[00:00:00] Marissa Frois: Friends, you know, even my age, when I tell them I've celebrated 10 years T.E.S., they're shocked. Like they're like I've already had four jobs in that timeframe. So to your point, like even for my age, and I'll let you guys comment on that too.
[00:00:12] It's shocking. Even for my own friends to hear that I've been somewhere for 10 years, you know, Like you said, I think we all kind of face it.

Marissa Frois: That's right in the title right of the book, our little tagline, A Survival Guide For The Battered Career And Investor Syndrome. And I remember when I first started and we went over the book and I read it and I looked at that the Battered Career and Investor Syndrome, it just sounded so like harsh. I'm like, "What is this? And are people actually experiencing this?" And I know we spoke about some of our clients before, but as I got the opportunity to work with clients, and our own coaches, and to hear them tell their stories, I realized how important talking about the Battered Career and Investor Syndrome was because there was a common theme and they were all experiencing exactly that.

[00:00:00] Marissa Frois: So something that I was thinking of, I don't know if it's the right place to use this, but when you were talking about just the Battered Career Syndrome, the Battered Investor Syndrome and even Job Security, right? And what we were talking about, we know colleagues and, and friends of ours that are, you know, constantly being laid off and going through the process of looking for a job, it's kind of like what we talk about, the definition of insanity, right? You keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, but that's just the definition of insanity. You know what you're signing up for, with a job, right? You've already known the time that you've given prior to that and everything from a trade off standpoint that you've given up, but yet you're still going and applying for that next job. It's just like doing that same thing. Over and over again. And so the first part of, of Chapter One is really just talking about some of these harsh realities that we spoke about with you today. The Battered Career Syndrome, the Battered Investor Syndrome, the trade offs that you're making, you know, is job security a thing?
[00:00:56] And it, it might sound just really kind of doom and gloom. And it's unfortunate, but that is the reality of it. But part two of chapter one or the second part of that is really starting to talk about exploring the Possibilities, Options, and, and Dreams and looking at that. And so we talk about the realities, but we start to get into just knowing and exploring those possibilities, opens up this whole new mindset for you, and you realize that the job market is not the only path that you have to take.
[00:01:26] So definitely tune in for, for our next session, because we will start talking about just how to explore those possibilities.

Marissa Frois: It reminds me a lot of just stories that we hear relating with our own franchise, business owners and career ownership coaches out there, and even the clients that they work with. And it's really unfortunate theme that I think we get to hear just by being in the business that we are, but..
Oftentimes, you know, people are saying things to us, like I've given my life to a job, right. I've, uh, missed children's games. I've traveled all the time. I don't get to do the things that I enjoy. And I just feel like I grind all day long. And at the end of the day, I was either laid off or shown the door and I realized I gave all of that time and energy for what?
So it just goes to show you that job security that you think you're striving for every day. Uh, it's just, it's not a thing at the end of the day and a job is a job. And if someone feels at the time, uh, to lay you off is now, it doesn't really matter all of that time and effort and time away from family that you gave, um, you know, to that job.
So really, and I think that that starts to shape up some of the realities of the Career Revolution.
