And it doesn't mean that you want to or have to get there, but just seeing what the possibilities for growth and also what will be the roadblocks to those growths. All the reason I'm saying this is so that you make your decision with your eyes wide open. And it's not necessarily knowing everything, but it's understanding options. Like if you're, let's say you wanted to make a company, right?
You wanted to start a company. A question that a lot of people will probably ask you, maybe not a lot, but I was certainly asked when I started. And by the way, this was like, I was brainstorming in my journal and people were going, do you I don't have an LLC. Like I literally have a journal with ideas and they're like, okay, but you should work backwards from knowing, do you want to get acquired?
And I think sometimes those questions are just too intimidating at the very beginning, but they are something to remember, which is what does a potential end game look like for all of this? And the only reason I ask you to think about this is so that as you are starting to make some moves down the path, You are not surprised and you know how to leverage it.
Meaning I understand that if I go down this path, I probably will only be able to make up to X amount. I don't want to become the top, top, top. That doesn't interest me. That person has no life, like what's required for it. The sacrifices required, not interesting or not aligned with my values. No worries. I am going to use this next two, three years of my life in this position to
to get another job, actually. And I may not know what that next job is, but I know that the skills I'm developing, the networks that I'm cultivating, they are valuable. I'm learning things. Doors are opening. I'm aware of trends. That's all. So again, it's not that you have to have the plan perfectly set out, but it's an awareness of
the important things to be considering because they all matter holistically. It's never just the paycheck, the reason you say yes to something or just the boss or just like it should all be considered through a lens of what are my goals and values? And if I can consider now all of these aspects of this next move, does that feel right to me?
Hopefully that didn't just throw a whole bunch of stuff at you that now you're like, oh God, I have to know all this stuff. It's just like, Again, information gathering. What are all the questions I can be asking, if not of one person, because that's too much? What are like the five, six, ten people that I can be learning from?
Again, whether you talk to them specifically or you're reading their posts on LinkedIn or listening on a podcast or reading a book. make your curriculum, make your curriculum to decide the MBA you want to get. And then once you start getting that MBA, again, it's like, do I want to transfer schools? Like, what do I want to learn now? Tell me thoughts, feelings.
I feel like we got to a pretty good place and I'm happy to answer anything else or clarify, or you feel like you're obstacles in any way that you're going to encounter. Like we can dig into that as we close up today.
And as you're gathering this information, because it may become overwhelming, you just continually come back to, well, what's most important to me? And not for life, because we don't know what's going to happen, right? So for this chapter of my life, the next three years, let's just say, maybe three to five, but three years, or even just this next year, what's most important to me?
And maybe it's money, right? And that's cool. It should be. It could be. But it doesn't have to be. So maybe what's next is more responsibilities or more responsibilities in a certain area or more learning. And maybe what we're doing is now asking your boss to pay for you to, I don't know, go to take a class of some kind or whatever.
It's just like a little building block towards something greater. And you don't necessarily have to know what the something greater is to start putting the pieces together. So, yeah, what's most important to me? And also, by the way, lifestyle, very, very important. In all of these conversations that you're having or research that you're doing, just what's going to be required of you?
I used the word sacrifice earlier, and I want to use it again. Every choice has a trade-off. It always does, right? You're doing this, that means you're not doing that, right? So just be clear that when you are receiving this information, Asking, yeah, why is this important? But like, what does this mean? What will this mean for me?
And what might this mean for me in a sacrifice, potential sacrifice, whether it's your time, energy, travel, you know, money or whatever, as long as you're not, you know, just don't sacrifice yourself. Okay. On that note. Thank you. Thank you, Jay, for being here. Super appreciate you. I hope this is helpful. I think it was not just to you, but to everybody watching and listening.
Very appreciate your honesty, your vulnerability and keep us posted. I think you got this. I know you got this.
Hi, I'm Claire Wasserman, the founder and author of Ladies Get Paid, a podcast newsletter and coaching practice dedicated to helping women embrace their worth inside and out. I'm honored to be guest hosting for Nicole while she's out on maternity leave. And you've probably noticed that there's a few of us, although just a heads up, I'm a little bit different.
Instead of interviewing my guests, I'm going to be coaching them. We have three women lined up, each one struggling in her relationship with work and money. You'll be calling in no camera on to protect their identity so that they can feel as comfortable as possible to share. Because I believe transparency can be transformative. When you see yourself in somebody else's journey, you realize.
You're not alone. And that can do so much in letting go of the shame that so many of us carry in regards to money. Today's guest is Danielle, who is really struggling to charge what she's worth. She has had a roller coaster of a relationship with money. Danielle has gone from making very little and being on food stamps to making over six figures, but being burnt out and getting burned.
And now she runs her own business, a creative agency, but is seriously struggling to ask for more because in her words, she feels like. It's taking away from the people she wants to help. In this episode, we tackle the mindsets needed to not see things so much in black and white. I really urge Danielle to be able to see that many things can be true at once. You can do good and do well.
You can play the game and play it in a way that honors your values. I'm so curious to hear what you think about my advice. So comment below and don't forget to like and subscribe. Take a listen. Danielle, thank you so much for joining me today.
