Someone, somewhere, is posting right this minute about a side hustle that can make me rich. Somebody else is describing the next best way to generate a passive income stream I can retire on now. The internet is full of career change advice.

A changing vocation might not have been on the cards before 2020 for many, but the effects of the current pandemic on the global workforce is changing minds. In the US, nearly 20% of people working in non-office based jobs intend to leave their employment for greater job security and benefits due to the effects of Covid-19. Around half of the UK’s workforce would like to change their career — 5 million of these are looking to turn a hobby into a way to make money.

The problem is that we start with the end in mind too often when it comes to switching careers or setting up new income streams. It’s easier for me to say, ‘I want to be a property investor’ and then to try and piece together the steps and resources I need to get there than it is to identify what I’m already doing well and build up from that. Stephen R. Covey said:

“You can’t talk your way out of a problem you behaved your way into”.
