Parallel Career Metamorphosis

 You have spent every waking moment developing your skills as a professional athlete and although you are at the prime of your career you know in the back of your head that this will not last forever, but what is next for you? You are building a valued brand as an athlete, but you have other goals and aspirations, you have pushed aside to accomplish your first passion.  Now is the time, for you to utilize your brand in order to develop your other goals which in-turn will:

• Build financial security for you and your loved ones.
• Accomplish the other goals you have been considering.
• Create a stream of income, while you are still in your present occupation.

This process is called Parallel Career Metamorphosis or PCM

PCM is the process or period of transformation, from one stage in your career to another via self-examination, determination of your life’s purpose, creation of a detailed plan and specific actions taken to make it happen

Parallel Career Metamorphosis is not a plan B, but the middle ground between being a student and being self employed or being a professional athlete and developing a business that will extend your financial career after your first goal is achieved.  Very few people have the financial ability to decide that they are going to become an entrepreneur and leave their current company or drop out of school to start a business.  Those that have the financial stability to leave their current situation may not be ready to say goodbye to their first goal, but are ready to prepare for the next phase in their life. If you are ready to begin your transformation from where you are to where you are planning to go in your next business venture its time to:

1. Seek a mentor or an accountability partner to help you with the process.  Conduct a self-evaluation that will determine your talents, strengths/ weakness and passions.
2. Write down your list of your goals/ entrepreneurial ideas.
3.  Refine the list to under 3 actual goals
4.  Volunteer in the area(s) that you want to build a business if you do not have experience or expertise.
5.  Create a detailed plan to accomplish your goals
6. Take action no matter how scared you are – Do not let fear hold you back.

God Bless,
