There’s a difference between having an idea and having a viable vision for your career.While I’ve always pursued work I’m passionate about, I also made sure I was paid fairly—whether through a research grant, having a role created for me, negotiating “non-negotiable” contract terms that set a new precedent, or a simple business structure that has sustained me from year 1.
I also insisted on having autonomy and respect to be able to do my best work.If you don’t know how to be remunerated appropriately for your work either in an organisation or business, you don’t have a dream; you have a recipe for burnout. Without having your needs met, you don’t have a career; you have a modern version of indentured servitude!
Of course, life happens and circumstances change which means things can fluctuate and you have to stay cool and evolve.
But if you want to create a liberated career and life that transcends exhausting societal norms, it’s time to deepen your skills of conscious influence and impact (or in business, ‘marketing and selling’).
It can look like when I post on LinkedIn, an ex-chief of NASA likes it, and someone messages to work with me. Why couldn’t it be as straightforward for you?
When you’re clear on who you are, what you stand for, and you know how to communicate it with integrity, great people want to work with you and fund your work. You don’t need to work harder but wiser.
Have a great week,
Amina
