Why Career Transitions Fail

67% of professionals give up on career changes within 6 months. Here's why:

No Clear Plan

Jumping without a roadmap leads to frustration and wasted effort.

Skill Gap Anxiety

Not knowing what skills you need creates paralysis.

Lack of Accountability

Without milestones, it's easy to lose momentum.

Unrealistic Expectations

Not understanding success rates leads to disappointment.
