Always Bet On Yourself

Love Your Work Life with Elissa Shuck

In this episode, I discuss the importance of betting on yourself and taking control of your career. I share three tips for achieving this:

>> planning ahead

>> always being curious

>> being selfish

Planning ahead involves having your resume ready and tracking your accomplishments. Being curious means paying attention to your interests and leveraging your strengths. Being selfish means prioritizing yourself and looking for signs of what you want in your career. By following these tips, you can gain more control and confidence in your career.

Always bet on yourself. You are the only thing you can control.
