Description
Do you feel like you’re stuck in your career? Maybe you’re bored, or you feel like your skills have plateaued or heck, even your salary has plateaued. Do you see current and former colleagues getting promoted or doing work that you wish you were doing?
If so, these might be signs that you’re stuck in your career. So, the big question is, how do you get unstuck?
In this episode, Sarah gives you 3 questions to ponder to help you get unstuck in your career. And sidenote, these questions can really apply to ANY situation – both work and personal.

00:55 Introduction
02:39 We're gonna look towards the future to help you create an action plan for how you can get unstuck
03:25 So here are the three questions you can ask yourself to get unstuck in your career
03:54 First Question “Where am I now?”
05:06 How am I feeling? Are you excited every day? Do you dread every day? Do you live for the weekends?
06:00 Second Question “Where do I want to be?”
08:08 Third Question “What is stopping me?”
09:42 Now, this is where the magic kind of happens. After you've made this list of the things that are stopping you, I want you to read back through it and ask yourself, which of these things are truly within your control and which are not within your control?
11:01 “What's stopping me” list in the middle, get shorter and focus on things that you can control and influence.
12:13 And it's important to remember you can't do everything at once. You can't build every skill at once. You can't learn every software at once or get every degree at once.
