5 Years Ago I Had No Plan. Hereās What Happened Next.
This week I dropped the Career Battle Plan. Today I want to tell you why I actually created it. Five years ago, I was drifting. Not just in my career but also myself. I was in a role that played to none of my strengths, all of my weaknesses, and every day felt like a loop of: ā”ļø Wake up miserable ā”ļø Pray for the weekend ā”ļø Spend the weekend dreading Monday And then came the endless ābad luckā streak⦠You know the one. Where every little thing goes wrong and you start wondering if the universe has it out for you. The phrase āIf you donāt have a plan, someone else will plan for youā hit me hard. But hereās the truth⦠I had no idea what to actually DO with that. No clarity. No direction. Just survival. Eventually I hit rock bottom. And like most rock bottoms, there was a little lower to go before things turned around. Then one day, at my dining room table of all places, it clicked: My life couldnāt stay like this. Something had to change. And I was the only person who could change it. Month by month, things started shifting. Not perfectly. Not in a straight line. But enough that I could finally see progress⦠and possibility. The Career Battle Plan is the result of that five-year climb: š„ Growth š„ Learning š„ Redirection š„ Planning š„ And actually EXECUTING Itās the exact process that took me from lost and exhausted⦠to being a high performer for 8 of the last 10 years ā including the last 4. Hereās what Iāve learned: Career āplansā donāt survive reality. Managers change. Roles change. We change. But having a battle plan - A next step. A strategy. A way to identify whatās stopping you and take back power - THAT is what puts you in control of your career instead of drifting through it. Iād love to know what lands with you. Check out the Battle Plan inside the classroom and tell me your top action from it. š If youāve already started using it, what hit you the hardest so far?
