And so we end up feeling more and more frustrated. We shift from one thing to another when we're impatient for results. It's the same when building the career of our dreams.

If you're feeling like things aren't moving, maybe you just need a little patience. It's hard, I know, when you're ambitious, you feel like you're on the clock, and running out of time. But the whole point of it all is the journey, and what you make out of it. Whether you enjoy yourself on this journey, burn yourself out, or worry about it non-stop. Take a moment today to reflect back on the dots in your life and career thus far.

The value is in the process where you make mistakes and learn. But there comes a point where repeatedly going in circles doing this gets you nowhere. It can keep you stuck in the same place for too long unnecessarily because of The uncertainty and doubt wondering if you’re doing the right thing The...
Reader, The company where I work my day job is in the midst of an acquisition. This means many employees feel insecure about their jobs. When I recently conducted training, several colleagues were commenting about how people were feeling fearful. They asked me for advice (translation: reassurance they would be ok). I understand these are uncertain times that can be frightening. As the primary provider, I know this worry firsthand - of not having an income while having a family to support....
