Tiny Leaps, Big Changes

This episode is about how to get a better job by beating your limiting beliefs. 

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. You've probably heard this quote before. It's supposedly from Wayne Gretzky, the Hall of Fame hockey player who scored 2,857 points in his career and it spread like wildfire in recent years.    It's easy to see why this quote speaks to something that we all experience and struggle. Especially in our job search.   

 Have you ever looked at a job listing or a potential promotion and thought to yourself, I can't do that. Maybe you've  gone as far as to not apply to a particular position because you didn't think you had the requirements or maybe right when things were working out for you, you stepped on the brakes and slowed down because you were too scared of what would happen if you kept going.   

This is something we all do in some form or another, and I call it self elimination. Self elimination is the process of removing yourself from consideration based on your own insecurities  and it's often tough to navigate because how do you know if you're self eliminating or if you just really aren't qualified for the job?   But unfortunately, the effects of getting it wrong can be massive. Self elimination leads to stagnation. 

It causes us to only reach for and accept positions that we know will be comfortable in. By definition, this keeps us locked in a cyclical pattern, limiting our earning potential, limiting our ability to serve our family and our larger community, and even in some cases affecting our overall happiness.  

So it's a real problem. Let's talk about it.

Hey, Hey, Greg. Clunis here. First off, thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode. I do want to let you know the episode you're about to listen to is a replay. It's one of our best performing episodes from this past January. And the reason we're doing a replay today is that I am working on a much more involved episode. That's going to release next week. So I'm scripting, I'm researching. Putting together something that's going to publish next Wednesday. So next Wednesday on the 28th of September, I'm going to have a brand new episode for you. 

And until then, please enjoy this replay. On how to avoid overwhelm.

This is a video about quiet quitting, quiet firing, and why capitalism leads to abusive relationships.  

"Quiet quitting is an application of work-to-rule, in which employees work within defined work hours and engage solely in activities within those hours. The philosophy of quiet quitting, despite the name, is not connected to quitting a job, but rather doing exactly what the job requires."   

"Definitions of quiet firing range from employers who actively make working conditions miserable  to managers who deny time, resources or opportunities to employees, thereby encouraging them to leave without dismissing them outright."
