Overcoming Roadblocks in Your Life And Career

Do you ever just feel stuck?

You’ve had the same job for years, maybe even decades.

You find yourself going through the motions day in and day out.

You stay exactly where you’re at out of obligation or fear.

Roadblocks like this are all too common, women are always telling me they want to make a massive shift in their life or career, but they feel stuck. It does not feel safe to venture out and get a new position or they tell themselves there is nothing better then what they have.

In reality there is always something better out there!

You do not have to keep experiencing roadblock after roadblock. I have been there.

At points in my career I felt stuck. I feared the unknown and how was I going to find a new job or something better when my current job was often times better then others? This mentality kept me complacent.

Why was I even worrying about what my friends, family or counterparts were doing or thought of me? I was playing small. Do you relate?

Well I am here to tell you, you do not have to play small. In fact, you never should play small. Does that sound scary? Well it can be but it does not have to be.

Here are my favorite tips for overcoming roadblocks 👇

👜 Don’t compare yourself to others, there is always someone with more of what you want. This keeps you small with focus on others and not on improving your situation.

👜 Commit to change. This allows you to take the next step and make it happen.

👜 Take action, go to a Networking event, look for new positions online, ask your friend and family if they know of new positions.

👜 Always, I mean always have an up to date resume. You never know when you find an opportunity and you want to be able to move on it.

👜 Speak with your manager on how you can improve your current situation. Do you need more training, more responsibility, something different to strive for.

👜 Believe in yourself. You have skills and would not be where you are today without them. You are a valuable addition to any job and once you know that, people believe it too.
