273 Sara Bliss: Taking The Leap Into Your Dream Job or Business

Aug 26, 2019

When your job no longer exists or you are ready for change, how do you pivot careers successfully?

Sara Bliss is a freelance writer and New York Times bestselling author who writes profiles on the topics of business, health, beauty, design, and travel. Sara is the author and co-author of eleven books including Hotel Chic at Home, Pretty Powerful, and Beauty from the Inside Out. A former senior writer for Yahoo, Sara’s articles have appeared in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Town & Country, and Refinery29.

In her conversation with us, Sara discusses her new book, Take The Leap: Change Your Career, Change Your Life, which includes over 60 stories of successful individuals who left their current position and took the leap into their dream career. We explore the common characteristics Sara discovered as she interviewed people for the book, how to prepare yourself before taking the leap, and why simply following your passion is a bad idea.

Sara also shares her own experience as a writer when the newspaper and magazine industry transformed and her job was eliminated. She speaks candidly about the financial considerations and how she has been able to build a successful career by expanding her scope and reach.  

Key Takeaways

  1. 70% of the people interviewed are making more money now than in their previous career.
  2. At some point you have to get comfortable with the concept of risk.
  3. Instead of focusing on the potential for future, consider the risk if you don’t take the leap, as well as all the amazing things that could happen if you don’t take the leap.
  4. Educate yourself and gain experience before you leap.
  5. Consider how your current skills can transfer and be leveraged in your next career.
  6. If something is your passion but you can’t monetize it, then it’s not a career it’s your hobby.
  7. Consistency of effort is essential to your success in a new career.
