Happy Monday Escapees!
Fear can be a pretty handy instinct - it keeps us out of trouble and stops us from doing totally reckless things. But let’s be real: a lot of the time, fear pops up around stuff that isn’t actually dangerous, just imagined “what ifs.” What if you’re not good enough? What if people don’t understand? What if it all goes wrong?
Career psychologist Rob Archer suggests fear is actually a choice. You can either dig into it, manage the risks, and move forward - or let it steer you somewhere else entirely. As he puts it, "It’s not about whether your fears are true - it’s about whether they’re useful."
If you’re ready to take those fears and turn them into fuel for a new direction, that’s exactly what the Career Change Accelerator is here for. With over 2,000 Escapees already finding careers they love, this programme is packed with practical tools, bold experiments, and a community that actually gets it. It’s designed to make your leap into something new a whole lot less scary - and a whole lot more exciting.
Don't forget apply before midnight to get £50 off of our Career Change Accelerator Course!
Happy Escaping!
