When someone asks for advice on what they should do, before sharing my thoughts, I always ask them this:
“What’s your end goal?”
You see the most logical best next move to make depends on where you are trying to go exactly.
So sharing my thoughts without any context on where you are trying to head to specifically wouldn’t be very useful advice…
If you want to drive to California, there are only certain highways that lead to Cali from where you are.
Driving the highways to Michigan sounds fun, but it won’t get you to Cali. You could spend a year on those roads and still not make it to Cali.
Even with context on the goal, I can’t tell you what to do…
Cause no matter how much you share, we are different people.
I might want the direct path to Cali.
But you may want to go to Cali but also make 3 additional stops before getting to Cali even if it leads to getting to Cali later.
I can ask questions to guide you toward uncovering why or why not a certain move is best for you.
But the final decision is always yours.
And only you know what you truly want.
What you want:
→ beyond what you are comfortable sharing.
→ beyond what you think is realistic.
→ beyond what you have been socialized to want.
And the thing is…
I encourage you to be bold and courageous in standing true to what you really want.
Most people don’t.
But here’s a little secret that will help you have the audacity to do you 100%…
Absolutely no one in this life knows what they are doing.
We are all just winging it.
People who appear to have it together are simply better at owning their choices, no matter what others think.
They are good at learning the basics, then branching out and making it their own.
They have learned to trust themselves.
They have learned that taking a risk is just as hard as staying comfortable.
How about you…
Do you trust yourself and your choices?
Something that helps me feel more confident about my decisions is reflection.
Thinking back on times I was told no, but I did it anyway.
Times I was told that what I was doing was crazy, but it worked out in the end.
Times I felt like everything was falling apart. But really, it was opening doors to something bigger.
If you take a moment to reflect, you will find that everything works out perfectly in the end.
One time things worked out well for me despite seemingly falling apart was when I was buying my first house.
I didn’t realize everything turned out perfectly, though, until I bought my second house.
You see, I used the lessons that I learned from that first time to test a system that allowed me to never stress about raises at work.
I’m sharing that system during my C.A.S.H. Moves workshop.
C.A.S.H is my step-by-step system that, when applied, can be used to give yourself a raise whenever you want it.
It’s the basics that you may need to get you to the figurative “Cali” in the fashion you find works best for you.
Will you be joining me?
DM me and I’ll send you the deets on how to save your seat for the workshop.
