You Don't Need the Whole Career Plan Yet | Ep 297 with Lynn Smargis

*"It's fine to stay where you're at now, but if you really don't feel aligned and there's something inside you that's like, I need to change, start figuring out what that change needs to be and start, like, making those little micro goals to get to where you wanna be."* This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from Lynn Smargis. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: - You'll hear how Lynn rebuilt her career more than once, including what she did when the pandemic wiped out 90% of her clients in just seven days and later when AI disrupted her business again. - If you're successful but no longer feel aligned with the work you're doing, you'll get a practical exercise to help you start figuring out what you want next—without having to leave your current career before you're ready. - You'll hear why self-belief, trusted people around you, and staying open to unexpected opportunities can make a difference when doubt creeps in and you start wondering whether you should go back to what feels safe.
