The Entrepreneur’s Source Explains How to Triumph Over The Battered Career Syndrome
Triumphing Over Battered Career Syndrome: The Entrepreneur’s Source Explains How
Nearly half of all middle-class Americans are not confident in their ability to save sufficiently for retirement. In the post-recession economy, workers are still struggling to gain a foothold on their professional growth. Work satisfaction surveys point an even gloomier employment picture.
Even the growth in worker confidence recorded in the first quarter of 2016 by The Retirement Confidence Survey isn’t enough to combat perpetuating Battered Career Syndrome. Professionals subjected to downsizing, tightening budgets and outsourcing are feeling the burden of the employment climate.
A coaching environment can provide professionals suffering from Battered Career Syndrome a new perspective on career development options. The Entrepreneur’s Sources works with individuals wanting to take control of their professional and personal future to achieve the Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity™ they and their families deserve.
“We want people to stop settling for the ‘New Normal’,” said Terry Powell, founder of The Entrepreneur’s Source, North America’s leading career and franchisee business coaching company. “We are dealing with a New Career Economy domestically and worldwide where employment conditions have forever changed. The days of long-term job security and a lifetime with one company are gone. Employers have been forced to get lean during these economic times, and the lesson they learned is that a smaller workforce can pick up the slack, and employees can do more than one job.”
Powell believes there are four key areas of self-discovery individuals should consider to help determine their best professional path:
Evaluate your Opportunities
Professionals driven to go from Employment to Empowerment® are recommended to create a checkpoint list of necessary desires. Outlining expectations allows an individual to measure performance and set goals.
Assess your Strengths
Identify professional and personal strengths and weaknesses and what opportunities best reinforce an individual’s value in the workplace.
Own a List of Clearly Defined Short- and Long-term Goals
Establishing desired Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity™ (ILWE) goals define the big picture and provides professionals with short- and long-term projects to work toward. By focusing on both short-term (Income and Lifestyle) and long-term objectives (Wealth and Equity), the ILWE creates a framework for long-term application while growing a successful business.
Accept Guidance and Support from Others
Somewhere along the line, accepting help seemed to become synonymous with admitting defeat. Not true! Life throws a million things at the average person, accepting the assistance of a trained professionals demonstrates confidence and strategic thinking. Individuals can better realize their goals by enlisting the help of a career transition coach or business coach.

Rest alone won’t solve burnout if your job is the real issue.
You finally took a break. Maybe it was a long vacation, take some time between jobs, or even a full career pause. You caught up on sleep, unplugged, and started to feel like yourself again. But once you returned to work, the exhaustion crept back in within just a few weeks.
We understand how it feels when you do not hear back.
One person set an alarm for 3 a.m. to be first when new jobs appeared. Another used AI to send over 1,300 applications in a month. Someone else took a video interview from his car while waiting at a food pantry. Over 16 months, he applied to more than 6,000 jobs.
Feeling like your job search will never end?
You’ve applied to countless jobs and updated your résumé over and over. You’ve had interviews that seemed promising, only to get no response. Friends and family are surprised you’re still looking, given your experience. Sometimes, you even skip social events to avoid talking about your search.
