Took me until 43 to work out what success actually looks like for me.
I built and sold my first business by 29. Did the whole traditional route. On paper it all made perfect sense.
That was sort of the problem…
It's taken me until my 40s to start questioning what success actually looks like for me.
Last week we launched Careering.
Lauren SpearmanLauren Spearman’s 20 years of career expertise and the 200+ conversations that shaped it, turned into a business that I'm v proud to be building with her.
One job: A careers platform helping people stop drifting through work and start designing careers around their own version of success.
Want to know if it’s for you? One test:
If your current job was posted online today, would you apply for it?
Not "could you do it". Would you choose it, cold, against everything else out there?
If the answer's no, that's drift. You're somewhere you'd never pick on purpose.
You don't have to blow anything up. You don't have to quit tomorrow.
Just start contemplating what could be possible….
