Welcome to Minisode Monday, where we kick off the week with something quick and actionable -- to make you more magnetic and effective -- that you can implement right away.

In this Minisode Monday, recent guest Jenny Blake, author of Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One, joins us to try and answer the age-old question: When dissatisfied with anything in life -- whether it's a career or a relationship -- is the grass really greener on the other side?

The Cheat Sheet:
  • Look at where you are now: maybe you're already in the right patch, but you just don't know how to make the grass grow there yet. Or maybe you really do need to move.
  • We all have dreams -- some are worth pursuit, and some aren't. Jenny says you need to ask yourself: "What would I regret more? Staying in place, or making a decision [to pivot]?"
  • Identify your must-haves, your nice-to-haves, and your dealbreakers.
  • What are your knowns and your unknowns?
  • What's the worst possible outcome (of going or staying)?
  • What does success look like to you?
  • Running small experiments (Jenny calls them "pilots") can help you test your "patch of grass." Important caveat: tasting a piece of cake doesn't really tell you what it's like to run a bakery.
  • If you're still unsure, tune in to what your gut instinct says, and allow yourself some time to mull it over without rushing into anything rashly.
