Your Career Isn’t Stuck—You Are

Are you “stuck” in your career? Or are you just waiting for someone else to make the decision for you?

Because here’s the truth: If you don’t take control of your career, someone else will.

And let me be clear—no one is coming to pull you out of this. No one is sitting in a boardroom right now plotting how to hand you a raise, a promotion, or a better job. You have to navigate your own growth.

The Myth of Stuckness

You’re not actually stuck. You’re just avoiding a decision.

When people tell me they’re feeling stuck, I ask them: “What’s the decision you’re avoiding?”

It’s almost always one of these:

• Should I leave this job?
• Should I ask for more money?
• Should I take on this big opportunity even though I’m scared?

And here’s what I know: The longer you wait, the harder it gets.

The “Readiness” Lie

Most people wait for a sign, clarity, or confidence before making a move. They think they need to “feel ready.”

That’s a lie. You will never feel ready.

• The best leaders weren’t “ready” for the big promotion—they just stepped into it.
• The best entrepreneurs weren’t “ready” to start a business—they just started.
• The most successful professionals weren’t “ready” for their next move—they just moved anyway.

The only way to get unstuck? Take action before you feel ready.

Your Next Step (Do This NOW)

1. Pick one thing you’ve been avoiding in your career.
2. Take a ‘small’ action in the next 24 hours. Not next week. Not next month. NOW.
3. Stop waiting. Start navigating.

Your future self is waiting on you to make the move. So, make it.
