Wish you a Happy Career Tuesday!
3 Career Ideas

"Audacity often looks foolish—until it works.
The biggest career breakthroughs come when you dare to step into arenas where you feel underqualified.
The secret? You grow into the audacity.”
II.
"Failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s part of the process.
If you’re not failing occasionally, you’re likely not pushing hard enough to grow."
III.
"If you’re feeling stuck, flip a coin.
Not because the coin decides, but because the moment it’s in the air, you’ll know what you truly hope for."
