What Are You Waiting For?

That's a good question, isn't it?

If you're considering teaching in Korea, or making any significant move,
what are you waiting for?

The perfect moment? For everything to be "just right?" For someone to
push you to go ahead?

One thing I've learned is that action is a very important factor in any
undertaking. While thinking about something and having a positive
attitude towards it is a good start, you must then take action steps
towards the accomplishment of this goal. No action, no forward motion.

What are some examples of action?

Fill out an application.

Have an interview.

Review a contract.

Put your car up for sale.

Give your boss notice.

There are so many different little steps that you can take that will help
you build momentum towards the big steps. But, you have to start with
that forward motion in order to build up towards the big decisions.

When I decided to return to Korea, one of the big steps I took was to book
a plane ticket. That was a pretty defining moment. Once you "go hard on
the money", you become more committed to a project.

So, in a moment of self-confidence, take a bold step forward, and you'll
see that you will begin to progress. This applies not only to pursuing a
job overseas, but to anything that you want to accomplish.

So, what are you waiting for? Make a move!
