June Ryan
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, MA Ed. Best Selling Author
In Mustafa’s book “The Time to Move On” he masterfully dispels myths about resisting the process to make career changes. He goes one step further in projecting that we as humans are wired for change. He inspires his readers to embrace the change that pursuing these new potential roles provide. Another common theme he shares is “Don’t give up”. Through faith, perseverance, passion, and inspiration he didn’t, and if I may be so bold to reemphasize his inspirational insights and make a suggestion, you shouldn’t either! Mustafa is living proof and sets an inspiring example of following the path of your passions and shows you the way. As suggested here by Mustafa, don’t get too comfortable and complacent. Take action NOW! What new skills will you learn today in pursuing your passions, adapting to new opportunities, and fulfilling your dreams? I thoroughly enjoyed his insights. I have no doubt you will too!

Eric Jackier

In coaching people with career issues and going through career changes for over 20 years, I have heard every one of the seven career myths that Mustafa addresses in his book. His keen insights ring true in the real world of career growth and shapeshifting. This is an extraordinarily insightful book by an extraordinarily interesting man. Mustafa’s journey and what he has learned through experience is a must read for anyone feeling trapped in their career—but especially for anyone ready to break free and experience life in a whole new way.

Steven B Welling

Mustafa explains and then dispels seven myths that most of us have wrongly believed to be rules for success. He has walked the walk pursuing his own dreams, from pharmacist to international diplomat, to investment banker, app developer, business success coach, entrepreneur, and now, author. Friends and family tried to talk him out of these career moves, but he wisely listened to his gut and is now living his best life. He wants to help you do the same. Well- researched with fascinating historical references, and full of many inspiring real-life stories, Time to Move On! will educate and inspire you to pursue your own dreams no matter your current situation.
Alaria Taylor
Certified Canfield Trainer in The Success Principles
Armed with captivating storytelling and research-backed statistics, Mustafa attacks the 7 career myths that hold professionals back from pursuing their most fulfilling work. Each chapter leads you from the comfort zone, as explained in Chapter Two, and moves you into a learning and growth mindset. The book is filled with inspiring and personable stories and tests your long-held assumptions about career switching. Readers will leave this book with a new understanding of why and how to make a meaningful and purposeful career transition.
Lisa Spinelli
ACC, Career Coach
Mustafa shows us how, by shifting our mindsets and embracing career shapeshifting, a good life can become even greater. Career shapeshifters are willing to push aside fears and take calculated risks. They are willing to trust and listen to their heart, and focus on possibilities rather than limitations. The payoff is far greater than remaining in the comfort zone of certainty and security. Mustafa demonstrates this first-hand, sharing his own stories as a career shapeshifter. Time to Move On! is a powerful read, and will significantly expand your perspective in becoming aware of the greater possibilities that await you. Highly recommended!
Susan Hayes
CEO & Founder of Active Abundance
What a great inspiration this book is! I have been confronted with many of these career myths over the course of my life—for decades, some of them kept me from finding my calling and pursuing my dreams. I love how Mustafa systematically dismantles the myths that hold back so many of us from living our dreams. His book invites us to rethink old patterns and inspires us to (re)start dreaming big and living our dreams and passions, no matter our age. It is an essential read for young people, inspiring them to live a life of their dreams.
Julica Ortlinghaus
Lawyer, Transformational Trainer, and Founder of Passport to Shine A Youth Empowerment Program
Mustafa takes you on a fascinating journey to busting all the hidden career myths that most people still believe in. It is a must-read for anybody who is stuck in their career and aspires to reach their full potential. I wish I had had a copy of Time to Move On when I was younger, but as a fifty-something year-old entrepreneur, the lessons are still applicable!
Catherine Engmann
Entrepreneur and Certified Canfield Trainer in The Success Principles
Time to Move On! is an inspiring, thought-provoking, easy-to-read book that invites you to expand your vision into infinite possibilities. If you feel stuck in a job that no longer fulfils you, if you want a career change but are afraid of making less money or losing your status quo, if you lack support to pursue a new dream—this book is for you. Mustafa debunks myths and fears around career change at any age and circumstances. He presents a new and refreshing perspective that is aligned with today’s world. And he challenges you to not settle for anything less than your given potential. No matter how old you are or where you come from, you’ll feel empowered to explore new opportunities, leverage your expertise to develop new skills, and design your life in a manner that’s more passionate, interesting, and fulfilling to you.
Laura Figueroa
Inspirational Speaker, Facilitator and Author of From Oppression to Liberation 
As a person with almost 30 years of iterations of my career path, Mustafa’s insights ring essential and true. The myths we tell ourselves to keep us “safe” and “stable” are mindset prisons that we create to hold ourselves back from living passionate, creative, whole lives. As I started reading each of his seven myths, I found myself murmuring “Yes”, and “That one too.” I spent at least ten years hung up on Myth 4, seemingly unable to make a change in my life. What I love most about Time to Move On! is not just that it calls out the self-talk many of us have experienced, but that Mustafa advocates passionately and clearly for us to overcome those feelings through action—and provides personal examples and guidance on doing it.

FAQ’S

In “Time to Move On,” I debunk the seven most common, yet hidden, career myths that can hold individuals back from achieving their professional goals. These myths include the idea that your degree determines your career, that you should only focus on your strengths, that changing your career is risky, that “Jack of all trades is not a master of nothing”, that job hopping is career suicide, that a successful career is a linear process, that salary equals success. By dispelling these myths, I help readers adopt a more realistic and empowering perspective on their careers.

Since the Pandemic, we all heard of a global economic trend called “the Great Resignation” where millions of people around the world left their jobs willingly without any alternatives. The main reasons behind such trends are lack of passion, job dissatisfaction, lack of motivation, suffering high levels of career burnout, and the need of many professionals to reinvent themselves and explore new career challenges. Moreover, it is expected that 1.1 billion jobs would be to be radically transformed by technology in the next decade. Mid-career employees are among the ones likely to be most negatively impacted by this change.
In the light of the above, my book was written to help people to have more control of their careers, work to live and thrive, and reinvent themselves by becoming career shapeshifters.

This book is the result of years of practical experience in successfully pivoting careers from a pharmacist, to a diplomat, to an investment banker, to a business owner, and startup founder. In “Time to Move On”, I share with you all the lessons I learned the hard way during my career journey, so you don’t need to waste your time and life trying to learn these lessons. I have been through all the difficulties and challenges that any one encounters during a career change would go through, and I know how to help you to overcome them.

You don’t have to be a specialist in one narrow category to be successful in your career and life. We’ll explore why life from the other side—as a generalist, a polymath (a person of encyclopedic learning), or a career shapeshifter—is much more interesting. Specialization is fine for bees and ants, but humans were created differently. We need to explore different pursuits and dreams. In the book, I will also show you that the magic happens, but only when you have enough dots to connect across seemingly unrelated careers or domains.
