Have you been feeling that persistent tug, that quiet voice suggesting something needs to change in your career?
I've been there, and I want to share my story with you.
The Voice of Intuition I Kept Ignoring
For five years, I ignored my intuition telling me I needed support to navigate my career & goals. I approached three different coaches in that timespace but always pulled back at the last moment. The investment felt too steep, and I convinced myself that the next project or the next company would be the answer to my growing dissatisfaction.
Spoiler alert: It wasn't.
Instead of finding fulfillment, I pushed myself to the breaking point. Burnout hit me hard, forcing me to step away from my career for six months to recover. Those were challenging months filled with regret about not having acted sooner.
But Here Is Where My Story Turns Around
When I finally committed to investing in myself and started working with a coach, everything shifted.
My coach helped me see patterns I'd been blind to. She helped me become self-aware of the tasks and situations that were draining for me. With a fresh new perspective, my career took on new meaning.
The fog of confusion lifted, replaced by clarity and purpose.
The idea of pivoting my career no longer felt like I was starting over. I started exploring Freelance opportunities and idea of being a Small Business Owner.
Why the Investment in Coaching Pays Off
To those of you sitting on the fence about coaching, I understand your hesitation. The investment can feel daunting.
But ask yourself:
What's the cost of staying stuck?
Of potentially reaching burnout?
Of spending years in a career that doesn't light you up?
Working with a coach is more than just career guidance—it's an investment in your whole self. You have to be willing to get uncomfortable, answer the bigger, more meaningful questions, and trust the process.
The returns extend far beyond your professional life. The clarity, confidence, and strategies you gain become invaluable tools for your personal life.
For entrepreneurs who haven't yet engaged with a mentor or coach, here's another reason to consider it. As an Online Business Manager, I've worked with more than a dozen entrepreneurs, and those who have invested in mentorships or business or life coaching tend not to be stuck in decision paralysis or fear of the unknown for long. They take swift action, think strategically, and effectively delegate tasks..
Don't wait until you're forced to take a break like I did. Your future self will thank you for taking this step now. Your career matters. You matter. And sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is ask for support.
