Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Parents:
If you can't stay put at one job, you'll never earn enough of a reputation to make it.
How I responded:
If you aren't happy with your current position and can financially manage a change, take the leap! Once I found a position that fit for me, I was able to be promoted twice in less than a year, and I was able to network to be scouted to the position that I wanted! Finding a job that I was good at and loved to do paved the way for my dream job, and in little-to-no time. Find what works for you and go after it!
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I still struggle with my financial goals, and it's hard to work through. This week, for example, my husband's truck was totaled - because we were working to one financial goal, we can't afford a car for him. It's always a process and that's okay!
