Making a Career Change After 40 with Jason Holtman

Have you ever thought “It’s too late for me to change careers or
pursue my passion?”

After moving his family several times around the midwest, Jason
Holtman landed what he thought was his "dream job” as the
assistant athletic director for academic services at a Big Ten
school, the University of Wisconsin.

But just a couple of years in, he realized something - he wasn’t
happy, and he noticed it was affecting other areas of his life
like his health and family relationships.

Jason knew he needed a change in his life, but he was now into
his 40s, had a wife, two kids to support and a mortgage to
pay.

After spending 20 years in higher education, he was ready for
something different.

So Jason decided to take a big risk and pursue a career as a
full-time entrepreneur. As a real estate agent, Jason would have
no guaranteed income and no benefits.

Still, he made the switch, and he closed an astonishing 36 deals
in just his first year as a full-time agent.

Jason said he realized his previous two decades working in
academics weren’t a waste, but in fact they gave him what he
calls “transferrable skills."

If you’ve ever thought about making a career change, especially
when the timing seemingly isn’t right, you’ve got to listen to
this episode, as Jason breaks down what he did to make a change
that ultimately led to more fulfillment and happiness in his
life.
