10 habits to start if you’re in your 20s and want a career you actually love
1. Follow your enthusiasm, not just the money
Don’t choose your whole career path based only on what pays the most on paper. You can make so much more money by building around what actually gives you energy.
2. Invest in your skills and personal development
If you don’t know what to invest in, invest in yourself. Spend your money on knowledge, books, courses and coaching.
3. Practice trusting your gut
You’ll always find your way to what you’re supposed to be doing if you stop ignoring the little nudges.
4. Pick goals that stretch your confidence, identity, and capacity.
The point is not just the goal itself. The point is who you become while pursuing it.
5. Get comfortable failing
Failures are part of the process. If you’re not failing at anything, you’re probably still inside your comfort zone.
6. Stop waiting for someone to make you successful
No one is coming to hand you the dream life. You have to decide it’s yours and start moving like it.
7. Treat everything as a rep
Every piece of content, every business move, every awkward attempt, every scary decision — it’s all a rep getting you closer to who you want to be.
8. Work on your internal world as much as your external goals
When you shift internally (your mindset, your beliefs, etc.) your external world naturally starts to shift too.
9. Practice business karma
Treat other businesses, bosses, clients, collaborators, and opportunities how you’d want to be treated.
10. Put your attention on what you want more of
What you focus on expands. Focus on the parts of your career you love. And if you can’t find any yet, start pretending. Be delusional.
Follow if you’re a girl on a mission.
