Don’t miss your chance to start redesigning your career, income, and life now! 🔗 https://bit.ly/anifilipovacommunity-------------------------------------------In this episode of Change is Possible, I’m flipping the script on everything you thought you knew about “building a career.” What if the timelines, rules, and definitions of success you’ve been sold are actually holding you back? I’m Ani Filipova - after 25 years climbing to Chief Operating Officer at one of the world’s largest banks and another three years forging my own portfolio career, I’ve been promoted, praised, underestimated, celebrated, and completely reinvented myself. Along the way I learned lessons the hard way - so you don’t have to.Today, I’m sharing the 15 unfiltered career truths I wish someone had told me decades ago. These aren’t feel-good platitudes or fluffy pep talks - they are hard-won insights that will help you.🔑Key Takeaways👉 Write Your Own Script - Block out society’s “by-age” deadlines and define success on your own terms—your career is your personal marathon, not someone else’s race.👉 Success without Joy Is Just Failure in Disguise - Titles and paychecks mean little if you’re sacrificing health, relationships, or daily fulfillment—true success balances achievement with well-being.👉 Clarity Beats Confidence - You don’t need to “feel ready” to make a move; get crystal clear on what you want, then act. Confidence grows out of taking deliberate steps, not waiting for certainty.👉 Sideways Moves Can Propel You Upward - Strategic lateral shifts build new skills, broaden your perspective, and often set you up for bigger leaps—sometimes the quickest route up is sideways first.👉 Health Is Real Wealth - No promotion is worth a burnout or chronic injury—invest in sleep, exercise, and mental well-being now, because your body and mind are your longest-term assets.⌛ Episode Highlights and Timestamps:[00:00:00] - Introduction[00:01:04] - Truth #1: Society Doesn’t Get to Script Your Career[00:03:02] - Truth #2: Success That Costs Your Joy Is Just Failure in a Nicer Outfit[00:04:26] - Truth #3: Chase a Lifestyle, Not a Title[00:05:33] - Truth #4: Clarity Is More Powerful Than Confidence[00:07:24] - Truth #5: You Don’t Need to Stay in One Lane to Be Successful[00:09:05] - Truth #6: It’s Never Too Late to Change—Especially Now[00:10:41] - Truth #7: There’s No Single Peak - It Is a Myth[00:12:33] - Truth #8: Sideways Moves Often Take You Higher[00:13:53] - Truth #9: Risk Is Fuel.
