BLT #4 | Building Your Path

Welcome to the latest issue of the BLT. This week we're diving into what it means to build your path. Check out the below and listen to our latest Podcast Episode, where Shelby and Dennis go in-depth on what we mean by building your path.

WE BELIEVE:

No one is going to build your career for you.

We believe that the only way to build the career you crave is by building your own path with three things in mind:

• Intentionality | You don’t need to know exactly where you’re going, but each step you take should be something that expands your perspective and experience. The more you see and do, the more clear you’ll get about what kind of career is right for you.
• Curiosity | There are no right or wrong answers in building a career. Stay open to all sorts of experiences and watch how much you’ll learn.
• No shame | We know building your own path can feel scary. It’s okay to let yourself be afraid, and use Career Sandwich to help move through those fears productively.
  

SOMETHING WE LOVE:

"When we are facing the unknown, the mind goes to work projecting it's already acquired fears into the unknown in order to try to predict what lies within that unknown. It then goes to work trying to figure out how to avoid those fears. It's those PROJECTIONS that we fear, not the unknown in and of itself." - Teal Swan

YOU SHOULD TRY THIS:

Write down 5 fears you have in building the career you crave.

Whether it’s money, fear of failure, uncertainty of what you want to do, or something else entirely. No matter the reasons you’re afraid, explicitly naming is a powerful first step that takes away some of their power.
