Behind all this BS was a lot of fear, which is normal for anyone taking a bold step toward the great unknown. It's fear that
triggers our need to create "stories" to justify to our friends, colleagues, family and ourselves why we can't have what we
really want.
Over time Dave created new empowering beliefs, defined his career goals, created a strategy, took action, cleaned his bench
of BS, revised his strategy, and took more action. He's grown more eager to trade in his beakers for a Blackberry and is interviewing
for new positions with companies that value his biochemistry background and years of experience on the bench, and appear willing
to put him in a new role.
