Publisher's summary

How much longer will you stay at a job that you hate, wasting away your skills, your potential, and your life?

You hate your job. You hate it with a capital h.

Each work morning is a struggle. You drag your feet in the bedroom and hope for a traffic jam so that you can spend a few extra precious minutes away from the office.

At work, you glance at the clock every five minutes, dreaming of time going by faster.

Is that a way to spend the larger portion of every single workday?

Why do you remain stuck in your career, afraid to leave the spider web of a job that does not excite you and motivate you to show up each day?

The answer is quite simple - most of us are afraid of change. We fear the consequences of proactive choices, which is why we remain stuck for years.

Becoming unstuck professionally and pursuing your dreams doesn’t have to be incredibly difficult, threatening, or impossible. In fact, you’re capable of a lot more than you realize - right now!

To seek your dream employment, you will simply need to start working on yourself. Building your confidence and knowing that you’re capable of change means that half of the work is already done.

The rest is coming up with a specific action plan that will get you exactly where you need and want to be.

Good basic information

This book’s cont is good for people early in their careers. If you have been in the workforce for more than ten years then you probably already know a lot that is covered in the book. I found the section on networking the most useful, but there is a lot of great of information throughout the book.

Great career advice

Changing jobs is never easy, but this audiobook gives us all the tools for doing so. It walks us through countless potential roadblocks and tough decisions of said process. It's full of valuable information and is a great resource, overall. I recommend it to those looking to change jobs or careers.

No better time for change than now.

Timelier than ever during this period of economic instability, Elliott provides you with a roadmap to changing your career path for the better.

Change can be a difficult process. However, the author makes the whole process of initiating a career change manageable and systematic. He provides you with numerous tips and sage advice on making the transition a positive one.

I especially enjoyed Chapter 4, which explored jobs of the future. With a global pandemic impacting how businesses will operate moving forward, this information is more relevant than ever. An enjoyable listen.

UnStuck Yourself from an unfulfilling career

I found this book extremely insightful when it comes to recognizing ones potential to achieve more when it comes their professional and financial life. We only have one life, and spending most of it working at a job we hate or don't enjoy is not the new wave. Chase your dreams and purpose! This was a great listen.
