Drawing on her own decade-long corporate journey in marketing, Joanna reveals the pitfalls of always agreeing to take on new tasks and the repercussions it can have on job security, career advancement, and mental health. Joanna talks about the importance of recognizing and celebrating our achievements as working women, the need to avoid taking on tasks that don't contribute to our career growth, and the role of gender in these dynamics. She also offers valuable advice on how to put ourselves first, hone our skills, and stop sacrificing our success for others. This can apply to owning your own business as we discuss setting boundaries and asserting authority. There are benefits of knowing when to say 'yes' or 'no' and how this can shape your personal brand, balance your responsibilities, and ultimately, propel you toward your goals.Time Stamps:05:05 - Job Security and Comparison Anxiety08:17 - The Importance of Brand Differentiation15:24 - Personal Branding and Setting Boundaries29:28 - Career Transformation37:30 - Balancing Tasks and Recognizing Hiring Needs41:39 - Creating Awareness and Making Changes 30-Day FREE Trial to Kajabi: All-in-One Online Business Software  Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clickteasepodcast📱 Social: @themichellepualani | @joanna_atwork📩 Michelle: [email protected]🌐 Joanna: millennialmktr.com📅 10-Day Course Creation Challenge (Joanna) 💻 Build a Successful Online Business Using Kajabi 🎙️ Get Descript for Podcasting ✅ Try Out Monday.com
