Reg Gupton's Top 10 things telling you you are in the wrong job

The top 10 signs that you are in the wrong career

1. You avoid talking about your work with your friends and acquaintances.

You are not excited enough about your job to talk with your friends during social hours like you did at the beginning . Remember what it was like telling all your friends what you were doing and how much fun it was?

2. You are often ill.

You have an ache or a pain somewhere or miss days of work. These are signals from your body that you are under continued stress.

3. You get a knot in your stomach when you think about going to work.

4. There is not much else you want to do with this career.

You've lost your passion for your job. Unlike your parents who may have had one or two jobs in their entire work lifes, you and others today will have multiple careers in a lifetime. Some now have 5-7 careers. Not just jobs in the same career or career path but different careers.

5. You have sold your soul to the devil.

You often feel that you are not paid enough for the work you do.

6. Frustrating patterns are appearing within your relationship with work.

7. You have internal feelings that tell you something is not going according to plan.

Some call it fate, coincidence, misfortune, good or bad luck or anything else, but the Universe will move you whether you wish it or not.

8. You come home from work at the end of the day, just exhausted rather than excited and energized by the day.

9. The longer you are at the job the less fulfilled you feel. Your sense of satisfaction, excitement, curiosity and drive are gone, permanently.

10. You spend a lot of money on other things. You are attempting to get your needs met through other means.

To your continued success,

Reg Gupton
