How to Get What You Want

Don’t Wait for Permission to Go After What You Want

Episode 130

Are you waiting for someone to recognize your value or hand you an opportunity? Your career isn’t a waiting game—it’s a negotiation. Success doesn’t happen by staying quiet and hoping to get noticed. It happens when you make moves, advocate for yourself, and take action before you feel 100% ready.

In this episode, I’ll share how to adopt a negotiator’s mindset so you can stop waiting for permission and start positioning yourself for the opportunities you want. You’ll learn how to reframe self-advocacy, understand why others are getting ahead, and make strategic moves to advance your career—without waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  1. Why working hard isn’t enough—and what actually gets you noticed.
  2. How to ask for opportunities before you feel completely ready.
  3. The importance of building influence and positioning yourself for success.
