057: Own Your Career

What happens during your career journey mostly rests upon decisions you make along with your risk comfort level. Are you planning out your career moves or are you waiting on someone else to give you an opportunity? No one is going to seek you out to hand you what you need to achieve your goals and advance your career.

Episode outline:

1. You are the only person who will care about your career,
2. Seek out opportunities to stand out,
3. Embrace taking risk,
4. Adopt a growth mindset, and
5. Have a written plan.
