Tired of watching less qualified people get promoted while you stay stuck? I'm sharing the brutal truth about why you don't have what you want at work鈥攁nd it's not what you think.

Most professionals blame their company, toxic workplace dynamics, or bad managers. But after 12 years at Amazon and coaching hundreds of burned-out executives, I've discovered there are only two reasons you don't have what you want. And yes, I said only two.

Here's what's keeping you stuck: You're not being specific about what you want, and you're not doing the heavy lifting to get it. Sound too simple? That's exactly the problem.

I break down why workplace anxiety and impostor syndrome make us avoid taking massive action, plus give you the exact framework to stop waiting for permission and start creating your own opportunities.

Key Takeaways:

聽聽聽聽聽聽 Get laser-specific about your next career move (salary amount, title, responsibilities)

聽聽聽聽聽聽 Stop expecting your manager to do the heavy lifting for your career advancement

聽聽聽聽聽聽 Create concrete proposals instead of vague requests

聽聽聽聽聽聽 Take massive action even when fear and anxiety tell you not to

聽聽聽聽聽聽 Remember: The best problems are "you problems" because you can control them

"Every week you wait is another week watching less qualified people get promoted while you stay exhausted and undervalued."
