Feel Lost In Your Career? Here’s What To Avoid

lost

“Invert, always invert.” That’s my go-to strategy for finding solutions to challenges in my life and career. It’s what I’ve done for years to not feel lost.

In fact, that’s how I got started with blogging. While most bloggers focused on the “habits of billionaires,” I focused on the habits of unsuccessful people.

It’s a common thinking error to assume one can replicate success. “Well, if I do the same things as Elon Musk, I’ll be successful too!” To some degree, I think many of us would want that to be true.

four career pillars

You probably spend at least 50% of your waking hours at work, going to work, or thinking about work. And to be honest, that percentage is quite modest. For most of us, our career consumes almost 80% of our time and energy. It’s on our minds all the time.

It’s not a surprise that 1 out of 2 people is unhappy with their careers. We trade our precious time for frustration and money.

Ever thought about that? Four years ago, I was also frustrated with my career. And because your job plays such an important role, my whole life felt like shit.

I’m not saying you should love your work at all times and that your career should be one big party. No, some days I also don’t like my current career. But I’m 100% comfortable with the way I spend my time.
