Squash your fears
You have had every reason run through your mind as to why starting a new career at 50 is not possible. I am too old! I am not up with current trends! My tech knowledge is limited! Squash those fears and each time you find yourself thinking why you CAN’T, stop and affirm to yourself all the reasons you CAN!
Many women make the transition at all different ages.

What would you like to do? The choice really is yours.
Know your worth
Genuinely believe your worth and remind yourself of your worth daily. Have reminders of just how valuable you are. Tell yourself in the mirror each morning, have positive affirmations where you can see them or listen to podcasts and music that feed your soul.

Share your story
Share your career story and achievements with others. People often fear doing this to avoid coming across as a ‘show off’ when, it can have the opposite effect. Sharing your achievements can inspire others to make positive changes in their career or to start something new.
Positivity always wins
If you encounter people who question your change or new career, stay positive and avoid taking their negativity energy on board. People questioning our actions is part of life, it is how we respond that will determine how it affects us.
Often family or friends may question your choices, ask yourself are they just trying to protect you?
Find your tribe
Surround yourself with a solid support network. Friends, family, colleagues, networking groups or a life coach can be our biggest cheer leaders. Having the right support is priceless to discuss your fears, setbacks and keep your mindset in check.
Sometimes you may need to look for a new network of like minded people.
