Oh my word she is me. I am her. All the more reason to continue with my TH-cam channel even though it’s got slow growth. I want to empower moms who want to make better financial decisions.
I feel the exact same as you both! I just subscribed to your channel

To all the people who say they have had lots of jobs but never a career (Ken hope you don’t mind me contributing here): Try reframing your thinking to what skills have I constantly been using across all jobs rather than what is my job label. So you are good at eg being (and keeping others) focussed and organized, team morale, conflict resolution, getting things done, coming up with solutions fast, or in career speak good with time management, a creative thinker, a good communicator, attentive to details, ethical (just some examples). Don’t worry that you haven’t had the same job for years (it’s more important that you can show how you can use what you have done to show suitability to the next gig). I have stopped saying I am a teacher. I say I work in education. That allows me to reinvent myself in the same field. So I guess find the sector you love and shift around within that. What do you think Ken?
This was very helpful. Thanks!
Love that
Interesting! My problem is that every job I have feels like I'm back in high school which is very annoying people are so unprofessional and I just am not myself anymore it's annoying. Other then that I've had so much experience from, caregiving to janitorial and now I've landed on a dishwashing/busser position. I'm thinking this may be a great job for me because I do believe that I have ADHD so it would be perfect for me. I spent 9 hrs getting my food handlers card and enjoyed learning about food, pathogens, and the whole dishwashing and bussing aspect of it all so I have landed on a job like that. It's not too much customer interaction. Only thing I really wouldn't be good at is serving food and cooking I don't think but who knows maybe someday. Plus, I just went on a job interview and although I felt as if it went okay I don't know if I am going to get the job I feel as though I could have sold myself better and I don't think I did that great of a job but the first step was to get my food handler card which I was super excited about. I thought maybe I should work with the homeless sense most of them feel as if they can come up to me every time I seem to step outside but after care giving I want to try something new. I even thought about working in a hotel as a dishwasher/busser sense it's really not that hard of a job. One lady I worked with helped in the kitchen and did laundry on the side so I may try that to. I don't mind having to go back to school either to get more education. Like he said volunteering at a church may help so I may do that also.
This man is amazing, he literally helped her what she wants to do in a matter of minutes, that's amazing.
A fantastic and important call, as the principle behind this (not knowing what to do) has affected me for years now. The way Ken Coleman narrowed this down into logical steps was marvellous. Also, the topic that Stephanie has chosen is difficult, but relevant to many people's lives. I took notes while watching this video, and this has forced me to ask myself some serious questions.
I just want to make enough money to pay my bills and be able to enjoy life with luxuries and vacation. just don't want to be breaking my back physically. it's doable now but who wants to do back breaking work at 50 to 60?
Enjoy life with luxuries is the hard part. Luxuries are expensive, you know?
@@CaptPicard81 yes but it's other ways to do it. as I said I'm not into back breaking work. I work a office job so my intentions is to progress into it. it'll always be hard but physical labor isn't my thing
This really opened my eyes, I been wanting to start a podcast, a TH-cam channel, or content about gaming or things that are on the mind, but I always relied on pleasing my peers and family and it always brought me down. I really don’t know what to do with my life and I’m 27 but after watching this video it has changed a little bit of my perspective of what I want to do.
This made me cry. Literally one of the best calls
Really loved the way you broke it down into steps easily translatable to other people with the same issue! Some of the best advice for this problem I’ve ever seen.
Great work here Ken! This was an awesome show!
I made a call to Ken Coleman once to ask about my financial situation with my brother and how we could find a career we could do to gain a better income. They basically skipped answering my question and moved onto the next caller. Seeing this video made more sense about how to find a career I can do without floating around other fields. I wish he had answered it then! 😅
This is brilliant... very cool. Thank you for giving me some ideas and Stephanie, you got this!!
My husband said she should be a politician 🤣🤣🤣
This is really helpful! Thank you!
I'm gonna watch it a few times as that's so valuable!Thank you!
what you do is amazing Ken. changing peoples' lives. I am moved
I'm actually lost. I hate my job and don't have a career. Never have had one. It's a long story. I want to quit my current job and find something different but I literally have no idea where to go or what's next for me. I feel like I don't know what I'm good at or what my strengths at. Sounds weird I know that I don't know myself better. I need major help because I want to do something I'm passionate about and that I can do well at. And not just another job I'll hate after 6 months to a year. I've never been to college. Another long story. But I know that college isn't the fix all. I've just felt since graduating high school that college wasn't for me. So I've just went from job to job to find something better and that's not worked. That's all for now. HELP
Im same as you, currently 23 years, i had already 4 jobs, again unemployed. Im trying to learn code but im not sure if i have it, its pretty hard
Andrew, I am the exact same way, except in my case I did go to college, gained about $80k in debt studying a subject I have no passion for, and then got out of college and have worked about 15 different jobs across numerous different industries and hated every single one of them, and I’m currently married with a 10 month old son.
Trust me, I get it. But, Ken’s pathway to get clear is the answer. It has really helped me get out of my head and really think about direction and what problems in the world I would like to help solve. We all get caught up in this idea of getting this perfect job that satisfies every aspect of our own fulfillment but that is not the whole story and certainly not the way we out to look at it. It’s a balance of doing the work you are good at doing, for the people you love helping in a way that you love doing it. Ken is legit.
Loved this call and Stephanie! I think I get too confused with so many things on my 'list' like her, then I just shut down and keep doing what I'm doing. About to read the Proximity Principle!
Great advice.
This was good, brilliant stuff, replayed this twice!
Loved this ❤️❤️🥰
great news! I am finally transitioning and got a job into the career I am going to school for which is IT!
Congrats Tommy!
how'd u get in
@@michael567jober someone told me about the position and I submitted my resume
@@tommy11sixorozco9 I been trying to get in off and on for over 5 years. I have an associate's degree but only retail warehouse and food service experience
Antonio you don’t have any IT certs? To get an entry level job, the CompTIA A+ is a great place to start to ensure you have fundamental PC knowledge/troubleshooting down.
Wow she mentioned all things I love. Everything she said I aspire
Awesome call. Love your show ken
Stephanie link your podcast or blog, we wanna see it girl!! 👏👏
OMYGOD she sounds like me!! I had just started a blog a few years ago about Art (fiber Arts to start) and creating Amigurumi, and also talking about being positive as far as general well-being and following your passions, and because I got some WEIRDOS (men) coming on and commenting, I literally got scared and took it down!! Now at 59, I'm always driven to health/well-being, financial literacy, Art of all kinds (Drawing/watercolor/acrylic/gouache/Nature photography) and also plant care. Hoping I can take all, or some of this and create some kind of career before I get any older!!
This is awesome 👌👏
Stephanie you matter!!
If she is watching this she can make domestic violence awareness TH-cam content.
Good point!
Is that my female version calling? Lol so insightful! :) thank you!
Talent
Passion
Mission
I'm retired, 20 years in the military (Yeah we still need to work!)I have so many interests that I can't pinpoint one to pursue either.
"Jobs, woman, hobbies...Just try stuff until you luck into something you can tolerate" -my dad
I finally decided on a resturant career with all the rest of the crazies I belong there. lmao! Just got my serve food certificate and I don't think I want to do anything else. Went on an interview today and felt so dumb because I felt like I knew nothing just felt like it could have went better. The cook interviewing me seemed kind of interested but I wish I would have had some better answers. Interviews are hit or miss with me either I get the job or don't get the job. I'm very scatter brained during interviews but I would love to be a dishwasher/busser which is such an entry level job but jobs like this or the types of jobs I like.
How can i call ???
I have no talent and never had a good job but I could go to college after several awkward talks 😢
Bless her heart lol I feel that tho
YWCA provides help for women of domestic abuse. Probably a great place to start.
I just love how he makes the confused minds spill out the solution within minutes.
Scriptures and communities help troubled people, so we off the hook. If you want to volunteer, do it.
Yeah there was no “solution” here. Making a blog is a hobby….the caller wanted to know HOW to choose a CAREER. Not gain another hobby that isn’t in demand and doesn’t allow her to stop driving 2 hours backs and forth everyday.
I'm still not clear how she can turn her blogging about domestic violence into a solid income. I hate it when career counselors tell you how wonderful you are, but don't provide an application to sign.
She can use SEO words to get picked up by the algorithm. She can create post online(pinterest and Instagram) that go to her blog. And then she can have ads on her blog. Let's say she suggests women learning how to self defense and she has an article. If she has something she can promotes, she can have an affiliate link to it for when ppl purchase such item (idk clothes to wear for self defense class), mace...or whatever else
👌
I hope she figures out her own work life balance before she attempts to coach/support others.
Yes! Poor 2yr old is missing mommy! Wayy too much time spent outside the home...4hr commute alone?? Not good!
What do you think she is doing now? A realist would say nothing they talked about.
🤗
That poor 2yr old is going to start calling the sitter mommy. Too much time spent AWAY from baby. I hope she finds a career that allows her to be home with baby more. Definetely CLOSER to home. Geezz! 4 hours a day in JUST the commute alone? Wow!
You can’t have it all
Well, that is why she called in to clarify her vision with Ken Coleman.
Feminism told us we could. They lied! After working for almost 30 years STRAIGHT, without stopping, I'm now a stay at home mom and homeschooling my daughters. I've NEVER been more happy and content with my life, knowing I am investing the majority of my time to my children and not strangers that will soon forget who I am. I can go back to work AFTER I raise my children.
Social worker would be practicall to make a living, she could write on the blog and write a book about help for abuse stuff.
