Key Career Insights

* Speaking to people doing things you’re doing is an effective way to make a major transition rather than trying to do it all on your own.
* Taking small actions can give you much more clarity than analysis alone. You have to act in order for the path to emerge.
* You have to define your own measures of success so you can feel good about your own choices and live a life that makes you happy.

Listener Challenge
During this episode's Mental Fuel® segment, I challenged you to identify the top pillars you’ve been dedicating your energies to in your life and career recently. Name them. Then, look honestly at what you’ve been prioritizing and consider whether you’ve been investing your energies into the right pillars that bring you joy. Avoid fixating on achieving the standard, societal definition of success. Dedicate your energy and resources to what makes you happy, not what you feel should make you happy.
