Episode 66 - 5 steps to level up your career
Are you looking to level up your career?
We all seek to grow professionally. It makes us feel capable, gives us more self-confidence, and we have a better salary. However, it is not easy for some to reach this growth, so they feel stuck and can be a little frustrating.
Leveling up our careers depends most part on ourselves. Therefore, if we feel stuck, we must make small changes in ourselves to achieve it.
In this episode, I will be sharing the secret sauce to make this possible. So, press play and discover the 5 steps to level up your career, and the free surprise I got for you. Don't miss it!
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
[5:00] First step: Own your story.
Be proud of where you come from, your studies, your goals, and everything you have achieved. This is a very important part of the process because it will help us with our self-esteem. If we don't feel comfortable with who we are, we will always think that everyone is better than us. Therefore, we will not feel motivated to improve.
[8:28] Second step: Date your inner critic.
It is very important to make amends with our inner critic and learn to only listen to it when it wants to warn us of danger since many times, it can destroy our self-esteem, willpower, stress, or depress us. It is not an easy task, but we can do it.
[14:20] Third step: Mastering your branding.
This is one of the most important steps to level up your career. I know that we hate bragging or talking about ourselves, but it is our best marketing strategy so that others know who we are and what we are capable of. If we don't do it, we will be invisible and we will never be considered for a promotion.
[18:56] Fourth step: Have a clear vision of your future.
Close your eyes and think for a moment about how you want to see yourself in 5 years, and start working on it.
[23:01] Fifth step: Create your math together.
This is the last step to level up your career and it has to do with improving ourselves. Learn more things. Take courses that complement your work. There is always something we have to improve, so start thinking about what it is and take action to achieve it.
