5 Signs Its Time to Quit Your Job, According to Gary Vaynerchuk and Other Top CEOs

5 Signs It’s Time to Quit Your Job, According to Gary Vaynerchuk and Other Top CEOs Feeling unappreciated or bored at work? If you’re looking for a surefire sign it’s time to find a new job or change careers, look no further. We asked five business bosses and advisors in The Oracles how to know you’re ready â€" and what to do about it. 1. You live for the weekends Gary Vaynerchuk, Courtesy of The Oracles If you’re unhappy or live for weekends, something is broken. You only get to play this game of life once. Are you willing to spend half of it doing something you hate? If not, quit complaining and find a job you love or start the business of your dreams. Don’t wait for permission; nothing will happen unless you take action. Do that thing you want to do. You can always get another job. So many people can’t quit their jobs because they feel they have to spend money on things they can’t afford to impress people they don’t even like. I don’t care if you’re 40 years old â€" move home with your parents. Do something you love on the side until you make enough money to quit your job. Give up your free time if you have to. Isn’t it worth taking a step back to move forward for the rest of your life? â€" Gary Vaynerchuk, founder and CEO of VaynerMedia(700+ employees, with over $100 million in annual revenue); five-time New York Times bestselling authorof “Crushing It!” 2. You’re lacking passion or a purpose Kara Goldin, Courtesy of The Oracles It’s time to move on when you’ve accomplished all you set out to, you’re looking for the next challenge, and you can’t find it where you are. I always want to be passionate about what I do. I realize that’s a big ask, but it matters to me. I’m also the type who always looks ahead. At a certain point in my career, I really wanted my work to have a purpose. When I came up with the idea for Hint, it was serendipitous. I was extraordinarily motivated and excited. I was a tech person, so I didn’t really know much about the beverage industry, but I felt sure that this was a product that solved a problem and would help others live healthier lives like it helped me. All the elements were there for not only a career change but a wild, successful ride of entrepreneurship â€" with passion and purpose. â€" Kara Goldin, founder and CEO ofHint Inc.; creator of The Kara Network, a digital resource for entrepreneurs; and host of the “ Unstoppable” podcast; follow Kara on Twitter andInstagram 3. You feel undervalued, unfulfilled, or disconnected. Andrea Callanan, Courtesy of The Oracles Feeling undervalued, unfulfilled, or disconnected at work is a sign that something needs to change. But before you quit your job, ask yourself what you need from your employer that you aren’t getting. What is your role in that scenario? Are you communicating how you feel? Can you find a way to enjoy your job? Consider changing your perspective. When I was unhappy in my job years ago, I chose to establish my own business. You can change your life and work situation. The choice is yours: leap in or out and make it count. If you’re a manager, pay attention to emotional withdrawal, poor timekeeping, and weaker productivity â€" all signs that someone has switched off. Invest in team trainings to empower employees, give them a voice, and change how they feel about their jobs. Show appreciation and interest in individuals. Communicate clearly and frequently, give them a sense of purpose, and celebrate successes as a team. â€" Andrea Callanan, musician-turned-entrepreneur; voice, confidence, and success coach, and founder of employee engagement company Inspire Me; public speaker and author of “ You Are Meant for More“; connect with Andrea onFacebook, Instagram, and Twitter 4. You’re daydreaming instead of doing your job. Matt Clark, Courtesy of The Oracles Within three months of my job at an investment bank, I knew it wasn’t for me. Instead of doing my job, I fantasized about starting a business or becoming a Navy Seal. Four months later, I quit to become an entrepreneur, and my only regret is not leaving sooner. If you know you’re a motivated person and you can do more with your life, but you’re not doing it at your current job, make a change. If you’re spending more time at work thinking about a different path than actually working, get out. By all means, try to change your attitude first. Look for a greater meaning in your work or opportunities to grow and learn. But if you don’t find a way to love your job, throw yourself into new pursuits until you find what lights you up. You’ll spend more of your waking hours at work than you will doing anything else. You owe it to yourself to find something that doesn’t feel like work. â€" Matt Clark, co-founder and chairman of Amazing.com and co-creator of Amazing Selling Machine; connect with Matt onInstagram 5. You aren’t tap-dancing to work. Joshua Harris, Courtesy of The Oracles At 88 years old, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett still “tap-dances to work” every day â€" because he loves what he does. He found his purpose, and he pursued it fearlessly. Over 10 years ago, I took that approach to entrepreneurship. In the beginning, I woke up terrified of failing. I was sprinting to my desk each day, not tap-dancing. As I gained traction, I realized how fun it is to make money serving people. The more I served, the happier I felt. If you’re not tap-dancing to work, move on. If you’re exerting a lot of energy without any recognition or rewards, it’s probably time to hop off the treadmill. Find a mentor who is living your dream life. Buy a course, enroll in a training program, or find someone willing to coach you. Then figure out how they built their dream life and reverse-engineer the steps to get there. â€" Joshua Harris, founder of Agency Growth Secrets; teaches entrepreneurs how to start, grow, and scale marketing agencies that help businesses grow Want to share your insights in a future article?

Thinking About Working from Home Ask Yourself These Five Questions First

Thinking About Working from Home Ask Yourself These Five Questions First Working from home has a seemingly endless array of perks (hello flexible schedule, goodbye dress code) but no matter how much you know youd enjoy attending virtual meetings in your PJs or having more control over your schedule, working remotely does pose some challenges, too. There may be times when you feel isolated from the rest of your co-workers or when you wont be able to find the motivation to be productive. The truth is, as great as working from home sounds, its not for everyone.Determining whether a remote job is right for you will depend on your unique work style and preferences. To start, ask yourself ansicht five questions. Are You Self-Disciplined?One of the great things about working from home is that no one is looking over your shoulder. While that may sound absolutely wonderful, some people find having their boss or colleagues nearby to be very motivating. Think about it this way will you be able to resist the urge to catch up on your grocery shopping, reorganize the kids closets, or watch that extra hour of the Today Show (Kathy Lee and Hoda are a good time, I get it) when youre in the middle of your workday?The flexibility that comes with working remotely is a great perk and if youre self-disciplined, youll probably be able to find a way to get all your work done *and* find time to pick up the house or catch up on that huge pile of laundry. But, if you know that you have a tendency to procrastinate or are easily distracted, working remotely may prove to be a serious challenge to your wertzuwachs and productivity.Can You Be Your Own Advocate?When you arent constantly in your managers line of vision, you may not always be at the top of her mind when shes deciding who she should assign that awesome new project. To counter the out of sight, out of mind effect, youll need to be proactive about communicating your progress and availability or soliciting feedback proactively. In other words, are you able to be a strong advocate for yourself?Being less visible also makes it harder for your boss to evaluate your performance. If shes not seeing you in action each and every day, how will she know the full extent of your contributions? Feeling empowered to proactively highlight your achievements, volunteer for new opportunities and share your ideas will help to provide your manager with a more well-rounded understanding of your total value.Are You Comfortable Being Alone All Day?Working from home can get a little lonely. When youre at the office, its easy to stop by your co-workers desk for a quick chat or to schedule an impromptu strategy meeting with your team. Working virtually makes these interactions, well, virtually impossible. You wont always be able to bounce an idea off your manager, vent about a rude client to a colleague, or grab a quick bite to eat at your favorite caf with your work bestie anymore.Do You Have a Proper Workspace?Your couch doesnt cou nt (trust me, Ive tried).A productive workspace will probably look a little different for everyone, but yours should at least meet a few basic criteria. First, do you have a quiet place to work where youll be able to avoid distractions? Noisy kids, a barking dog, or a direct line of sight to the pile of unwashed dishes in your kitchen could prove to be a real hindrance to your productivity. Next, are you able to designate an area in your home that will be dedicated exclusively to work? Having a spot that youll use solely for actual work will help you to stay focused and to keep your desk (or kitchen table or TV tray) organized. Lastly, do you have all the equipment you need? Your employer may provide you with a laptop, phone, etc., but if they dont, youll want to make sure you have a dependable computer, internet connection and phone line. An unreliable laptop or a shaky WiFi signal can seriously torpedo your efficiency.Are You a Strong Digital Communicator?Youre not going to be bum ping into your boss at the cappuccino machine or eating lunch with your co-workers every day, which means youre going to have to rely much more heavily on mail and chat to stay connected. If the thought of being consistently available on your companys chat platform, exchanging regular texts with your boss or consistently monitoring and responding to e-mail makes you cringe, working from home may not be your most ideal set up. Like it or not, maintaining a regular digital presence will likely be an essential component of most virtual jobs.If you know youre the type of person who is easily distracted, thrives on regular interaction with co-workers, or craves consistent, real-time feedback from your boss, a remote job may not be the best fit for you. But, if youre an independent operator who is comfortable going without menschenfreundlich contact for hours on end, loves e-mail and lives by a detailed to-do list, you may be an ideal virtual employee. Working in an office or out of your home will each come with its own unique set of perks and challenges, so deciding whether or not to pursue a virtual role will ultimately depend on your individual work style.--Jaclyn Westlake is a career advice columnist, creator of the Job Hoppers Job Search Strategy Guide and founder of The Job Hop.

Gender diversity provides huge benefits in the workplace. pWhile some industries have made significant advancements in gender diversity, some industries lag further behind... and the construction industry is well-known for being in the latter category. If someone says, construction workers, youll likely picture a group of men in yellow hard hats analyzing an architects plans or laying bricks on top of a scaffold. And men at work signs only help to reinforce this image.pThis stereotype is rooted in reality. When was the last time you actually spotted a woman on a construction site? Or hired a female plumber or carpenter? Your answer is most likely never. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statisticsreports that only 3.4% of the total of 8.3 million construction employees are women.pBut the construction industry has a lot more to offer than steel-toed boots and hard hats, and it needs women to help advance the industry in this era of rapid change. Here are 5 reasons why women joining the workforce or looking to make a pivot should consider a c areer in construction.h21. Fuel Innovation/h2pNot only is diversity the socially and morally right thing to do, but it is also actually an excellent business strategy. pResearch presented in the Harvard Business Reviewshows that diverse teams develop more innovative ideas. This is further supported by a study conducted by Gallupon the performance of gender-diverse teams versus single-gender teams, which found that the difference in backgrounds and perspectives led to better business performance and problem-solving. h22. Capitalize on Demand/h2pThe construction industry is currently experiencing a labor shortage. The industry itself is booming and projected to be one of the fastest-growing industries, with total spending projected to exceed $1.45 trillion in 2023/a. However, most construction companies are unable to meet the rising demand. pAccording to the Associated General Contractors of America/a, more than 80% of contractors are experiencing difficulties filling hourly craft pos itions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce.pAnd demand isnt limited to individual contributor roles. Given the industry boom, there are a number of open stable and high-paying roles (any project managers out there?) waiting for the right candidateh23. Leadership Opportunities/h2pAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics/a, women compose only 7.7% of the total 1 million managerial positions in construction.br/pBut given the highly collaborative nature of construction work, more women in leadership roles would help drive innovation and enhance productivity.Furthermore, as a woman in construction in a leadership position, youd have the unique opportunity to drive change for the industry and make it a more attractive option for other women.h24. High-Income Potential/h2pSalaries for many skilled positions in construction are on the rise, making a construction career a prime choice for women looking for a high-paying job,pThe 2018 Construction Craft Salary Surveyconduc ted by the National Center for Construction Education and Research revealed that salaries for many skilled craft areas are increasing. Project managers and project supervisors topped the list at $92,523 and $88,355, respectively. The next set of highest-paying jobs include those of combo welders ($71,067), instrumentierung technicians ($70,080), pipe welders ($69,222), power line workers ($68,262) and industrial electricians ($67,269). Of the 32 categories of workers in the survey, 19 positions earned an average salary of $60,000 or higher.h25. Sense of accomplishment/h2p The construction industry can give employees a unique sense of achievement. Yes, the job is stressful and the work can be demanding, but nothing beats the feeling of being able to build something from the ground up. pHow many professionals in other industries can point at a school, a hospital, or a skyscraper and say I helped build that?pThe construction industry has a long way to go in combating gender bias and su pporting women in the workforce, but given the current demand for workers, theres no better time to pick up a sledgehammer (figurative or literal) and smash the gender stereotypes plaguing the construction industry.
