𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐬, “𝐍𝐨 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠.”

𝐋𝐈𝐄!

Earlier this month I hosted my first live event in over five years. Let me be real with you. I almost talked myself out of it. I had already postponed it once. The voice in my head kept whispering that I could not do it, that maybe it was too much, that the time had passed.

But this time I went all in. Nothing about it was perfect, except for one thing: it actually happened. And I did it.

I stretched myself further than I had in years. I got my makeup done. I brought in a photographer and videographer. I even planned an after event. I showed up scared, but I showed up anyway. And here is the truth, had been telling myself a lie that I could not pull it off. But I did.

That moment reminded me how many of us sit on the sidelines because we believe the lie. We wait, we stall, we second-guess. And all the while, the opportunity is right there waiting for us to just show up.

The same goes for job searching. People say, “No one is hiring.” But I see people in my community and clients I am coaching land jobs every single week.

The one big superpower right now is human to human connection. Nothing will ever beat it. Not even AI. It is irreplaceable.

If you believe the lie, you will stay stuck. If you choose the truth, you will move differently.

Here are 5 job search musts for the fourth quarter:

Polish your profile. Update your resume and LinkedIn with clear wins from this year.
Work your network. Reach out to five contacts this week. Coffee chats and check ins open doors.
Practice your pitch. Be ready to answer “Tell me about yourself” with confidence.
Track your search. Keep a system for applications, interviews, and follow ups. Clarity builds momentum.
Stay interview ready. Year end hires move fast. Have your stories prepped and your mindset locked in.

Do not believe the lie. Companies are still hiring, and some of the best offers show up right before the year ends.

My final thought: what lie have you been telling yourself, and what truth will you choose to walk into this quarter?
