Hey Reader, Feeling stuck and unfulfilled in your career? Here are 3 tips on how to find your next steps If you’re getting the Sunday scaries, explore your interests and start a side projectI enjoyed my chemical engineering coursework, but the job wasn’t for me.

So, I launched it in my 20s in the hopes that when my 30s hit, I would have some air under my wings. Now, things are picking up, and I’m making more than I did as a chemical engineer.

He started a record label in our freshman dorm in 2013, which he still operates. He got to go on tour and meet his favorite artists. He showed me that nothing is as far away as you think. You just have to get started. You don’t have to know everything. Just start! Action Step: Start! Doing will teach you more than anything else you do In a year, you'll thank yourself |
