9 Questions To Ask Your Network To Help You Find Your Path

Three Takeaways:

  • Learn when to say no.
    Despite all the popular quotes about quitting, sometimes it s OK to stop doing something that doesn t serve you well. Darrah encourages us to see quitting a different way: Not as a cul-de-sac at the end of our journey, but a pivot a change of direction on your life s roadmap.

  • Be loose with your plan.
    Sometimes, we get so attached to the business plans and strategies that we miss out on the opportunities that await us now. Be flexible and be willing to change if necessary.

  • Question everything.
    Ask yourself what would serve you right now. If you re doing something that doesn t serve you, you re not only doing a disservice to yourself, but to everyone around you. Don t be afraid to change your course.
