"What You Shouldn't Focus on in Your Career"
Do you feel stuck every time you want to make a move in your career? Putting your focus and efforts on the wrong things might be the reason you are not making smart moves. Operating in a survival job for so long can be discouraging and make it hard to go for what you want.

Staying within your safe lines will always make you stuck and unable to keep up with the job market. You have the ability to create the career you want, especially in the time that we’re in now. Take control.  
Join the conversation with your host, Alicia Perkins, as she shares how you can change your perspective and focus on things that are in alignment with your values to attract opportunities that can allow you to create the life you want. Focusing your energy and efforts on the right things will get the success that our soul desires.
