    How to Build a Dream Career with Dia Darling

    We throw around this term "dream career," but you might be wondering "What’s possible?" Is a dream career attainable or is it a pipe dream?  I know I’ve wondered what’s possible- especially once you find yourself on a certain path for a certain amount of time. Do you need to stay on that path or can you pivot into something that will bring you more joy  - is there anything out there that might bring you more joy you’re not paying attention to right now? It’s hard to know when you’re on the right path. But in truth is there is no right path. You will never be 100 percent sure the path you’re on is the right path. And that’s ok. That’s why we’re here to ask questions. What we pay attention to matters and so does asking the right questions. Which is what today is about. My guest has some action-orientated ideas to help you start making goals and taking incremental action so you can start heading in the direction of a career of your dreams. Dia Darling is the podcast creator and host of Creatives Crushing Anxiety. She is also a project manager and coach helps entrepreneurs, authors, coaches, and speakers launch their businesses, books, and events. Today’s episode she will help us launch our dream careers. We talk about how to how to identify a direction to move in, how to get started on the path toward your dream career, how to take action, how to have open conversations to hack your current job, and how to meet others to help you on your path to a dream career.  KICK ASS IN LIFE FB: https://www.facebook.com/kickassinyourlife KICK ASS IN LIFE INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/kickassin.life SHOW NOTES:   http://kickassin.life/show-notes/diadarling/  NEW EBOOK KICK ASS WITH YOUR MONEY: https://amzn.to/2pcoBYJ Send me a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kick-ass-in-life/message Email me: kickassinyourlife@gmail.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kick-ass-in-life/support

  2. The Fun in Frugality

    The Fun in Frugality

    Being frugal gets a bad reputation. Being called thrifty or economical or, God forbid, cheap is just such an insult. It makes everyone think of their super miserly friend who won’t pay his share, is stingy with tips, and who is always mooching off of other people. Why did that one person have to give frugality such a bad reputation? Frugality can actually be kind of fun.  Today we’re talking about how to be frugal -- and why it’s important. How to save money by simple tricks and hacks and swaps to utilizing deal and discount sites. If you do everything on the list, it will be impossible not to start saving toward your goals. I created this episode before the Covid 19 outbreak but it's important to find ways to be frugal more than ever - especially when the economy is in such a tailspin and jobs are uncertain.  I’m the deal person in my friend group. I’m the person with the Google doc of all the happy hours in the city and will happily share it around. I know of the free, cheap, and fun activities and will always invite my friends along. I don’t have to be frugal, but I choose to be to help my future me. If you become the deal person in your friend group, they’ll thank you. They secretly would love to have their money go a bit further. Reclaim frugality. There’s nothing wrong with being frugal. You are not fearful of spending money–you are just being smart about how you spend it. Here are some easy ways to save money. Take what you like and leave the rest. Even finding one or two ways to save will help you in the long run.

  3. How to Pay Off Loans and How to Use Credit Cards

    How to Pay Off Loans and How to Use Credit Cards

    Are you saddled with student loans? It's an awful feeling. It could feel like you’re in a deep hole and that doesn’t have the tools to get out. The path to paying it off may seem endless. Today's episode aims to help you start feeling in control of your student loans.   We also talk about credit cards, which can be useful, but they can also be super sketchy. They’re a powerful tool when used correctly, making commerce more convenient and easy, but they also offer a lot of temptation to spend more than you have. If you are debt-free, credit cards might be a good tool to track your expenses, build your credit score, and offer a layer of security so you don’t have to carry around cash everywhere. If you treat credit cards like the tool they are and pay them off every month, you’ll be one step closer to building a credit history for yourself. Here are some things you should definitely know about having credit cards. In today's episode, we’re talking about both how to pay off student loans and how to use credit cards. We dive into how to make payments automatic, where to start when choosing which loan to pay off first, how to avoid new debt and how to use credit cards (yes those are a type of loan too). I’m not a financial advisor, so please ask your financial advisor for advice. Let’s dive in.  KICK ASS IN LIFE FB: https://www.facebook.com/kickassinyourlife KICK ASS IN LIFE INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/kickassin.life SHOW NOTES:  http://kickassin.life/show-notes/loansandcreditcards NEW EBOOK KICK ASS WITH YOUR MONEY: https://amzn.to/2pcoBYJ Send me a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kick-ass-in-life/message Email me: kickassinyourlife@gmail.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kick-ass-in-life/support

  5. How to Craft Your Elevator Pitch

    How to Craft Your Elevator Pitch

    Imagine the CEO of your dream job company just walked into the elevator. You now have 16 floors to make an impression, get noticed, and get hired. What do you say? Do you panic, convinced that this person won’t care, is too busy, too important, or not interested? No! You have 30 seconds to be bold and get noticed. What do you do? Ok, so maybe this rarely happens in an elevator, but an elevator pitch serves a very specific purpose, whether you’re physically inside an elevator or not. Elevator pitches help you briefly outline who you are, your experience, and what you’re looking for. This pitch could happen anywhere you’re meeting new people—at networking event, a bar, waiting in line to buy coffee, you name it. Networking opportunities happen a lot. So, hone the pitch, craft it to be really spectacular, and practice. You want to quickly and concisely tell someone new who you are, what you do, and what you want. Today we're talking all about how to craft your elevator pitch. We talk about the importance of an elevator pitch when you’ll use it, how to frame it and how to use it so it feels natural.
