How To Invest in Your Career Growth

Welcome back to the She’s Wild Podcast! Today's episode is a rebroadcast of my interview on Dream Job with Danielle Cobo. In this show, Danielle and I talk all about what it’s like for me as a woman in a male-dominated industry, why it is critical to invest in yourself, how to know when it’s time to pivot in your career, knowing what and what not to share on social media, and much more. 

Memorable Moments: 

4:05   When I decided to switch to commercial brokerage, commercial real estate brokerage, I was going from a salaried position to straight commission. And I sat down and I did a financial plan on my own as part of my business plan. 

7:52   In my field, education has always been a predominant thing where I'll invest. You know, I have a master's degree from the University of Florida. Once I got into the land brokerage business, I invested in getting specific professional designations to help me qualify, for my customer that I know what the heck I'm talking about.

11:35    For me, it was about recognizing that when I'm not in the room, people have an impression of me. When I'm not in the room, they may say things that I can't control. But if I can be proactive and get ahead of what is it that they will say, when I'm not there, then that's a personal brand.

24:33    If there are awards in your local community or region or state, or industry that you have the ability to either self-apply for, or someone else a boss can make the application on your behalf. I would definitely say to do that. Because you never really know. And this may sound silly, you never know who you're going up against. We're all busy. We're all going 100 miles an hour. And sometimes you might only be up against two or three other people and that award could be so substantial.
