(And why that question feels so hard) We can all list what we don’t want…burnout, bad bosses, endless countdowns to Friday. But when it comes to answering “What do I want?” most people find it harder to answer than expected. In fact, over 85% of people admit they don’t know what they truly want in life or their career.In this episode, I share why focusing on what you don’t want keeps you stuck…and how shifting to what you do want points you toward a more fulfilling personal and professional life.Feeling stuck?Find yourself saying, “I don’t want this…” more than “I do want that…”?Tired of running on autopilot?Take a listen.
