Description
Sometimes we can get overwhelmed trying to make our careers into what we want them to be over night.
Breathe and remember that your career is a marathon, a journey, and that takes time!
This week’s episode was recorded during a long car ride, that helped inspire this episode’s message.
During this episode, Sarah recounts her experiences with marathon running, injuries, and the struggles of accomplishing long term goals. She explains how community helps you get where you need to be without the stresses that come with doing it alone.
00:47 If you can't tell, I am not in my regular home studio. I am actually driving in my car across Nevada
02:06 I wanna tell you the story of training and running my first marathon because your career, it's very similar to running a marathon
04:25 I was at the doctor's one day, just like a normal doctor's visit, but I'd always had this weird little bump kind of on my hip.
08:45 I was super proud of my 4 hour and 13 minute debut into marathons, I also thought, man, I think I can do better.
10:18 Between the New York City Marathon and that Toronto Marathon. The difference was for that Toronto Marathon, I followed the pacer and I kept them in my sight for most of the time.
12:05 Having these goals for me in my case running, help me really develop a lot of resilience, a lot of confidence, and have a support system. So that I don't fall into the trap of trying to do it on my own.
14:05 When you try and do things on your own, that's when negativity can creep in.
17:56 If you're struggling in your career right now, I would ask yourself, have I identified the big goal? And is it specific enough?
18:55 Are you trying to be your own coach or could you maybe benefit from a coach?? Interested in learning more about Career Strategy Lab? Click here to apply!
