Women often look for signs before making a life-changing move in their businesses or careers. One of the signs that we look for is the permission or approval from the people around them. While there are many reasons for delaying that big leap, refusing to take action while waiting for the approval or permission of others has led several highly ambitious women to suffer significantly -- wasting their time and effort when they could have been spending it on something that would help them thrive in their career. Keep Reading >> Today, I am discussing how if you say you are ready for the next big leap in your career - then you are ready. I'll also share the phenomenon that many women succumb to by believing the lie that they are not ready yet as well as the four signs to look for to identify if you are set to make that much-awaited change in your professional life. "Don't wait for your suffering to become greater than your fear. Do it anyway. Feel the fear and do it anyway." Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: The problem that prevents you from taking things on Possible causes of the fear to accept new challenges The circumstances that push women to make an overdue change What the "loathing scale" is and how to use it to assess if it's time to make a change Signs That You Are Ready to Make the Leap: You are experiencing a level of frustration that just won't quit. You are five or above on the loathing scale, and you've been there too long. You are dreading work and have low energy when you're there. You feel smarter and more capable than the people around you.

We live in a world of increasing uncertainty. This uncertainty is primarily due to how quickly various situations and circumstances can frequently change.

By thinking and making decisions from a place of solid math rather than a place of high-drama. On today's episode, I discuss what it means to think in math instead of drama and how focusing on drama can negatively impact your ability to scale your business. I explain how identifying and reviewing your results and revenue can help you take strategic action when faced with uncertainty.

Many people do not realize just how powerful and valuable tracking their non-working hours can be. Keep Reading >> I recently experimented with tracking my time, both at work and at home.
