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:
➡️ Wake up miserable
➡️ Pray for the weekend
➡️ Spend the weekend dreading Monday
And then came the endless “bad luck” 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 “If you don’t have a plan, someone else will plan for you” hit me hard.
But here’s 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 couldn’t 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:
🔥 Growth
🔥 Learning
🔥 Redirection
🔥 Planning
🔥 And actually EXECUTING
It’s the exact process that took me from lost and exhausted…
to being a high performer for 8 of the last 10 years — including the last 4.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
Career “plans” don’t survive reality.
Managers change. Roles change. We change.
But having a battle plan -
A next step.
A strategy.
A way to identify what’s stopping you and take back power -
THAT is what puts you in control of your career instead of drifting through it.
I’d love to know what lands with you.
