Research Analyst to Social Entrepreneur
Research Analyst to Social Entrepreneur Success Story > From: Job To: Startup Research Analyst to Social Entrepreneur âMy role was to sit with another 1,000 people and stare into a computer screen all day making money out of money for rich people.â * Research Analyst to Social Entrepreneur Find out how Tom made his unusual career shift! What was your role in your old job? I was a research analyst. My role was to sit with another 1000 people on my floor (open plan) and stare into a computer screen all day making money out of money for rich people. As you can imagine, I felt like I was making a significant contribution to society. Not that I'm bitter ;) What is/are your new role(s)? After leaving the bank, I founded Blue Ventures, a marine conservation social enterprise with a friend Alasdair Harris. Having run a couple of marine expeditions whilst students at Edinburgh University, we felt we could develop something more sustainable. Starting in Madagascar in 2003, we developed a 6-week expedition programme for volunteers. Since 2003 we've hosted over 300 international volunteers at our site in Madagascar and made significant contributions to the conservation programme in the region. In 2005, we were lucky enough to win the SEED Awards at the UN in New York - a competition backed by the UNDP/IUCN/UNEP for our work developing marine protected areas with local people. In 2006 our turnover was £250k and we made a profit of £30k, which we were able to donate to our charitable arm. In addition to my work with Blue Ventures, I've also started two websites travelroots.com and tiptheplanet.com. For more information, take a peek! More recently, I've also been working w ith the Make your Mark campaign, encouraging young people to start their own businesses - as the social enterprise campaigner. What this means is that I'm very busy, but lack focus :) Why did you change? Do I really need to answer this ;) Are you happy with the change? No, I'd rather be back at the bank. Ehem. What do you miss and what don't you miss? I miss the commute every morning, the scintillating conversation around the coffee machine, the sea of miserable faces, working in the city, my boss and above all the feeling that I was making money for someone else's yacht, caviar, champagne, cocaine... all life-improving commodities. How did you go about making the change? I opened my eyes, took stock of my situation and asked myself if I was proud of what I was doing, if I enjoyed it and whether or not I was happy. It wasn't difficult. What was the most difficult thing about changing? When you start something yourself, it means that you essentially have to make things up as you go along. In retrospect we really had very little idea what we were doing. We never copromised on saftey and in our work with Malagasys and as such we had to work day and night to ensure that we didn't slip in areas we previously knew very little about. People are generally scared about making the leap from security to having to shape your own existence, but I can assure you that I've never regretted the move once. It's a no-brainer. What help did you get? My parents were very helpful, allowing us to use my old bedroom as an office for the first few years. We begged and borrowed help wherever we could get it. What have you learnt in the process? That lifes to short to waste it somewhere you're unhappy. That starting something yourself is incredibly hard, but incredibly rewarding. That things always take longer than you'd like them to! That filling out your VAT return is seriously boring. That people think because you're starting something in Madagascar that when you go there it's a holiday... far from it. What do you wish you'd done differently? It's hard to know whether or not things would've worked if we'd done things differently. I think we'd known about the logstical difficulties, we might never have got going. However, I wish I'd tried to enjoy the process a bit more, as opposed to always looking forward (but that's still a problem today). I wish I'd concentrated during my French lessons at school, that would've helped in Madagascar. What would you advise others to do in the same situation? Follow your heart, it's wiser than you think. And for God's sake, don't be scared... now I can't think of anything scarier than having to do a 9-7 in a bank, law firm or somewhere I was unhappy. What lessons could you take from Tom's story to use in your own career change? Let us know in the comments below.

Brand Dilution to Solution - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career
Brand Dilution to Solution - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Have you ever had an exciting idea to further build business but the next morning awoke with a dose of reality? Its your subconscious at work telling you the better direction to pursue. Intuition provides instinct or a quick recognition of whats right and wrong. On a deeper level, our subconscious brings together all of the facts playing in our mind and forces them through a sieve, so-to-speak, to find the coherent solution. Both are important indicators of what to be aware and may be considered as our protectors. Paying attention to these signs may well help you to avoid diluting your personal brand. Your prioritized value system is what will help you get your brand crystal clear in your mind and enable you to express it enthusiastically to others. Routinely find quiet time to reflect upon whether everything you are currently working on is adding to your brand clarity and dynamics. Ask yourself if future planned projects will do the same. Only then will your branding effort successfully reach audiences far and wide. Collaboration on projects dramatically increases your potential reach as well as the services you may offer. However, creating a partnership of any type always requires careful consideration to protect what you have already built. The following true story illustrates these principles. Ann is just beginning her own business while John and Gertrude are more experienced entrepreneurs. Their work complements that of one another so they decided to venture forth in creating a brand new collaborative program. The conversation developed into new directions for all and held tremendous excitement for each, until Initial excitement began to dwindle as intuition and subconscious thought took hold. Ann and John originally saw this new direction as an extension of what they each already have in place. However, caught off guard, they were dismayed to learn Gertrude saw this as a brand new company. She was already speaking of creating new business cards and website. This is where Gertrude and John recognized the importance of not diluting but remaining true to their own unique personal brand. Their two major concerns were: Rather than adding complementary services to their current brand, it was suggested a new identity be created. Their established brand would be diluted if a new company were formed. Current clients would be confused as to who they are and may well be lost with the new arrangement. Establishing a new company without legal agreements and license is unwise and is of concern. Excitement was quickly fading away. However, John and Ann still felt the original idea might be worth salvaging. Recognizing the brakes were on, the three held a candid conversation to begin anew. The consensus evolved into a revised agreement. The new plan is to first develop business as associates maintaining separate brand identity. This will ensure a secure footing before ever considering the formation of a new company. As services are created, they will be complementary to what has already been built. In this manner, the three associates are able to keep their current clientele happy plus they will enable development of additional audiences. Everyone will benefit.

How to cope with losing your job in your twenties - Debut
How to cope with losing your job in your twenties - Debut Finding a job after university can be tough. No matter how much passion and experience you have, it often takes time â" and a bit of luck â" to land the perfect gig. Add in pressure from family and friends and itâs no surprise landing a permanent contract can feel more of a relief than a celebration. But once youâve got the job youâre set for life â" until you donât have it any more that is. Few recent grads ever think about the possibility of losing their job. However, with even massive companies like Twitter, Vice and The Telegraph making cutbacks, it can be a depressing reality. Whether through redundancy, contracts not being renewed or otherwise, losing your job is not just an issue for old people. I was seven months into a new role when I found out my contract wouldnât be renewed. Iâd left a full-time job and turned down two other offers to take it up, and for a while it felt like the perfect fit. Discovering Iâd soon be unemployed felt like being hit by a bus. Losing your job can leave you feeling completely worthless. Not to mention start a spiralling panic about how youâll afford to eat and pay the rent. But while itâs far from ideal, becoming unemployed wasnât the end of my career and it didnât lead to financial ruin. And neither will it for you. Give yourself some time Thereâs no textbook for handling bad news. For the record? Thereâs nothing wrong with wanting to sob into your pillow forever or instructing your closest friend to bring round the wine immediately. When you know you only have a few weeks of work left, you might be tempted to apply for every job under the sun straight away. But do make time to digest whatâs happening and donât beat yourself up about not finding a new gig instantly. After all, you want to present your best self when applying for new opportunities. Be patient, as your best self wonât make an appearance straight away. Remember youâre not a failure Losing your job doesnât mean youâve done badly â" businesses take decisions for purely financial reasons all the time. It can be tempting to fall into the trap of thinking youâre a failure â" but try to focus on all the positives you can take from your experiences. More people than you think will have been in the same situation at some time or another. Believe it or not, itâs rarely a defining nosedive in their career. If youâre struggling, grab a notebook and go through everything youâve ever done for the company. You may be surprised how many skills and achievements youâve racked up. Donât pack it all in â" but do ask for flexibility When you know thereâs no great prize coming at the end of all your hard work, it can be difficult to stay motivated. Resist the temptation to sack it off entirely though â" you want to keep things friendly. Ending on good terms with your boss is definitely a good idea. This means theyâre more likely to bear you in mind if they see any similar opportunities. (Also, theyll probably be more keen on giving you a good reference.) Thatâs not to say you canât ask for some leeway â" if youâve got an interview for another job they should give you the time to go. Think about other options If you were happy in your last role itâs unlikely you thought about other career options, but thatâs not to say your next step has to be exactly the same. Leaving a job, even unexpectedly, can give you the space to try something new. If youâve been in your role a while, itâs worth thinking about whether you have the experience for more senior positions. Or perhaps youâre intrigued by a slightly different career path? Either way, thereâs no harm in looking at jobs which arenât quite the same . After all, youâll be sure to have racked up plenty of transferable skills. You may even want to consider not applying for another job at all! Depending on your industry, freelancing or setting up your own business could be a great option. It may be easier when you leave Working a full-time job while also planning your next steps can be tricky and itâs easy to get bogged down in the day to day. Budget your money carefully and you should be able to give yourself a window of time after you leave to keep applying for jobs. Not only will you have more time to put into getting applications right, youâll also have a clearer head-space to focus on your next steps. Take control of your story Finally, remember your career is yours and yours alone. Thereâs no shame in losing your job. However, that doesnât mean you have to tell everyone or post about it on social media if you donât want too. Tell close friends and family as soon as youâre ready. Itâs important to have a support network and youâll probably find theyâve got suggestions or contacts who could help. Wed advise that you wait until youâve got your head around the news if you need to. Losing your job is undeniably tough â" but with a strong support network and creative mind set youâll get through it.
