“NOT UNTIL IT’S PERFECT” • I can’t tell you how many times I have missed out on an opportunity because I was waiting for “the perfect time, day, way, etc.” Thinking that the longer I wait, I’ll probably get it closer to my standard of perfection. You know what I find along the way? Sometimes, more “time” is just creating the space for me to lose interest and passion. . Guilty as well? Good. I have a challenge for you. Give yourself the space to get ahead of yourself on a project you’ve been working on. Announce or launch something “too early.” Take step 2 and 3 at the same time. Etc. You might find that it’s going to help you get UNSTUCK from the place you’re at if you aren’t moving forward. . On that note, I should tell you that I am using my handy dandy LIFE COACH training and mixing it with a special thing I’m most passionate about helping you with. I am shifting my coaching focus to CAREER COACHING (more to come!). . And because job hunting is a challenge, and even harder during this time, I am giving anyone that needs it ~FREE RESUME REVIEWS~ over the next week. I dropped a link in bio for you to sign up!
