Most career advice is useless. "Follow your passion." "Wait for the right opportunity." "Success happens when you get lucky." These are some of the most common (and misleading) career clichés. And if you’ve been following them, you might be stuck waiting instead of building. In today’s Leadership Spark, I’m sharing three unconventional strategies that completely changed my career and helped me build a life on my own terms. First, learning how to learn is the single most important skill you can develop—waiting for someone else to teach you what you need will keep you stuck. Second, "fake it till you make it" isn’t about pretending—it’s about rewiring your mindset so you can step into opportunities before you feel ready. And finally, chasing passion is one of the biggest career mistakes people make. Passion isn’t something you find—it’s something you bring into what you do. These three shifts changed everything for me. They’ll do the same for you. Listen now.
