It’s never too late to start over, it’s never too late to change course, it’s never too late to be who you want to be or to create the life you want to live. If you are thinking about a career change but you are afraid to take the step, in this article you will find some inspiring stories of people who have changed their lives with a professional retraining, of brave people who reinvented themselves and bet on their future and managed to succeed.
One of the first examples of professional retraining was found in Spain with “Chef Bosquet”. This popular Instagram chef named Roberto Bosquet has an inspiring story of professional reinvention. For a few years of his life he practiced as a firefighter, but little by little he started sharing his passion for healthy, but delicious-looking recipes on social networks.
Within a couple of years he had become one of the most popular culinary influencers on the networks in Spain, especially among athletes and in the fitness sector, making the most of the potential of new technologies to be able to create his new future.
Also in Spain we find examples such as Pere Subirats, who worked as a farmer until the day he decided to create ‘Kilómetro cero’, a company dedicated to selling prepared meat and sausages to different butchers, without intermediaries. Or that of Xavier Rocher, an automobile entrepreneur who decided to follow his passion and set up the Bric-Barca nautical school to train recreational boat skippers and to rent out boat trips for tourists.
Similarly, there are many more success stories of people who managed to turn their careers around and find their true talent. For example, American Vera Wang competed in figure skating, reinvented herself as a journalist when she finished her sports career and decided to change her life at 40, becoming one of the most important fashion designers in the world.
However, one of the most popular and inspiring cases is undoubtedly that of Steve Jobs. The founder of the Apple brand did not graduate from university because he did not find anything motivating in what he was studying. Thus, he decided to follow only the classes that caught his attention, such as typography. Thus he became an expert and ten years later he designed the first Mac computer, adding different types of typography and creating one of the most valued technological firms in the world.
On the other hand, the popular actor Harrison Ford tried many different professions, he studied English literature to later work as a carpenter and finally reinvented himself by studying drama and managed to succeed as an actor when George Lucas chose him because he saw a completely different “force” inside him.
Jeff Bezos, the creator of Amazon studied Computer Science and Electrical Engineering to end up on Wall Street and decided to reinvent himself later following his dream of creating an e-commerce in which he could apply all his vision in business. The anecdote of how he started everything in the garage of his house, together with his wife and with only three servers stands out.
Finally, we find the story of one of the people who has changed careers the most throughout his life. Will Smith started out as a rapper, made some bad decisions and lost popularity, only to win it back with his role in “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”, reinventing himself professionally. From here he became a successful actor in Hollywood and currently he is also a presenter, influencer and a recognized public figure.
As you can see, it is never too late to choose a new change or to create it yourself and nowadays, one of the best ways to reinvent yourself is to bet on Web3, on the future and on the different implementations, solutions and alternatives that this new reality can offer us.
