How the 86% of Americans Who Dislike Their Jobs Can Blaze a New Path in 2016
Tom Scarda shares baby steps for conquering fear and climbing out of ruts
LONG ISLAND, N.Y., Dec. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On Jan. 4, 86 percent of U.S. workers will grudgingly wake up, get dressed, grab some coffee, and shuffle off to a job they can't stand. Many will do so because they feel stuck. But they really aren't, says Tom Scarda, a man who made a big change in his own life 14 years ago when he quit his decade-long job working for the New York Subway system and Long Island Railroad to buy a smoothie franchise. Scarda did very well, selling his franchise five years later with enough money to retire, and now he offers advice to others who are dissatisfied with their lives but don't know where to turn.

As the author of The Magic of Uncertainty, Scarda knows that what holds most people back from making changes to their lives is fear. But he says those same fears hold the key to finding what people are meant to do.
Scarda can talk about:
- Starting a new life by taking baby steps. Depending on the individual, this could mean enrolling in an in-person or online class or taking the stage at open mic night.
- Getting priceless advice from people you don't know—even celebrities—who are willing to offer you free support.
- Making a list of what you fear and identifying a pattern.
- Creating affirmations to counteract your fears and using the alarm on your smartphone to alert you three times a day to say your affirmations out loud.
- Franchising trends including why more baby boomers are choosing franchises.
