We know time is always passing and that we only have so much of it, yet society, culture and even our media tell us that we need to wait for JUST the right time for the big changes and turning points in our lives.

In this short episode, Nick wants you to rethink your concept of time and why you need to make it work for you rather than allow it to work against you.

You earned a degree, checked off the internship box, found a good job in your new field and are busy living life in your career when suddenly it hits you! "This isn't at all what I want to be doing for the rest of my career!" In today's episode we discuss the sunken cost fallacy and why it's never too late to start over. Goli Kalkhoran attended Berkeley Law in hopes of advancing social change as a federal public defender. It wasn't too long after realizing her lofty goal and earning her "dream job" that Goli realized that it wasn’t nearly as fulfilling a career as she had hoped. Instead of sticking with the vocation she had invested so much time, effort and money in, Goli left law, founded photo booth company Usie Booth, and now hosts the podcast “Lessons from a Quitter.” In this episode, Goli discusses how she concluded law wasn’t a good fit for her, how she went about changing careers, and why you should push back against the fears and anxieties telling you to stay where you are.

I don’t care. I’m just gonna try something else and if I fail I fail’.” Guest Links: Goli's Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/lessons-from-a-quitter/id1412305413?mt=2 Goli on Twitter: https://twitter.com/quitterpodcast Goli on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lessonsfromaquitter/ Resources: Kahneman Happiness & Money - https://qz.com/1211957/how-much-money-do-people-need-to-be-happy/ Follow Nick Murphy on Social: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachnickmurphy Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/coachnickmurphy Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/coachnickmurphy
