This is Episode 12. And today, I am telling you not to quit your job just yet. So yes, I will be trying to tell you not to quit your job just yet until you've listened to this episode. So I'm all for career growth and development. It's super important. But it's also super important to do it the right way, quote, unquote, I see a lot of people that quit their job because they are just done. They're tired of feeling tired, they're burnt out. And the thought about going in another day literally makes them want to cry, maybe they are crying to work, maybe you are grind to work, and you're just done. And I really just want you to listen to this episode, because it can help you not be in the same place again, here are some questions to ask yourself. So grab your journal, and let's get started. So before you quit your job, ask yourself what is currently frustrating you? Is it that you're not being paid enough? You're not valued at your work? Is that your work hours? Is it your boss? And then after you write down what comes to mind, ask yourself, what specifically about those things frustrate you? So for example, if you right, your boss, right, what specifically about your boss you don't like? Is it their tone when they talk to you? Is it because they micromanage you? Is it because they aren't very supportive of you and your goals, the more detail that you write down the better idea you'll have of what it is that you want. Now, what's important to realize is that these frustrations that you're having, are there to help you. They're there to help us to guide us to push us forward, frustrations are there to push you to motivate you to do something. Because if you weren't frustrated, then you wouldn't take any action knew would continue to be there. And that's not a bad thing. But just know that least frustrations come up because now you have a problem you need to solve. And while quitting might feel like an easy solution to the problem, what happened is the job ended up in a similar situation, and become frustrated. And kind of continue this cycle of job hopping or finding yourselves in the wrong workplace. So if you take the time to reflect on these frustrations, I can help you decide what you really want for your career. So now that you have your list and you're looking at it, ask yourself what is it that I really want right now for my career? Do I want more money? Do I want better communication at work? shorter days, a flexible schedule, more opportunities for career growth, more transparency, it might just be as simple as that. You might want your boss to just tell you what is going on behind the scenes. All right, and the next one is a little tough, but really be honest. Ask yourself, what am I currently doing at work to get what I want? Are you voicing your concerns constructively? are you complaining and gossiping? Or just staying quiet and allowing the frustrations to pile on remember you are in control of what goes on and what happens to you. Now I want you to ask yourself How is that working for you? Whatever it is that you're doing or not doing about your frustrations. I'm gonna guess that it's probably not working at all. And that's why you want to quit your job like yesterday, but what's gonna happen at your next job? How many times as this happened before, stop the cycle of quitting your job and running to the next one. I want you to be moving forward towards your goals not running away from problems. So if you're unhappy with your current job, the solution is not to run away from it. The solution is figuring out what is frustrating you so that you can find what you really like. So you can stop being in this situation. The only way to do this is by really reflecting on what's frustrating you and what you really want. Now that you've answered those questions of what's currently frustrating you what is it that you want? What are you currently doing next is to start making a plan on what to do next. Make a list of what you want for your next job. If you still really want to quit, you may even just make a list of how you would like your current job to improve and take that to your employer. Before you roll your eyes, give it a try. What do you have to lose? This way you won't wonder if it was the right decision for you. Or that you acted impulsively you'll know that you made the right decision for yourself. Alright guys, that is it for today. Have a great rest of your week. Thanks.
