#36 Are You on a Road to Nowhere with Miné Esen

Be The Wolf

Most people want to be happy.

The problem is, they have no idea what will actually bring them happiness. They only know they don’t have it.

People think that “happy” is the solution to their sucky life. But it’s not. Knowing what you want, and taking the steps to get it is. People are most happy when they know EXACTLY what they want and are working towards it.

If you don’t know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere. –Henry Kissinger

Have you ever tried to order take-out when you had no idea what you wanted? You were probably hungry when you started looking at menus. But you couldn’t decide, so you looked at another menu, then another. Next thing you know an hour passed. You’re frustrated, and you still haven't ordered. Had you known what you wanted, you’d already have your food. You’d feel the pleasure of your success.

When it comes to making career moves, you have to know exactly what you want.

Otherwise, things go like this…

You’re miserable in your career, but don’t know what you want to do next.

You peruse Linkedin and job boards hoping something will stand out. But nothing does.

All you can see is how you’re not qualified, you don’t have the experience, or how the job could be terrible.

You know you need to get out of where you are, so you apply anyway. You send resumes, to any and all positions. You copy and paste versions of your best cover letters. And you cross your fingers hoping for the best.

Occasionally you get called for an interview. You do your best to present exactly who you think they need. Tracking everything they say, trying to figure out exactly what they want. Thinking to yourself, “Please hire me, I’ve got to get out of my stupid job.”

They ask if you have questions. You ask a simple one, so you seem interested. But you’re really afraid of asking the wrong thing and putting them off.

Eventually, someone hires you. And almost immediately, you realize it’s not the job for you. So the cycle starts all over again.

As a career empowerment coach, I've seen too many people struggle to try and figure out what they want in their careers. And that's why I love talking to people who've already done it on my podcast, Be the Wolf.

When you are 100% clear on what you want…when you know exactly where you’re going…it’s easy to make the RIGHT moves that get you there. In your career and out of it. 😉 You have the motivation to keep going–even when it’s hard. And that is exactly what Miné Esen did. She came to the US with 3 cents in her pocket, but she had a clear vision of what she wanted and where she was going.

Join us on Be the Wolf to hear how she overcame obstacle after obstacle to make her vision a reality.
