It's easy to get stuck in a rut.We've all been there:- Doubting our skills- Wondering if our work matters- Staring at a blank screen, paralyzed by indecision- Feeling overwhelmed by the daily grindBut here's the truth: Success in any career isn't about avoiding these feelings. It's about pushing through them.The real challenge? Taking action despite self-doubt. Making something real. Trying to make a difference, both in your own career and for others.Here's what I've learned about resilience:1. Acknowledge the struggle. It's normal and you're not alone.2. Set small, achievable daily goals. Progress, no matter how small, builds momentum.3. Celebrate your wins, no matter how minor they seem.4. Connect with mentors or peers who can offer support and perspective.5. Remember why you started. Reconnect with your passion and purpose.The key is consistency. Show up every day. Do the hard work. Learn from setbacks. And never, ever give up on your dreams.What strategies do you use to stay motivated in your career?

If you don’t know which road to take to reach your goal, any road will take you there. 🛣️This old saying 💬 couldn't be more true in the professional world. Without a clear roadmap, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle and lose sight of your ultimate destination. 🎯As someone who has experienced the importance of having a plan firsthand, I can attest to the critical role it plays in achieving success. 🎉Whether you're starting out on a new career path or striving for a promotion, knowing where you're headed and how you'll get there is key. 🔑Of course, having a roadmap is only half the battle. 🌗 It's equally important to follow it and make adjustments along the way as needed. Ignoring your plan can be just as detrimental as not having one at all. So, take it from me: if you want to reach your professional goals, take the time to create a roadmap and stick to it. It may not always be easy, but it will be worth it in the end. 🎯

🚀 Taking Charge of Your Career Journey! 🚀Hey LinkedIn fam! 👋 Today, let’s talk about something on my mind: taking control of your career goals. It’s time to break free from others’ expectations and forge your own path. Let’s dive in!Growing up, we face expectations from parents, teachers, and society. But here’s the kicker: success is personal. Your passion and dreams are unique. So why let others define success for you?Your happiness matters. Life’s too short for a job that doesn’t align with your true self. Don’t settle for someone else’s idea of the right path.Now, I get it; taking control is scary. But trust me, the rewards are worth it. Following your path brings unparalleled fulfillment. Imagine waking up eager to face challenges because you’re doing what you love.Starting isn’t a walk in the park. Reflect on your passions, set achievable goals, and make a plan. Stumbling is part of the journey; use setbacks as stepping stones to success.Surround yourself with supportive folks. Seek mentors who’ve been there. Believe in yourself; you’re the architect of your future.Let’s ditch others’ career scripts. Seize control, follow your passions, and create a life you love. Remember, you’ve got this! I believe in you. 🌟#CareerGoals #PassionDrivenLife #BelieveInYourself #CareerJourney

What do you do when you are in the midst of what feels like your single greatest career failure, and you can't see a way out?🛑 STOP! Stop what you are doing. Take an hour. A day. A weekend.📏 TAKE MEASURE. Identify where you are in the process. To what extent changes may be harmful or helpful. Determine who has helped you and how they contributed.💡 THINK. Think over your options. Plan out potential pitfalls or challenges. Identify potential wins. Identify people who can help you plan. Identify people that will be champions of the new approach. Gather information.🎬 ACT. Take a beat after you have laid out potential options and outcomes to give yourself time to adjust. Then, do it. Pull in resources. Get everyone on the same page. Move forward.WHAT NOT TO DO:🚫 Keep going.🚫 Compound the problems by layering more problems over them.🚫 Ignore the issues and hope they go away.🚫 Wallow in misery alone and terrified to try something else.

Recently, I was asked, "If you could change one thing in your career from the past 10 years, what would it be?" This question struck me deeply, presenting a choice like to swallowing a magic pill that could rewrite history—at the expense of giving away the wisdom and experiences I've gathered.The idea of instantly correcting past decisions is tempting. Yet, I realized that each step, each challenge, and each "mistake" over the last decade has been instrumental in shaping my resilience, character, and skills. The journey, with its mosaic of triumphs and setbacks, has been my greatest teacher, offering lessons in adaptability, growth mindset, and the true essence of achievement.Reflecting on this, I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything. They've taught me that success isn't just about the destination but about the journey and the person we become along the way. Erasing any part of this journey would mean losing invaluable insights and the profound satisfaction of personal evolution.Have you ever faced a moment in your career where you wished for a magic pill to change something from your past? What experiences have shaped you into the professional you are today? Please share your thoughts and reflections.A Valuable Practical Tool for Doubtful Moments:This will be a great resource for those moments when you're doubting yourself, as if longing to take this “magic pill.” Create a list of your successes, big and small. Immerse yourself in this list; it will undoubtedly shift your perspective and remind you of your journey's value and your capability to navigate the path ahead.Your experiences and insights are a treasure trove of wisdom.

Success isn't always found far from home. Too often, we find ourselves peering over fences, gazing at what we perceive to be greener pastures. However, the vibrancy of the grass is not a result of which side it's on, but how meticulously it's nurtured. Consider this in a professional context. Your current role might seem tedious or lacking in opportunities. But instead of seeking satisfaction elsewhere, why not focus on nurturing the role you're in? I remember early in my career, I was restless in a position that did not seem to promise growth. Instead of jumping ship, I decided to cultivate my present role. I sought training, took on challenges outside my job description, and before I knew it, I was not only enjoying my work but also progressing at an unprecedented pace. Your 'plot of grass', your current position, can flourish under diligent and dedicated care. This includes engaging in ongoing professional development, seeking feedback, and embracing the challenges of your present role. Before looking elsewhere, ask yourself: Have I fully explored and exhausted the opportunities available where I am now? Take care of your grass. Nurture it. And you might just find that the richest shade of green is right under your feet.

Some interesting sharing for the weekend... 🎉🚀 Navigating Your Career and Life: Two Approaches 🚀1) Structured Approach: Understanding SELF with guidance and support to chart out the journey.2️) Go with the Flow: Finding your own way and handling things as they come.Both paths can lead to success, but in my experience, the first one is a game-changer. It saves time, money, and energy. 🌟Looking back at the start of my career, I never knew that the first approach existed, so I went with the flow (option 2). However it took me a solid "10-12 years" to find the right career and settle down — a long and winding journey. ⏳Success isn't just about the destination; it's about enjoying the process. The structured approach provides a solid foundation, helps you get a quick start, and lets you enjoy the journey (rather than struggling it out). This is one reason I created KNOW YOUR CQ. 🌐✨ Try it now and discover your Career Quotient (CQ)! ✨🔗 https://lnkd.in/gMVhU-ez

Breaking through barriers: How facing my fears boosted my career Okey, let me redefine the career part. No, I don’t have that big money making career (yet). But I do believe, that I was able to change my career PATH in a positive and more aligned way. Aligned with my goals and dreams in life, with my values and my beliefs. Studying a little bit of something here, studying a little bit more there. Hopping from job to job every few years. Each stop was a great experience, don’t get me wrong. But eventually there would always come a point where it just didn’t feel right anymore. Have you ever experienced that? It’s “okey”, but well, that’s it. Okey-ish. I’ve had the dream of starting my own business for years. I always wondered “what if …” and “imagine if I would …”, but I never even thought about actually doing it. Why? Because I was scared. As I bet many people are. And I mean not just about starting a business or working as self-employed. This can also be for example dreaming about going (back) to university, applying for that amazing job opening, asking for a change in position or doing that course you’d love to do. So the question to ask ourselves is: Why am I so scared? Well, where to start:Fear of failureFear of judgementFear of making yourself visibleFear of disappointment.And that wonderful mindset of “I can’t do this”. But ….… what if, just what if we change that “I can’t do this” into “I can do this”? … what if we listen in and to our intuition, that quiet voice inside and take a little step in the direction it is guiding us?… what if we break our fears down into little steps, so we can face it one by one, instead of all of it at once? Fast forward and here we are. Me, on a mission to (for real!) start my own business. And a big part of it is to share my story along the way. What are some fears you have dealt with/are dealing with? And a success you had by facing it? Let’s celebrate each other!! 🥳💛#personaljourney #change #breakingbarriers #growthmindset
