Many individuals find themselves grappling with the elusiveness of desired career outcomes, be it improving boss relations, securing a new title, conquering a project, or honing fresh leadership skills. Striving for novel career results often unfurls an array of dissonant emotions like self-criticism, frustration, evasion, and anxiety – hardly a thrilling prospect, is it?

Contrary to a carefree escapade, the pursuit of goals can resemble a turbulent rollercoaster ride that churns your stomach. The truth? Most goals don't come with a joyride. It's more akin to a stomach-churning rollercoaster. Knowing that emotional turmoil is part of the price, what's your approach?

Prepare for an exploration of not just what needs to be done, but how to navigate these waters. If you share my penchant for stubbornness, this podcast is sure to strike a chord.

While some believe a career plan is unnecessary, relying solely on excelling at your job, it's crucial to recognize that your job and your career are distinct entities.

While some of these strategies might intersect with your job, purposefully handling them can expedite your career progression and unlock the success you rightfully deserve. 

The beauty? You need not devote more time if you're unwilling. Intriguing, isn't it? This isn't just about "working smart" to fulfill your job requirements; it's about crafting a meticulously planned career journey that defines working smart for your personal triumph.

Goals are born from visions of success, yet as the year turns, we're poised to start anew, leaving past failures behind. 

We set fresh goals with fervor, but here's the catch – most folks abandon these aspirations within a mere month. What divides the dreamers from the achievers? A pivotal aspect is acknowledging the hefty workload involved. 

Success necessitates unwavering focus, dedication, and the taxing task of managing your mind along the journey. To lend a hand, I'm exposing the primary reason goal dreamers falter, so you can sidestep these pitfalls. 

However, the ace up the achiever's sleeve is their attitude. Their triumph lies in their perspective towards the goal, with thoughts that steer their actions. 

Tune in to uncover the top four thoughts that empower successful individuals to persevere until they triumph over their goals in this episode.

It's astonishing how many people have a career plan but hardly put it to use – seldom following, reviewing, or even glancing at it throughout the year. 

It's a squandered opportunity, akin to ignoring the lowest-hanging fruit. Yet, simply telling you this won't likely spur action; we tend to evade beneficial tasks. It's a quirk of our brain's design. Instead, let's focus on what's slipping through your fingers by neglecting your career plan.

The dilemma "I think I want to change careers" is one I encounter frequently.

Usually, people struggle with that back and forth for a while. And if that’s you, then you absolutely need to listen to this episode.

How do you know if it’s time to change careers? How do you know it’s not just a phase or a quick or easy way out of a bad situation? 

Let's cut to the chase: swapping careers isn't a walk in the park. It's no quick-fix solution, and it definitely won't come easy. So, before you take the plunge, you better be certain. Here’s what I DON’T recommend you do:

- Don't jump at the first neat idea.
- Don't quit and figure it out later.
- Don't make any sudden moves if you’re feeling fed-up, exhausted, and angry.

I’m not saying you can’t figure it out, but why make success harder than it has to be?

WARNING… what I’m going to suggest you do isn’t sexy or a quick fix. This work is going to take some effort from you.  But I’m telling you if you put this effort in upfront, you’ll have a much easier time in the back end.

And by the way - if you’re looking for a sexy quick fix to change careers, it’s probably a sign you're seeking change for the wrong reasons.

In this episode, a simple formula for career success is introduced, emphasizing the role of individual mindset and emotions in achieving professional goals. The concept of "Success Intolerance" is revisited, highlighting how self-generated stress, fear, and negativity can hinder progress. 

The podcast underscores the importance of managing mindset and coaching to overcome these barriers. 

In this episode, I’m going to give you my favourite emotion for helping get maximum traction in your career success and give you my mathematical equation to help get there.

The concept of "Success Intolerance" is explored in this episode as a mindset challenge that involves the brain's resistance to pursuing success due to discomfort.

Coined as an alternative to the term "Self-Sabotage," Success Intolerance delves into the thought processes that hinder actions leading to growth and achievement.

The episode defines and discusses this phenomenon, offers insights on recognizing its presence in a work context, and provides strategies for effectively addressing and overcoming it.

In this episode, we’re talking about something I call drama dependency.  I made up this terminology, but it’s based on real cognitive-behavioural principles. 

I love the way it sounds … drama dependency… it sounds so dramatic just saying it.  So meta. That’s why it’s so perfect.

It’s exactly as it sounds - we get dependent on our own drama.  We get unconsciously dependent on something at work being a problem so that we can avoid a bigger problem (usually of our own making). 

And you know this is a real thing because you know those people who are like that.  Everything is an issue.  Nothing can be solved.  Or they’ve been complaining about the same thing for years and don’t do anything about it.

You probably have someone like that on your team.  We totally notice it in other people… but as always, you completely miss when you’re doing it.  

So let’s explore if you are creating and depending on your own drama.  We’re going to talk about why we get drama dependent, how to recognize the signs, and how to start practicing being drama free.
