Want to know how high achievers accidentally settle?
Meet Laura. She sprinted up the ladder in position and pay at the prompting of her employers. They paid her well, gave her flexibility and many other things we desire in a career. She performed well in her roles and checked all the boxes you’re “supposed to”.
Only one problem: She never paused long enough to be truly honest with herself about what she actually wanted out of life and her career.
But then, at the end of it all, she was bored and craved challenging work that didn’t just pay well but was also meaningful.
And she still stayed an additional two years before she did anything because, even though she was intelligent and talented and had proven over and again that she was extremely capable of anything her bosses put in front of her, she wasn’t sure where to begin when it came to figuring out what she wanted for herself.
The truth is that high achievers have additional career challenges on top of the ones that average employees face.
And why’s that?
Well, another reason is simply because we’re risk averse. We don’t want to waste time or energy when there’s a stable option already available to get us by.
But there is a way to decrease the risk. The trick is getting really clear on who you are and what you want, then vetting the industries and roles to make sure they fit you and your needs.
The best part is that you don’t even have to start over from scratch, and you can actually make a higher salary because of the skills and strengths you already have.
But it all begins with figuring out a career that genuinely fits you- it just doesn’t work the way you think it does.
