Reinvent your Mondays, transition to a new career, and start Do Overs in all areas of life with Jon Acuff.

-----

Welcome to episode 86 of the Food Blogger Pro podcast! This week, Bjork chats with Jon Acuff, a New York Times bestselling author who helps you work a job you love.

 

While many entrepreneur-motivators will promote the strategy of quitting your job first, then figuring your new career out later, Jon Acuff takes a different stance. In his most recent book, Do Over, Jon talks about preparing yourself for a new career well before you ever need to actually start one.

Jon’s books have helped thousands of people reinvent their Mondays, transition to a new career, and start Do Overs in all areas of life.

In this episode, Jon shares:

• What a Do Over is and how you can track their effects
• Why you shouldn’t quit your day job
• How to utilize your time without sacrificing your family
• What you need to have in place to be prepared for a Do Over
• Why hustle is a key component, even if you have everything else
• What a Career Savings Account is and why you need one
• The best way to build relationships and be remembered
