Hi LinkedIn Family, Let me share a quote with you and some thoughts about it. Here are highlights a crucial philosophy for career growth: learning and earning are the two fundamental pillars that should guide our work decisions. Sometimes a job might be more about gaining experience, skills, and knowledge, while at other times, it may primarily be about financial stability. Ideally, you should find a role where you’re doing both—growing your expertise and getting paid fairly. However, if your position doesn’t offer either growth or compensation, the advice is clear: don’t waste your time, and move on to better opportunities. This mindset is especially valuable in today’s dynamic job market, where employees should not settle for stagnant environments. Instead, we should consistently evaluate if our roles are helping us grow or meet our financial needs. Also it is empowering—it pushes people to take control of their careers, ensuring they are always moving forward, either learning new skills or increasing their financial stability, and never remaining stuck in a place that offers neither. Thank you for your attention. #quoteoftheday #motivation

🌟 Have you ever considered a career review? Here's Why You Should! 🌟 At times, it's crucial to step back and assess your career path. As the world evolves, so do career choices. Ask yourself these questions: 1.What's the risk of not going self-employed? -Are you stuck in a comfort zone, missing out on opportunities? 2.How can you make yourself redundancy-proof? -Is job security a myth in today's fast-changing work environment? 3.Do you want more control over your life, earnings, and flexibility? -Self-employment could offer you the freedom to shape your career, but at what cost? 4.What are the benefits of self-employment? -The power to set your schedule, choose your projects, and have a direct impact on your income. 5.What are the downfalls of employment in comparison?

What I've learned from guiding professionals through their career journeys is: It's absolutely okay to not have it all figured out. We live in a society that pushes us to have our lives neatly planned out by a certain age—30, 40, or even earlier. Here are a few things I have learned along the way: 👉🏾 Pivoting doesn’t mean starting over from scratch. I get it—leaving your current path feels daunting, especially when you're worried about a pay cut. But here's the truth: You don’t have to take a step back if you know how to position yourself strategically. Crafting your personal brand and marketing yourself as the standout candidate you truly are can make all the difference. 👉🏾 You can earn more in a completely different industry. When I made my own pivot, I earned 40% more than the industry average. And it's not just me—my clients saw similar results, with salary increases after their pivots. The trend is real—switching industries doesn’t mean losing out financially, it could be the best financial move you make! 👉🏾 It’s scary, but it doesn’t have to be. I understand how overwhelming it feels to consider a career change—the uncertainty, the doubts, the analysis paralysis. But when you follow a proven roadmap, the process doesn’t have to be so terrifying. You can navigate it with confidence. 👉🏾 Ask for help sooner than you think. I used to believe that I just needed to be “more disciplined” or “figure it out on my own.” But what I learned is that seeking support isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a smart decision. It means you’re valuing your time, energy, and future by investing in a path that gets you where you want to go faster. Support doesn’t always mean a huge investment, but it can be a game-changer in your career. So if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just unsure about your next step, don’t be afraid to reach out. #CareerPivot #JobSearchJourney #GraduateLife #CareerChange #PersonalGrowth

💎 Building a successful career isn't just about climbing the ladder—it's about laying a solid foundation 💎 There's one habit billionaires swear by. It's common knowledge, yet shockingly rare in practice. Why?  👉 Because we're wired for instant gratification.  👉 We're caught up in the rat race, chasing what we lack, dazzled by distractions, and suffocated by societal pressures. But here's the harsh truth:  🔺 We are not enjoying what we have achieved 🔺 We're sacrificing our most valuable asset and falling into a trap with no way out. How much longer will we continue this cycle? 🔄 How much longer will we turn a blind eye? 👁️ The time for change is now. ⏲ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am the founder of Career Ownership Hub, follow Purav Bhatt 🌟 Are you willing to take Ownership of your Career: ✅ Download the Health Guide - Link in Comments ✅ Register for the Career Ownership Masterclass - Link in Comments ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #careerownershiphub

🔍 Are you feeling stuck in your current role, wondering if there's a better opportunity out there? You’re great at what you do, but maybe your current company isn’t giving you the growth, challenge, or recognition you deserve. If you’ve been thinking about what’s next, it’s time to explore new opportunities that align with your goals and ambitions. Imagine working in a role that not only utilizes your skills but also excites you. A company that values your contributions and provides a clear path for your future.

You're 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 about your job and career. Here's a truth bomb: you haven't made a single authentic career choice in your life! Okay, don't shoot the messenger… Just take a look… from the moment you chose your college major until now. Consider these three most common career drivers (and identify which one is yours): 𝟏) 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞'𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Maybe it's your parents, family, society... a network of conversations influencing you, not always directly. 2) 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬: Things just happened - a recruiter's call, an unexpected promotion, or getting laid off. 3) 𝐈𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚: You stay where you are because you can't see other possibilities or are afraid to make a real choice. So, what odds would you find your job and career amazing under these circumstances? 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲. The good news for seasoned executives and professionals: 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. These can lead to massive clarity and transformational decisions. Take my client Victoria, for instance, an international tax attorney who built a highly successful career on those drivers I mentioned. Yet, she was extremely unhappy. We explored various industries. She was particularly drawn to children's products. Looking at roles, a COO position or something operational seemed to align with her talents. She also toyed with the idea of starting her own business. The next thing I know, she's calling me excitedly. She decided to keep some of her tax clients but also took an operational role in an educational startup. And now, she's eager to see if entrepreneurship is the right path for her. She told me when she started working with me, she saw no possibilities. She couldn't believe she was taking such a bold step. Here’s the takeaway for you: 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐣𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲'𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲. -------------- If you’re curious about how this can happen for you, let's talk. #TheCareerLeapThrive #JobTransformation #CareerClarity
