1 小时 1 分钟So I got a question for you.
What do you really want from your work?
Well, millions of people are asking that question right now, especially after the year that we have just had.
I mean, beyond a paycheck, beyond benefits, beyond some semblance or illusion of security, what do you actually want from the very thing that will consume the majority of your waking hours for the better part of the rest of your life?
And if you're pondering that question, if you're like the 20 million or so people who have quit their jobs in just the last five months in the US alone, if you're riding out your current gig, but maybe seriously questioning the bargain that you made when it comes to work and whether you want to continue it, whether you're just kind of really thinking about the question, what is this thing that I'm doing, this thing I call work, and what is it giving back to me?
Well, this episode is for you.
In fact, it may well open your eyes to what's really happening on a much deeper level and give you a whole new set of ideas and insights and tools to make better decisions, to finally look at this thing we call work and own the fact that for many, it has been anywhere from mildly to wildly broken for decades.
And we have this incredible opportunity, this incredible window right now to make different choices, to reimagine it going forward, and yes, also to sustain ourselves financially and maybe for the first time ever, understand how to turn work into a source not just of money and security, but also a powerful source of meaning and joy, purpose, energy, excitement, full on glorious expression, possibility.
So if that sounds like something you'd like to make happen, or at least learn a whole lot more about how to make it happen, even if it's not the right time for you.
And also understand that one of the single biggest career mistakes that millions may be making right now at this moment, or about to make if you're considering quitting or starting something new and understanding what that possible misstep is and learning how to avoid it, what I'm about to share in today's episode may well change not just how you navigate this moment, but also the millions of moments that unfold for the rest of your life.
And by the way, if your work is actually more of a primary role or devotion, even if it's not something you get paid to do, this is also for you.
So stay tuned.
