How do you know it is the job

and not some other reason that is

causing this work stress? After

all, work stress can be caused by

being given too much to do,

having responsibilities beyond

your training, being micromanaged and being given little or no control over what you do, to name a few.

After working with people

with high work stress for

the last 14 years, I’ve

found some clues to

determine if the job they

are in is not a good match

for them.

If you have 0 to 1 Yes’s…

Congratulations – you are probably in a career that matches you. You are in the minority in society and you can be a role model to others. I may want to interview you for my next book.*

If you have 2-3 Yes’s…

The career you are in may not be a good match for you. However, it could also mean that you are shy and don’t like talking about your work or that your passion is focused on activities outside of work.*

If you have more than 3 Yes’s…

You are probably working in a career that doesn’t match who you really are.

Unfortunately, this not only affects you at work, it also hurts your happiness, lowers your confidence, makes you feel more like an imposter and raises your stress levels, which can cause chronic pain and physical illness.*

But all is not lost. The first step to solving any problem is to recognize what the problem is. If it is not a good match, I have never seen more money, more power, more benefits or more status change your feelings about your career for very long.

*Note: Many Yes’s could also mean that your emotions and sensations have been suppressed because of past traumas. If you have difficulty feeling happy, excited or passionate anywhere in your life, you should probably seek help form a professional mental health therapist.

“Thank you for allowing me to discover my passion freely – without restrictions. It was the first time in my life that I have been given a chance to do this.”

-

BT, transformed from Sales to Blogger

“I’m grateful for all the help you have given me. I think I most appreciate how you strike a balance between being soulful and practical. You push me to really pursue my passion and what my gut tells me will make me happy; however, you balance that with a rational, level-headedness which helps the conservative skeptic in me grant me license to go for it.”

-

SP, transformed from Financial Investor to APP Creator

“Thank you. You literally gave me my life back when I was spiralling and didn’t see it. Everyone in my life knows who Dr. Sam is and wants a Dr. Sam of their own. When I see people thinking they couldn’t have a different job, I feel sad because I was once there and it is so difficult to see the light when you are stuck.”

CK, transformed from Banking to Dog Trainer

I’m Sam. Founder and strategist at Dreams For Real Inc. My mission is to awaken people who are suffering from stress from their uninspiring jobs and guide them to discover their own unique Dream Career, filled with passion and purpose.

I have found that the old paradigm of work – get a good education, do well at school, get a good job with a good benefit and retirement package and you are set for life – no longer works.

It is missing a key ingredient – EMOTIONAL CONNECTION!

I created a NEW Paradigm for Work: Uncover your passions, your purpose and what gives you meaning. Then go out and find a career that matches YOU.

I’ve used this new formula to help hundreds of clients over the last 14 years transform their work lives.

I have put in hundreds of hours of research and thousands of dollars on education including psychology, neuroscience and business courses to help people understand why they get stuck in dead-end jobs and how they can begin transforming their lives from the inside out.
