Sometimes we have to step back and look at our lives from a 10,000 ft. view to see how everything fits together.


“We live life looking forward, but we understand it looking backwards.”

This is a quote I’ve always remembered. Things don’t always quite make sense until we go through them and look back.

The key to a successful life is to appreciate all of its parts - the good, the bad, and the mundane.

Life moves fast! When we’re busy, it feels like we’re sprinting to get everything done.


Multi-tasking is a skill many of us have developed.

We’re busy people with busy lives, and we’ve gotten great at getting ALL the things done.

We should value our mental health above everything. Finding a career we love is step number one.


Last week was Mental Health Awareness Day where we bring awareness and attention to the issue.

Statistics show that 60% of people say their work environment and career affects their mental health over everything else.

When we work in a career and environment we love, we’re able to truly grow and thrive.

Here’s are 5 steps to pivot into a career we love:

✅ 1 // Clarify our values. We first need to decide what’s most important in our career, whether it’s money, remote environment, or overall fulfillment.

✅ 2 // Take inventory of our skills. Next, we can make a list of our best skills. Write this list and mark them in importance from 1 to 10, with 10 being most valuable skill.

✅ 3 // Use ChatGPT. Then, head to AI and give it a list of your top skills. Ask it to give you ideas of what would be the best careers that would utilize those skills.

✅ 4// Leverage LinkedIn. Once we’ve discovered our dream careers, start researching on LinkedIn to find companies that match these job titles.

✅ 5 // Network. Spend the next 3 to 6 months networking with people at those companies and in our dream field or work environment.

It’s true that networking is the best way to transition into a new career.

Remember, you’re looking for a work environment where you can thrive. Let’s invest the time necessary to grow our career in the right direction.

How to find a remote dream job that aligns with your values & vision 👇🏼


Everyone’s talking about culture:
// positive culture
// negative culture
// “quit quitting” culture

Culture matters. Some work environments get it and some don’t.

If you’ve ever worked in a toxic work environment, you know how draining it can be.

You deserve better.

Here’s 4 steps to move toward your dream remote job this year:

✅ 1 // Build your network. Most jobs in the “hidden job market” are filled through networking and referrals.

✅ 2 // Optimize your resume now. Never wait until you’re ready to job search to update your resume. Keep it updated.

✅ 3 // Leverage LinkedIn like your career depends on it. Because it does. Start building new connections everyday.

✅ 4 // Step outside your comfort zone. You might not want to hear it, but your dream job is likely somewhere outside your comfort zone.

Life’s too short to not love the work you do.

If you’ve found yourself in a work environment that no longer serves your purpose, it’s time to make a change.

Question - Which is more important: a job’s salary or the work environment? Wes

When we recognize others’ achievements and value, we’re creating a positive and thriving culture.


“Be an encourager; the world has enough critics already.” (Unknown)

Encouraging others is one of the best ways to create a positive culture in our work.

When we feel like our work is valued, it motivates us to continue performing at our best.

Recognizing others:

-Motivates success
-Drives more excellence
-Supports peak performance
-Encourages accomplishments
-Builds a safe environment to share

Supporting people, rather than dragging them down, is a sign of true leadership.

We can support people in their work, in their business, or in their creative pursuits.

One of the most selfless things we can do is lift someone else up above our own interests.

What do we think? Agree? 🤔

Here’s to us thriving together, Wes ✌🏻
