21: Keith Fiscus | Discovering Your Passion
How can you avoid making some of the biggest rookie mistakes that young professionals make?
On today’s show, we interview the incredible Keith Fiscus, CEO, Innovative Career Resources & Staffing who shares with us wisdom on career exploration, entrepreneurship, and excellence.
As always, we start this show with our guest, Keith sharing his unique definition of excellence.
You will learn how you can get a leg up on the competition, and make massive career gains in your chosen profession.
Growing up, Keith wanted to emulate his uncle, who was a doctor by profession. So, it was hardly surprising that he went on to work in the military as a combat medic.
However, he decided to pursue entrepreneurship to satisfy his dual needs of greater freedom and better work-life balance.
So, exactly 19 years back, a newly married Keith chucked his W-2 day job and took on a loan of $50,000 to pursue his passion.
Admittedly, not having a safety net was hugely unnerving for Keith. But a supportive family helped Keith tide out this transitionary phase.
On today’s show, you will learn how you can avoid some of the biggest mistakes that young people make when they are about to step into professional life.
Specifically, you will learn the importance of professionalism, continuous learning, and resilience. You will also learn how to pick a career that is right for you. And how to pivot and change course when you find better opportunities along the way.
Enjoy!
