Don't Let Reasons Hold You Back

As a career coach, people are always talking to me about their careers. We discuss their dreams, wishes, and future plans. But when I ask some of these people how they will implement their plans; their reasons for not moving forward begin to flow.

Their reasons vary. Some people tell me they are too old. Some are too young. Some have the wrong education or not enough. Some have too much experience, while others don’t have as much as they’d like.

Everyone has reasons. The things you say to yourself about why you can’t have what you want in your career. Your reasons are scary to you. But really, your reasons are just a non-productive conversation you keep having with yourself over and over again. And, what gets repeated becomes real.

The Weekly Action Challenge

Your challenge this week is to let go of your reasons.Ask yourself, “What’s preventing me from reaching my career goals?” Write your reasons down. Once you see your reasons, the power they have over you can disappear. Your reasons are out in the open. No more hiding. Now, you can deal with them.

The best piece of advice I can give to anyone is “you can still move forward.” You can still take steps towards what you want. You can reach your goals if you keep working towards them. So, don’t give up.

So what do you say, you only have one life to live so it might as well be a life you love!
