The Boring Stuff That Leads to Big Breakthroughs in Your Wellness Career
In this Changemaker Challenge Career Clarity Session, Cate and Grace discuss the “boring stuff” that is essential to the evolution of your wellness career.
“The boring stuff” is not the same for everyone. Some wellness pros are super creative and dislike mundane tasks. Others are very organized and detailed oriented and love creating the infrastructure that is necessary for success. Setting up infrastructure isn’t always exciting, but it leads to exciting things. Likewise, creativity can be super exciting, but that doesn’t mean that what you produce is good. What makes it good is refinement, which can be really boring. The more we get involved with the boring stuff, the more fascinating it becomes and the more success it begets.
Sequencing (or krama) and efficiency are key to big career breakthroughs. Krama is divine order, the universal law of sequencing. Sequencing increases efficiency. Yoga Health Coaching teaches you the krama that has been tried, tested and proven to work. In Yoga Health Coaching, we show up with a beginners mind, with a willingness to be curious about our own krama and what is getting in the way of our success.
Schedule a conversation with Grace. Her job is to help you see what is getting in the way of getting what you really want.
What you’ll get out of tuning in:
- How the “boring stuff” leads to the fun stuff
- How to evolve your neurology by getting interested in the boring stuff
- How sequencing and efficiency are the keys to big career breakthroughs.
