If you're a high achiever who's anything like the people I work with most often, you're always thinking about the next step, and pondering how you'll get to your next level.

You may be making gains in your career, or putting in the work to build your credibility and your personal brand in the process.

But what happens when all your hard work takes you exactly where you wanted it to, but you don't feel quite ready yet on the new level you've rightly earned?

Do you shrink or decide you can't cut it here? Or do you challenge yourself, stretch your legs out, and set out to get more comfortable?

If you've recently found yourself with a new level of client, speaking on a bigger stage, or recently promoted, things may not immediately click at first. 

But give yourself some time, give yourself grace.

You're only on this new level because of all the work you put in before. 

Lean on the steps you took to get to this point, and be confident in my personal mantra that "You've already done the work..."
