The Courage to Step Out

 Are you looking to grow in your career and improve your life? Do you have ideas about what you would like to see in your career and life? What are you doing to make things happen?

Every day you don’t act on the ideas that you have for your career and/or personal life is a day that you cannot get back. Not to be dramatic, but time is a commodity that you can’t get back. For many years, fears and doubts stifled the level of progress and the results I saw in my career and life. I had great ideas, however, I was not fully executing on those ideas because I was scared of putting myself out there and what this would mean for me. I was blocking myself and getting in my own way. I got the education (still paying back student loans), was building my professional experience, but I was still staying in my comfort zone. Eventually reality visited and reminded me that I was getting older and if I didn’t execute on my ideas, I would have to live with a deferred dream. The story I was telling myself about the reason for ‘not doing’ was no longer working for me. Keeping myself safe was no longer making it for me.

Do I still get scared, heck yes! However, I no longer wanted to think and overthink about what I wanted. I decided to take a risk on myself, I made a decision to put one foot in front of the other and move forward. Today, I use the lessons I’ve learned along my journey to support professionals in managing the direction of their careers and creating the lives they desire. I encourage you to get clear on your values and the vision you have for your career and life – reconnect with your core essence and your greatness. Trust yourself, take a step forward in the direction in which you want to go.
