Be The Wolf

Did you try to make a career out of something you love only to hit obstacle after another and give up?

You’re not alone. So many people try to make a career out of what they love and fail.

They keep hitting obstacles. And over time, those obstacles cause even the strongest people to lose faith.

With each roadblock your parents' words ring in your ears…

“That’s a great hobby, but there’s no security in it.”

“Get your degree so you have something to fall back on.”

“You’ll never make money at that.”

And eventually…you decide it’s too hard.

So you give up your dreams to follow a “traditional” career path.

And you hate every second of it. Every day a little piece of you dies.

You wonder…

What if you had stuck it out? What if you hadn’t given up? What would your life be like now? Is it possible to do what you love and make a living?

But what if those obstacles were there to help you?

What if they were there to pivot you in the RIGHT direction. And what if they were there to help you overcome the REAL problems keeping you from getting what you want?

To make a career out of what you love, you’ll have to learn and grow from obstacles–not avoid them. You’ve got to overcome your fears of failure and people not liking you. You have to quit procrastinating, playing small, and beating yourself up. And stop comparing yourself to others! I promise you– it’s not impossible.

It takes flexibility, perseverance, faith, and trust in yourself to carve out a career you love. And it IS 100% possible. Just ask Shikha Kaiwar. A health condition made her chosen career physically impossible. Instead of giving up, she overcame every obstacle to carve out HER perfect career. Join us on Be the Wolf to find out how she did it.
