It requires the courage to stand up for what you want, and the courage to take action and do something about it. So before you take any action towards your ideal career, ask yourself, “How can I tap into my courage on a regular basis?” This recent client success story, reminded of a quote that I love, "Your passion is waiting for your courage to catch up".
