You know the ones, maybe a huge project you were going to lead was taken away, or you get three rejections in a row, or perhaps you feel like you haven't had any time to spend with your kids because you've been working all the time.
What happens on those days?
Truth be told, what happens after those bad days is the most critical in our lives. What you do next, and where you go from there is what matters the most.
I'll be honest, having a career and a family is hard. Running a business is hard. Running a successful business is even more challenging. Sometimes we look out on social media, and we think, 'wow, she makes that look so easy.'
It's not.
And the hard days can make you feel like you are heading in the wrong direction.
So how do you tune out all the noise and return your focus to what's important, the non-negotiables, as I like to call them?
We're cutting through the fluff on this coffee chat episode of Career Confessions and getting real. I'm sharing my aftermath story and the restructuring I had to do in order to be the person I wanted to be for my family while growing a second business.
Listen in as I share my top strategies for getting clear with your plan, so you can focus on YOUR non-negotiables and set goals for the long-term.
