Most professionals are never taught how to choose a career that leads to lasting professional growth and meaningful personal development. This episode reveals powerful insights from career coaching that will help you rethink everything you’ve been told about success.

Forget the tired advice about following your passion or creating a rigid five-year plan. If you're feeling stuck or unfulfilled, it's not because you're doing it wrong—it's because the rules you're following are outdated.

🔑 In This Episode:

• The toxic myths of modern career advice—and why they persist
• The truth about linear career paths (hint: they don’t exist)
• What to do before you leave a job that isn’t working
• How to experiment and grow inside your current role
• A simple 3-step paradigm to clarify what you really want
• The “Rearview Mirror Test” to make bold decisions with confidence

This isn’t about taking a leap without a plan. It’s about taking smart risks, learning what energizes you, and designing a career you don’t want to escape from.

🎧 Listen now and start building the kind of success you’ll be proud of at 90.
