The Epic Mistake Keeping You Stuck in an Unfulfilling Career (And The Shockingly Simple Solution)


Heeyyy Career Genius!

Happy Labor Day Weekend! This holiday is always bittersweet for me. Not only does it mark the end of summer, it is also the beginning of nonstop football commentary in my house. 🙄

💡 Did you know Labor Day is observed the first Monday in September to celebrate the social and economic achievements of American workers?

Yes, boo! Go ahead and celebrate yourself for all the visible and invisible work you do every single day.

And while you are celebrating, go ahead and give yourself permission to pursue the type of work that sets your soul on fire.

Deep Thought

In the Facebook Group, I shared the major mistake Career Geniuses make that keeps them stuck in unfulfilling careers.

Drum roll - They fail to give themselves permission to pursue something new.

You might be rolling your eyes. But, here's the reality - if you have not told yourself it is okay to chase after something new, you will not take the steps you need to take to get it.

Why? Because so much of what you is a function of what you believe and the imaginary rules you chose to follow.

If you are struggling to give yourself permission, check out the video and grab 3 simple shifts you need to make so you can pursue what you want in your work.
