Hi, this is Alie the Lict and this is Leave Your Mark the podcast where I brew fresh

career advice with some of my most inspiring and successful friends.

It's professional advice that you can action immediately, whether you're just starting out

in your career or well on your way.

With a massive to-do list and a large cup of coffee, I promise that you can get it all done and still

have time to post about it.

This episode has a specific challenge for you. I want to know how big can you think.

This is the moment where you say to yourself, what is my North Star goal?

You think this, you write it down, you say to yourself, I'm not going to be embarrassed to talk

about this. I am going to admit that this is my actual goal. And I know that sounds weird because

sometimes we're very comfortable

talking about our goals and our career journeys, but there is a moment in time where the goal

gets so big that you're kind of like sheepish about it, right? It's almost like you don't really

deserve to have that level of aspiration. And while that's not true, of course you do. It's just how we make

ourselves feel. And I'm speaking personally as well. I have really big goals. And admittedly,

I'm not a great strategic planner. I've never been someone who had a three-year plan, a five-year plan.

If someone had asked me years ago what that was,

I would say to you, I don't know. I like to think of my goals in bite-sized chunks. What's my goal

for today? That's really as far as I get. We all need to be leaning into this practice of really

stretching ourselves because I do think the biggest kiss

of death in a career is coasting. So I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner,

but I really think that what I'm about to share with you is going to be a game changer for you.
