81 - Bob's Big Career Shift Revealed!

I'll be honest. What I reveal on this episode is scary for me. But it's something I need to do that I think you can learn from.

Admit it. Change can be frightening. Even when you're self-employed and call your own shots. You can easily get stuck in the comfort zone of what you're used to. What you're known for. What's expected of you.

Just last month, a growing sense of stagnation I've felt for a while, combined with a desire to expand into something fresh and exciting, came to a head. In the weeks since then I've been working behind the scenes on a new venture I'm ready to fully reveal to you now.

Here I bare my soul with the most personal episode yet.

If you're short on time, you can get the scoop by visiting www.DIYcareerManifesto.com. (You can get a free sample of the new book I'm working on there too.) But I hope you take the time to listen to the full podcast recording here.

Note: This career shift does not mean I am abandoning my music marketing or book promotion audiences. Not at all. I'll still create content on these topics (and I'm about to go live with a redesign of www.TheBuzzFactor.com site). But my energy has definitely shifted into an eager exploration of something new and exciting.
