Thoughts from my future book…. listening to your inner voice
When I first moved to Singapore, not knowing anyone there, to build a business, people often asked, “Why take that risk at your age?”
The questions and commentary grew louder as time went on—especially when it took me 18 months to send out my first invoice.
That period tested my patience and, more than anything, the belief in myself.
Now, when I work with someone who feels stuck in their job, I ask:
“If I had a magic wand and could grant you one wish—to do something you’d truly love—what would it be?”
I hear all sorts of answers. But when I ask, “What’s stopping you from giving it a try?” the reasons come quickly: current commitments, other people’s opinions, the fear of earning less… the list goes on.
Yet, as we talk it through, something often shifts. The dream starts to feel a little less distant—and a little more achievable.
It makes me wonder: how much do outside noise and our own doubts hold us back from doing what we really want?
Taking a chance isn’t always easy. But I’ve yet to meet someone who regretted giving their dream a genuine try, and that includes me.
If you’re feeling stuck in your career and wondering what else might be possible, let’s talk. Book a call with me, and we can explore what taking your next step could look like.
