Stop Waiting for Permission: Why You Need to Take Control of Your Career Right Now

Let’s cut the crap.

Too many people are stuck in careers they don’t love.

Doing work that doesn’t inspire them at all.

They either gave up or waiting for something.

Waiting for someone to notice their hard work.

Waiting for an opportunity to land in their lap.

Waiting for permission to take the next step.

But…no one is going to give you permission.

No one will hand you your dream job on a silver platter.

If you want something, you have to go out there and take it.

Most people do not care about your success as much as you do.

Think about it.

How many times have you held back from asking for a promotion because you thought “I’m not ready”?

How many times have you bit your tongue in a meeting because you were afraid of what others might think?

I know it is much easier said than done.

But it won’t get any easier if you don’t keep trying.

No one will promote you unless they see you as a leader.

Opportunities do not wait around forever.

Your growth depends on you, and you only.

How to take control of your career today?

1. Start acting like the person you want to be

2. Stop asking for permission - just go do it

3. Set your own goals on your own timeline

4. Make your presence known

5. Do not be afraid to fail

Stop waiting. If you want to own your career, it starts with action - today.

The only permission you need is your own.

Until next time,
