Remember when people used to ask you: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Well, maybe we should have thought a little harder before we answered.
I’m still meeting people who haven’t made any steps towards landing their dream job, or even worse they don’t know what their dream job is.
You don’t have to have it all together, you don’t have to have all the answers, but here’s why there’s no excuse not to be chasing your dreams.
1. Never read the comments.
You’ve just had your first piece published online by a major publication – massive congrats! The first thing you’ll probably do is send it to your mum, tweet it and then print it out and frame it.
But whatever you do – don’t read the comments. In my experience commenters can be mean, racist and sexist, and actually, I’ve just been published by a major news organisation so I don’t need to read your comment, I need to go and buy an ice cream.
Before you can stay in your lane, you have to know what and where it is right? Here’s how in seven easy steps…
1. Write a list of things you would and wouldn’t do
This can span personal and professional situations, for example on your list of things you would do could be; take a week off work for a yoga retreat, spend a month’s income on new web design or work overtime for no extra pay to get a project finished.
