Episode notes

When considering a new career path, it is crucial to ground your vision in reality by researching real case studies and information of people who are already successful in that field. This process helps to determine if the career generates enough income, understand the required path or credentials for success, and avoid falling into the trap of creating a story based on what you wish to be true. By facing the reality of a potential career choice, you can make more informed decisions and avoid potentially detrimental outcomes.
