What does success mean to you?

/by

You’re not that happy in your job, you may be stuck, and for sure you are exhausted, frustrated, and not thinking straight about the whole thing. And your friends and family aren’t giving you brilliant advice either.

It might be time to slow down and ask yourself a few questions.

My favorite that I love to ask my clients is: What does success mean to you — right now, in this season of your life?

Our definition of success changes over time and you may not have stopped to think about it for awhile – what it means to you right now. Not what you thought when you were young, fresh in the job, not what your parents meant for you and especially not what you ‘should’ be doing. Sit with it for awhile and see what comes up.

Once that’s clear, here’s a few more questions to help you:

What are your non-negotiables, things you have to have in a job?

What would you willing to leave behind?

What should you be saying yes to more often?

What would you regret not trying?

How can you realign or rethink what you are doing?

You can actually reimagine your role from the inside and fall back in love with your work. If it still fits.

The answers are there, waiting for you to give them the space to be heard.

If you’re at a crossroads right now — start here.
