Finding Love and Landing Your Dream Career Are More Alike Than You Think

Finding Love and Landing Your Dream Career Are More Alike Than You Think. Part 1

You’ve heard it before: finding the perfect relationship takes time, effort, and knowing what you want. But here’s the thing—so does finding your dream career. The same principles that guide you in love can actually help you secure the career of your dreams. Whether you’re swiping right for Mr. Right or leveling up your career, there’s a simple truth: success in both comes down to clarity, communication, and non-negotiables.

Let’s dive into how you can apply the same mindset in love and work, using key strategies from our 21-Day Challenge.

1. Know What You Want and What Your Deal Breakers Are

In relationships, you have to be clear about what you’re looking for in a partner and what your non-negotiables are. Are you looking for someone who shares your values? Someone who makes you laugh and challenges you to grow? You know what works for you and what doesn’t.

It’s the same when it comes to your career. If you’re not clear on what you want, you’ll end up drifting from job to job, just like you might drift through relationships. Ask yourself: What are your must-haves in a career? Flexibility? Creative freedom? Growth opportunities? And, just like in love, don’t ignore those red flags. If a job lacks alignment with your core values or offers zero room for growth, it's time to swipe left.

2. Define Your Values

In love, your values are your compass. Without knowing your values, it’s easy to find yourself in relationships that drain your energy or don’t align with your long-term goals. Maybe you value honesty, kindness, or ambition—and you know a partner who doesn’t share those values isn’t for you.

Your career works the same way. What do you value in a workplace? Is it a culture that prioritizes teamwork? A company that values innovation? Knowing your values allows you to choose a job where you’ll thrive, just like knowing your values in a relationship sets you up for long-term happiness.

3. Communication is Key

You can’t have a healthy relationship without good communication. It’s how you build trust, set boundaries, and share your needs. If you don’t communicate clearly, misunderstandings happen, expectations aren’t met, and resentment builds.

In your career, communication is just as important. Ask yourself: Are you effectively communicating what you want from your role? Whether it’s during interviews or at your current job, being clear about your goals, strengths, and needs is crucial. If you’re not getting the support you need to grow or not being recognized for your efforts, it might be because you're not communicating your worth. Speak up!
