So many operate in our jobs with a level of fear. We feel like we can’t say anything or do anything wrong because we’re afraid of being fired. Showing up for yourself, setting expectations, and asking questions is not being confrontational. It’s taking control of your career, and it’s all about changing your mindset towards your work, boss, and employer. Doing whatever you have to do to keep your job is the fastest way to lose control over your career. Your relationship with your boss should be a partnership, not a dictatorship.

Confidence is the number one thing that a lot of people struggle with. In fact, most of us are actually being held back not by our skills or experience but by how we think about ourselves. Being more confident is not about being better than your colleagues. It’s all about knowing your role, why you are there and how you go there. A lot of insecurities we go through in our careers are based upon things and assumptions that are not even true and, most of the time, have nothing to do with our careers. Understanding your insecurities, role, and why you are will enable you to see your value and help you stop downplaying yourself.

We are living in times where we can’t afford to get so comfortable anymore, and this fact forces us to change our way of thinking. So many are afraid of being job hoppers, but being a job holder for so many years doesn’t make you a hero, especially when a job is not serving you. When you stay in a job because of the pay or are afraid to hop, you get hurt. Don’t break your neck in a job that you don’t enjoy because of fear. It’s not worth it! Staying in a company for so long not only dries your skillset, stagnates your income, and lowers your ability to look for opportunities but also makes the company feel like they are your only option.

Many people think that to move up the career ladder, they have to work for long hours or say yes to every assignment. What ends up happening is the complete opposite. They get stuck and don’t advance. There is no one way or path to advancing your career, but whatever strategy is used, it should be done on your terms. However, so many of us take too long to advocate for ourselves that by the time we realize it, we are exhausted and burned out from spending so much time overworking ourselves and still in the same place. Career advancement is all about advocating for yourself, not overworking to prove yourself. So many overwork themselves because they do not understand their role in your company's success. Second-guessing yourself, not trusting your skillset, and putting unnecessary pressure on yourself will set you back so far.

When thinking of fear in our career, the first thing that always pops up is fear of failure, but more often than not, so many of us are scared that we may get the success we want. People don’t talk about fear of success, but it is much more common than we think and often leads to self-sabotage. There are many reasons we fear success; in most cases, it is steered by our experience with what we have seen successful people do.

If your job is not working for you and you find yourself in the same situation time and time again, it might be time to look within to see what you can change for a better outcome. There is a season when you may need survival jobs, but when you act out of desperation at all times, you put yourself in a vulnerable spot where you cannot pick a good fit. Finding that one job and staying there to build your retirement fund or until you're thrown out will not help you thrive.

We all want to be promoted on our own terms but striving to be irreplaceable in your company will not help you achieve your goal. When people strive to be irreplaceable, they don't have boundaries, or clear expectations, overwork themselves and become pleasers. When your company feels like nobody else can do the job like you, they don't see you for other positions except that. Striving to be irreplaceable and overworking yourself does not work in your favor.
