THEY should be doing more to help me succeed!

If you are waiting for someone else to step up and create success for you, you will be waiting a long time. This includes your friends, family and your employer. Sure, your employer should be doing everything within their power to help you succeed, but if they are not, then it is on you to create a change.

I was 26 years old working at a radio station and I believed that there skills I needed to be successful. I pitched the company on buying me the computer and the software and they said no.

I had $5k to my name and used every cent of that money to buy a new MacBook Pro and all of the software I needed to learn design and video skills. My coworkers told me I was crazy to spend my own money to help them.

Here’s the deal. I wasn’t helping them. I was helping me! I was using the platform that I had at work to showcase my skills and I was investing in myself to propel my career.

I share this because too many people want to lean on every reason why they are not succeeding, instead of finding a different way to win. If you are not feeling like you are getting better everyday then try something different.

Keep fighting for the win or get out of the game!
