I enjoy including the dancing app BodyGroove into my workout regimen. Misty, the host this morning, made a statement that struck a deep chord with me. I often mention this to the ladies I work with since I’ve experienced it myself in my job.
Nobody is able to dance for you. No one can exert the effort on your behalf. Nobody can help you get healthy and fit. There is no one who can make you more flexible. You are the only one who can keep your body young!
In actuality, that is very much like your career. You can’t have anyone do it for you. Recalling that and coming to that insight has altered my life’s trajectory in three notable instances.
I Felt Awful
The first time was when I was truly unhappy with the way my career was taking. I would eventually find myself on a job path that wasn’t right for me. I wasn’t making use of my strengths, and I didn’t enjoy it. Even worse, I was unable to see a path out. I finally understood that, in addition to boring myself and everyone around me, no one is going to come and solve this; no one can figure it out after I had been complaining about it for a very long time. Just me. That moment of accepting responsibility for a successful career shift changed everything. Focusing on “what do I need to do to fix this,” I looked for the solutions and assistance I required. The secret was to make it happen for me.
I Was Content But Not Making Any Progress
The second instance occurred during my time working for a corporation. I had a passion for what I was doing. I was enthusiastic about what I was doing, and I bounded into work every day. I was growing as a person and operating with strength, passion, and a sense of purpose. And like many women, I worked well above my pay grade to establish my worth. I gave my all because I believed that if I continued to show up and perform well, someone would notice and things would change. Naturally, no one did, no one solved the problem, and no one provided me with what I truly needed!
I came to the realization that I must do this for myself. I must bring it to pass. I therefore conducted study and sought assistance once more. After figuring out the solutions, I contacted my network, increased my visibility, and requested assistance in order to gain recognition. I succeeded, and everything was fantastic once more.
Too Scared To Jump In?
Actually, the third time was when I started my business. While on maternity leave, my friend Fiona and I had launched the company, but we weren’t really sure what the clear course of this new endeavor was. After some time, it became evident that our desires were genuinely different. I am very thankful to Fiona because she gave me the confidence and confidence to start my own company, but she did something else, and I am actually watching her do it, and I really enjoy seeing how it is going. I’ve had that “what am I going to do, how am I going to make this happen” moment. Once more, it was realizing that no one could do this for you. You have to provide for your family, run your business, and maintain your home. You must live your life, and no one will make it better for you. You must dig deep, take action, and accept responsibility, Sinead!
I then set out to find the answers. I sought assistance. After that, I conducted research. I also received assistance. And for myself, I made it happen! There were a ton of tools available to assist me, including podcasts, courses, other mentors and coaches, and of course, friends and family.
Everyday, I Assist Others In Achieving This
They eventually come to the realization that “this is not where I want to be.” Therefore, it may be that they’re not content, that they believe they could be working somewhere better, or that they know they have more to contribute. They might be more recognized and have a more fulfilling career. They’ve come to the conclusion that “I have to fix this for myself; nobody else is coming to do it for me.”
Get support, Assistance, and Answers!
For this reason, you ought to participate in the Kickstart Your Career Challenge with me next week. That’s precisely what you will receive. Support, assistance, and answers! You will see results if you accept responsibility for devoting time and effort to the necessary activities to bring about change.
I also offer you the moves and guide you in the proper way, much like Misty from L2x2 Academy Groove Dance. However, you obtain the results you want by doing it your way, at your own pace and rhythm.
And there may be significant outcomes. Women who have completed this challenge have seen significant increases in their impact and visibility, as well as significant promotions, changes in their jobs, and pay increases. Their confidence and feeling of self have altered, and they are now more concerned with accepting personal responsibility. Their prosperity and happiness are their main priorities. I enjoy the challenge because I get to see everything happen!
