Third Career is a Charm with Carol Moorhead - a podcast by Nicole Begley

026 - Working in the construction industry never felt like a calling for Carol Moorhead, but it did offer a sense of security during her child-rearing decades. With those years finally behind her, Carol parlayed a lifelong photography hobby into an inspired new career—and then moved across the country to start over yet again! In this week's episode, Carol shares the wisdom she's learned along the way, and offers her advice for other creative types contemplating a career change. 

What To Listen For: 

• How an exercise called mind-mapping can bring clarity to your path
• The important role that your "starter brand" plays
• Why it doesn't matter if you're the most talented pet photographer around
• Ways to connect with your community—even if they're not where you live

Those of us whose careers began in the pre-internet age can especially appreciate the education, possibilities and resources available at our fingertips today. So now that the world is your oyster, will you dare to take the leap into a job you're passionate about?!
