The #1 risk that comes with career success:

Trading your life for a paycheck.

Because work can become addictive:

❌ The need to excel
❌ The fear of making mistakes
❌ The adrenaline rush of ‘achieving’
❌ The distraction from other issues

Leaving you feeling empty.

And alone.

5 steps to re-evaluate your career choices:

1. Use self-reflection to assess your situation
↳ What energizes you at work?
↳ What are your non-negotiables in life?

2. Always seek alignment
↳ Find work that aligns with your values and interests
↳ Make ‘work-life balance’ a value you stand for

3. Proactively protect your energy
↳ Set expectations that you have a life after work
↳ Block time for you, no one else will

4. Be the CEO of your life
↳ Lead your life with intention
↳ Delegate and outsource what drains you

5. Imagine looking back at your life when you’re 80
↳ What memories would you like to have?
↳ Who has ridden beside you?

Remember:

One-third of your life is spent at work.

Don’t let your job rob you of the other two thirds.
