What Brings You Here?
If you’ve stumbled upon this Web site, you’re likely someone who’s exploring your career options. (Or maybe you’re just being a really good friend and have visited as a great supporter. That’s fine too.)
In a crippling economy maybe you feel forced to stay in a dead-end or less-than-satisfying job, and you feel stuck. You have no other place to go — other than therapy, prayer, or to pour your heart out to family and friends. And even then, it seems there’s no one who can really and truly relate to that “stuck” feeling you’ve now embraced.
Whether you’re tired of having others dictate your schedule. Exasperated with feeling burnt out and stressed at work. Or simply tired of being tired. It’s high time you stop watching others live out their life-long dreams as you stand along the sidelines. I know how you feel. I was once there and, to some extent, I still search for that special meaning in every career-related project I agree to do.
As a journalist, ghostwriter, copywriter, wife, stay-at-home mom and entrepreneur, I’m accustomed to wearing many hats and playing many roles. With greater responsibility comes less time to look after the person that matters the most — YOU!
So, the question therein lies: why do you continue to set your deepest, most nagging needs and desires aside to the detriment of your peace, health, and happiness? As why should you continue on as cheerleader to your closest family and friends, or even strangers?
We say to ourselves, “Sure they can do it. They’re (you fill in the blank: so skinny, so pretty, so smart, so different, so normal, etc).”
There are several reasons why we intentionally sabotage reaching our greatest potential. But there’s one that I’ve found most prevalent among the people I’ve spoken with over the years. It’s fear.
Fear paralyzes you from pursuing the things you are destined for. Fear is alluring at times, because it’s often disguised as comfort, safe, and familiarity.
However, if we allow it fear can drive us to reach higher. Go against the grain. Persevere. And give us the courage to live out our wildest dreams.
Let this site be your refuge. That’s what it’s here for! Find encouragement, share your thoughts, become a part of an online community that spurs others to stretch imaginary boundaries and become a Career Pioneer!
What in the world is a Career Pioneer?
A Career Pioneer is a foot soldier, one who prepares the way for themselves and for those that follow. They aren’t afraid to take risks, even if it means achieving less-than-ideal results. They are courageous during unconventional times. They reach the far-reaching goals because they match their level of motivation with preparation and dedication.
They are true to themselves even when times get tough. They are, in essence, trailblazers. Not because they’ve made great strides, but because they decided to take just one step forward. Are you a Career Pioneer?
