I'm sorry to tell you, but you won't be able to think yourself into something better suited for your life. Change requires action! 🎬

✨ Have that courageous conversation...
✨ Take the course to start working on your business...
✨ Start saving for your exit...

These are all actionable items that move you closer to your goal. One small step at a time. 🌱

Be the change you want to see. 🀝

It's clichΓ© but it's true. If where you are in your career is what you want or need but the state of the company is in disarray... or your personal needs aren't being met...
..then you may have to be the one to enact the changes you need. ✨

In our chat with Kate and Debbie of Humanity Works, they made it clear that when we want to be and see better within our career we shouldn't make the assumption that we don't have the power to change things. ☝️

It takes awareness to identify what you want and much courage to speak up or shift your own actions to finally see the changes you need.

Alignment won't always happen naturally. Many times YOU will have to be the one to enact change!

Today's challenge: *Smile*

There's been a ton of negativity in the news lately with looming layoffs and a shaky economy. You may be finding it difficult to smile. We get it because the uncertainty of it all can send anyone into a downward spiral.

☝️Instead, we want to encourage you to focus on all the good things headed your way. Like...

πŸ’₯ Financial Freedom
πŸ’₯ Control of your time
πŸ’₯ Mental stability

You CAN have all of that and more. You've already taken the first step by deciding you want it. Keep pushing, friends!β˜€οΈ

You really can't have financial security without disposable income. And without financial security, you may find yourself stuck where you are professionally for quite some time. πŸ˜”

πŸ‘‰ Disposable income allows you the freedom to explore other roles, hobbies, and interests. More importantly, it allows you to save for long-term goals...like quitting your 9 to 5.

You need it, but how do you get it❓

✨ In Episode 4, we went into detail with a money expert about creating a financial plan specifically for when you're ready to leave your job. It starts with taking control of your finances!

I want to encourage you to not get so focused on what you are missing out on but instead, lean into the things you still have that bring you closer to happiness.

Today, let's focus on joy! ✨

The hardest part about navigating a life change is being intentional about what you want.

You want to be a consultant? Great, but are you being intentional in moving the needle to get there? Did you take them to really evaluate if that's what you want?

Oftentimes, we glamourize things without taking time to fully understand if it's right for us.

Deciding to change careers requires deep reflection, time, and sacrifice.

Deciding to take control of your time requires disappointing other people and honing in on aligning your values. Change requires work.

You can ask yourself...

🟑 What do I want more of?
🟑 What do I want less of?
🟑 Can I work alone?
🟑 What am I good at?
🟑 Where do I see my future self?
🟑 When am I happiest?

Take the time to answer these questions and more before you make a huge leap. ✨

Last week, we talked about finding your purpose. This week, we talked about how to get started with consulting. At the center of both, deciding what you want to do in your career requires finding your happy place. πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ

Your happy place exists somewhere between what you've always known and what you want to do in the future. It's where interests, skills, and values collide. πŸ’₯

It's time to get out your pen and pad. On Tuesdays, we journal. ✍️

So, you want to be a consultant? Great! But do you know your area of expertise?

For some of us, it's what we've been doing for the past several years in our current position, while for many others it's something entirely different. Figuring out what it is is really the hardest part of taking the leap.

Take some time to reflect and ask yourself these 4 questions.

What am I good at?
What do I love to do?
What am I willing to do every day?
What will people hire me for?

Use this as a starting point to getting the clarity you need to start consulting.

How do you allow yourself the freedom to do what's right at the moment? Many of us lead linear lives, especially when it comes to our careers. But sometimes, you start to feel stuck in what you are doing and can't seem to find a way out.

πŸ’‘ We have to evaluate why we feel like we have to do things a certain way (upbringing, judgment, environment, etc.) and realize that we don't have the privilege to do things differently.

This week's episode is a game-changer for those feeling stuck professionally, or even personally. Listen now! 🎧

Facing the Fork in the Road

In 2013, I was laid off from a promising job. I was feeling discouraged, professionally neglected and insecure. I wanted to convince myself it was a huge opportunity (with a nice severance package), but it looked more like a slow decline to depression.

And so the fork appeared.

After 14 years, working at an admirable roster of companies that gave me opportunities I had never dreamed of, I wondered if there was something else for me for the hundredth time. Except this time, it felt really real.

Do I dare venture out into the world, put my career and family’s finances at risk, to find something that works better for me? Or do I keep plugging away at this career in which I’ve already invested so much? Do I take the chance that something else out there will make me happier, or stay the course and fight for the corporate success I know I’m worth?
