Brad Kearns: 3 Tips For Young Career Aspirants (Be Like A Machine!)

If you want some career advice, this is the episode for you! While the topic of this show will be particularly relevant for younger listeners, listeners of all ages can relate to struggling with maintaining a positive attitude and hopeful prospects about the future. This episode was inspired by a young friend of mine who has just finished schooling and is looking to embark on a career, but feeling stressed about the opportunities, challenges, financial stresses-loans—the usual suspects. A relatable issue for most people, and more than ever these days as the younger generation faces much difficulty with landing jobs and other challenging external issues (such as the rising cost of living in urban areas and housing prices). It can be immensely challenging to find time to even enjoy your free time when you have a life burden like this hanging over your head, and when is it going to change? Not likely anytime soon, so in this episode, I offer three pieces of advice I shared with my friend for acting most effectively during challenging times and for accomplishing your career goals. You will learn how to “be like a machine,” what it means to pursue your inspired purpose, the one question to ask yourself any time you experience anxiety, stress, or fear, my thoughts on asking others for help, and more advice to help you navigate your pursuit of your goals.   TIMESTAMPS: It is difficult these days for young people to find their way in a career path. [00:49] It is hard to maintain a positive attitude and focus at this time in your young life. You have to be like a machine. [02:50] Learn to deal with setbacks and misfortunes that will come your way and keep going. Pursue your inspired purpose. [10:16] Look at your progress as stepping stones. [15:22] Sometimes your inspired purpose does not bring financial success. [20:58] Ask yourself what should I be doing right now?  When you experience fear and anxiety, redirect your focus to your values. [28:05] If you tend to carry around your worries, fears and anxieties, instead of enjoying your life, realize that this is a game you play with yourself so you can save face. [32:42] Reach out for help in a polite and considerate way and make sure you have something to offer.
