides plenty of opportunities for people who dream of owning their own business and seeking success in a sustainable and lucrative industry.
The right time to make a career change
Starting a business is a bit like starting a family. You can plan and prepare for the perfect time to start, but that time doesn’t exist. What you need to focus on are your gut and intuition. Ask yourself, are you satisfied with your current position? Are you ready for a new career? Do you have the support of your family and partner? Do you have a bit of capital to get you started?
The right time is whenever you feel ready to take a leap of faith and make a change. The right time is up to you. Your first act as a future boss is to decide that now is the time!
Baby steps to owning an independent insurance agency
Changing careers doesn’t have to be a monumental move that uproots your entire existence. If you’re interested in a career in insurance, you’re never going to jump straight to owning your own agency.
Baby-step your way into a new career. Start off looking for a job for an insurance provider or an independent agency to get your footing, learn the business, and lay a solid foundation. This will also give you a bit of security and a more stable income.
