Bravery is often more important and more impactful to your career than hard work. Brave people do the following: 1. Apply for jobs they aren’t 100% qualified for 2. Interview with confidence, but not arrogance 3. Negotiate their job offers to get as much as they can 4. Are willing to relocate to better areas for better jobs 5. Are more likely to share their authentic and unique opinions, despite the risk of criticism 6. Are less likely to let a company pay them below what they’re worth 7. Will cut out negative people from their life despite the risk of loneliness. 8. Are more likely to start a side hustle despite the risk of it failing Bravery pays you back immensely. Remember to put yourself first. Remember that you’re awesome. And stare uncertainity right in the face and jump in!
