I quit my dream job. Then I spent 3 years not making the next decision. I was a senior software engineer at a startup. Six figures. Beach apartment. Employee #2. We were growing fast. Then I burned out. Took a vacation. And realized something I'd been hiding from myself: I didn't like the work. I was in the wrong profession. After taking time for further reflection and deliberation, I decided to resign and start a new career as a recruiter — something I'd already been doing informally. Though I resigned, I didn't follow through and become a recruiter. I got cold feet. Went back to software consulting. Took a 6-month contract. Then another year. Then another. It took me 3 years to fully commit to the career change I'd already decided on. I later learned there's a name for this: The Almost-Committed. You make the decision, but at the moment of execution, you retreat to safety. Then you tell yourself you're "still planning to do it" while another year passes. The cost? Mental health. Relationship strain. Confidence erosion. And the startup I left? It sold. My friend who stayed retired early. I've been a recruiter for 20+ years now. I see the same pattern constantly: → Candidates who ghost after getting an offer — sometimes even after accepting one, and just before starting the job → People who stall for weeks on a decision they already know the answer to → High performers stuck in roles they've mentally and quietly quit The pattern isn't about information shortage. It's about something hidden — a fear, an identity conflict, a cost they haven't faced. So I built a tool. 17 questions. Takes 15-20 minutes. It shows you exactly why you're stuck and how to break through — to a clear decision. It's called Breakthrough. $19.50 (normally $39 — 50% off for launch). Make the Breakthrough. https://lnkd.in/gS4GUvEu What's a decision you've been sitting on too long?
