Half Of Us Think We Are In The Wrong Career

Interesting piece in The Daily Mail last week, saying that half of Britons hate their jobs so much that they think they're in the wrong career.

Research has revealed that a quarter of us would even describe ourselves as 'poor employees' because we are so unhappy and 49% are thinking seriously about finding a new role.

One in five of the 2,000 workers surveyed blame their misery on their job being 'meaningless' and too stressful. Half feel they have gone as far as they can in their profession and 15% think their hours are too long.

The study also found that 70% of us would now considering working for ourselves.  Owning a cafe or a B&B, or writing a novel, were the most popular alternatives. 

Colin Swain of small business banking firm Kalixa Pro, which commissioned the study, said "It's shocking to see so many people are unhappy in their jobs, but great to see some are turning their dreams into a reality". 

Is it time to move on from just thinking or dreaming about starting your own business, to actually taking some action ?  What is the first step you need to take to turn that dream into a reality ? What needs to happen ... and what could you do TODAY to take that first step ? 

Make it a great day !
