You will face “bitter trials” during the course of your long career. They will never feel good in the moment, but — rest assured — they will pass. Most times, better opportunities await you.
After the failure of my old tech startup, I questioned my talent and capabilities. I doubted myself.
Then, I went through the very exercise that I just published for my premium subscribers this week. I sat down and spent a few days writing what I now call “The Story of You.”
I captured my story using the following questions as prompts…
They don't give much thought to planning their career path, looking for the best employers, and controlling their future until something goes wrong.
Suddenly, they notice that:
- They're being passed over for promotions.
- It's taking longer to find new jobs.
- Their career growth is slowing down.
- Their raises have flatlined.
- They're feeling unhappy, stressed, anxious, worried, and unfulfilled.
Those people who seem happier and more successful than you aren't better than you. They're just more confident, know what they want, and pursue it with a vengeance.
They are in the driver's seat, controlling where their careers and lives are going.
