Are you an ambitious woman? Here’s 3 reasons why you should totally for go for it!<\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Throughout my professional career I have always strived to be the best I could. I would go for promotions if they were available and exceed the responsibilities of my role to show that I was able to do more. Putting my hand up to help other departments, even when it meant that I wasn\u2019t compensated, was natural for me. I was never bound by title or salary bracket. I always did what needed to be done.<\/p>\n

After surviving brain trauma, and ultimately facing death, I realised that even though I was this \u201cgo-getter\u201d in my professional life, many people weren\u2019t naturally like this. I accept that some people just enjoy being comfortable with a job that simply pays the bills – and that\u2019s OK. But I realised that I am not happy to stay within the lines; I am an ambitious woman!<\/p>\n

Over the past few years I\u2019ve had many people express their shock at how quickly I\u2019ve climbed the ladder \/ progressed in my career. There was even one point in my life where I quit my job as I wasn\u2019t happy – WITHOUT another job to go to #SHOCKHORROR. Before you say it\u2026 I had a mortgage and a child, so I wasn\u2019t without financial responsibility.<\/p>\n

But what I knew for sure was that my happiness is worth more than my salary. This is why I chose to leave a role knowing that I still had bills to pay. So, what happened? I secured another role in just seven days after I resigned. Amazing how the world just works out.<\/p>\n

If you are in a position where you\u2019re unhappy with your full time role, you feel like you need more out of life or just want to change it up and try something new – then this is for you. Three reasons why you should totally go for it!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

#1 There\u2019s no time like the present<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I learnt this the hard way. While recovering from brain injury I was unable to work and ultimately lost my job due to ill-health. What this made me realise is that life is so short and that things shouldn\u2019t be taken for granted. This attitude shaped how I see my career path now. I know that everything can change in a heartbeat, so I look at opportunities and embrace them then and there.<\/p>\n

#2 You have nothing to lose<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Have you been thinking about going for a promotion, or changing roles\u2026 but are too scared? Perhaps you\u2019re worried you won\u2019t get it?<\/p>\n

The fact is whether you go for it or not, you won\u2019t be in a worse position than you are now. If you go for a promotion and don\u2019t succeed, well that just means you\u2019re in the same role and there is work to be done to go for the next promotion. If you apply for a new role and don\u2019t get a call back, that just means that one wasn\u2019t the role for you! There is nothing to lose, perhaps a little pride – but that\u2019s ok, it\u2019ll help you grow.<\/p>\n

#3 Success happens outside of your comfort zone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you have a goal that you haven\u2019t reached, perhaps it\u2019s outside of your comfort zone. Success isn\u2019t something that is dropped on your lap, most people have to work hard for it. Your comfort zone is likely a comfortable job that you\u2019ve had for a while, but your goal might be a promotion or even starting your own side hustle. Whatever it may be, you will need to get uncomfortable with yourself to get closer to what success looks like for you.<\/p>\n

A lot of people are so scared of failing that they just don\u2019t go for that promotion or start that side hustle which they\u2019ve been dreaming about. There is no glory in dreaming about goals, the real magic is when you start living them.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Try to look at failure as a lesson to be learned. Anything that goes wrong or doesn\u2019t go to plan can show you what needed to be changed, worked on or added\/removed. Failure isn\u2019t the end it\u2019s simply another step closer to the goal.<\/p>\n
