It's true that the volatility created by Covid caused nearly everyone to reevaluate their work. Many experienced remote work for the first time and decided they would make that a priority from now on. Others heard about the desperate search for workers by hundreds of companies and decided to explore what seemed like easy options to advance or even change careers only to experience shift shock. We've heard terms like "quiet quitting", "resenteeism", "bare minimum Mondays", "act your wage" and "sheltering in place" to describe simply tolerating a job in exchange for the paycheck.

If you identify with any of these terms - it's time to move on.

I'm also going to give you 5 clear indicators of how you may be feeling that are even more pressing reasons you need to take action - now.

And I have two Christmas movie recommendations that build on everything we talk about here on this podcast all through the year - as guiding principles to build your true success.

Our potential for wealth is not shown in our bank account as much as it is in the attitude of our heart. Give generously and "wealth" of all kinds will start to move toward you.

We've got just a couple of questions today - and a couple of short stories to emphasize the importance of gratitude.

So, grab your cup of tea - or maybe your Mt. Dew - and get ready for a power-packed episode filled with practical advice, inspiring stories, and valuable resources to help maximize your opportunities.

Here are three key takeaways from the episode that I believe can have a significant impact on your career journey:

Attitude = Wealth: The potential for wealth lies within the attitude of our hearts. Cultivating gratitude and adopting a positive outlook can bring not only financial success but also improved well-being, reduced stress, enhanced relationships, and greater happiness. Let's embrace positivity and express gratitude in our professional and personal lives.

Find Your Unique Value: In today's challenging job market with unexpected changes, it's essential to become a person of value. Instead of getting frustrated with limited opportunities, focus on identifying your unique skills and value proposition. Explore creative endeavors, provide unique services, and see how you can make a difference in your industry. Remember, success comes from attitude, optimism, faith, and positive action.

Express Gratitude and Give Generously: The power of expressing gratitude cannot be underestimated. Not only does it improve our mental health and overall well-being, but it also strengthens relationships, enhances resilience, and boosts motivation. Even during financially challenging times, let's embrace the practice of giving generously, whether it's through kind words, gestures of appreciation, or sharing resources with others.

PLUS how I start each day.
