This is something that I've seen very often throughout my work as a career strategist and helping individuals to rise in their careers is we often think that the solution to why we're feeling stuck why we're feeling unhappy why we're feeling unfulfilled in our current jobs would be another job we think that another job is going to offer us that and then what I've seen happen because I've helped hundreds and thousands of people at this point to land new job offers is that they'll get that next job and then after a little while they realize they still feel the same way and so this is why what I've learned ultimately comes down to it's not the job that's going to solve your problems it's how you feel about yourself it's the shift that you have within yourself so what I mean by that is for me as an example when I switched from accounting to recruiting that did solve a certain problem for me in the sense that I was able to discover my gifts and talents I was able to find that I was actually very good at working with people that recruiting and helping people in their careers was something that I really enjoyed and so when I decided to leave the corporate world altogether to start my business it's not as though all of a sudden overnight I had success with my business and then that solved all my issues of being unhappy in the corporate world I had to shift I had to change if anything by shifting into another role if I did not change myself if I did not show up differently if I did not gather the courage and the bravery to put myself out there in a new way into the world then I would not have been able to create a successful career for myself and so this relates to you if you are currently in a job where you're feeling as though you're meant for more there's something else that you're here to do or maybe that there's a higher level that you want to get to and you think as long as I get to that next level I'm gonna feel better about myself that's not what happens generally what happens is you might get to that next level but then you're gonna realize there's more challenges involved with that next level there's new things to learn there's new ways to communicate there's new ways that you have to show up in terms of your presence your confidence your ability to relate to others all of these things are going to be required of you if you're going to step up in your career and if you don't work on that now if you don't make those shifts within yourself now those things are going to be extra challenging for you when you're in a role that's going to require you to step it up in an instant and so it's not the role that's going to make you feel better it's you shifting in how you view yourself how you feel about yourself how you present yourself how you carry yourself how you communicate all of those things are actually going to be the things that make you feel differently and once you start to feel differently about how you show up you're going to show up differently others are then going to feel differently about you and that is when those promotion opportunities are going to be available to you so I'm hoping this makes sense for you ultimately the next job is not going to solve your problems you have to solve your own problems first where you're at right now and if you can show up differently feel differently about yourself in a more positive way see yourself in that next level role already even though you don't yet have the title that is ultimately what's going to then attract those opportunities to you and that is what I've discovered within myself if I did not show up differently for myself if I put myself on YouTube if I did not start sharing and teaching people in a way that I had never had to do before when I was in the corporate world if I was not willing to take those risks and to learn new things on how to run a business on how to get clients and how to teach people and inspire people and lead people if I didn't learn those things I would not be able to be doing the work that I'm doing now so ultimately it comes down to you and finally lesson 4 is very similar to this previous lesson I just shared which is your career growth is a mirror of your self-belief shift your mindset and opportunities follow I have helped thousands of professionals in the work that I do and I've gotten to a point now where I've seen patterns I've recognized patterns in being able to identify how someone is able to rise and grow in their career and also see the different levels of fulfillment and confidence that people have about themselves in their career and what I've learned and what I've seen is that ultimately it's not the job title it's not necessarily the work or the company or the environment although all those things do matter but what starts first to be able to get those things what matters most is what you say to yourself what you believe about yourself how you feel about yourself because that then determines how you show up how you articulate your value how you communicate with others how you interact with others that's what's going to make the difference in getting you those opportunities that you want it comes down to you it comes down to your self-belief it comes down to what you're saying to yourself and it comes down to knowing that you bring value that you are valuable and instead of waiting for other people to call on you you're actually naturally attracting that just from me for example in the last little while putting myself out here online again and sharing my message speaking and sharing about what I know to be true for myself and for others who resonate with being quiet achievers I've been able to attract opportunities and clients and clarity to myself that I did not have even six months ago a year ago it's by putting yourself out there but also by putting yourself out there because you are believing in yourself you know that you have worth you have something to share you have value to offer so when you can really hone in on that that is when you will be able to attract the opportunities and the career growth that you deserve so those are four lessons that I've learned in my career and how I have been able to grow and how I've seen other professionals other quiet achievers been able to grow so hopefully something within those lessons has resonated with you and will help you and as a reminder my book The Quiet Achiever is coming out in October 2025 if you want to pre-order and get access to the $1,000 worth of bonuses including my top-notch interview course that's helped thousands of people land job offers then put in the words quiet achiever down in the comments below and I will send you the link so that you can pre-order the book this is obviously just the manuscript as I've said many times before the hardcover is coming out in bookstores and will be available to you so feel free to put in the words quiet achiever down below and we'll

below I'd love to hear it see it read it and I will see you in the next video

You're likely settling if you're ongoingly unfulfilled, resentful, if you feel like you're compromising on your core values, if you are staying in a relationship mainly because you fear of being alone and you're being realistic if you're making some compromises on certain preferences if most of the time in the relationship you feel like your core needs are being met and you are generally happy and satisfied.
