NO = Next Opportunity "Kya Karun ki mujhe Na kehna nahi aata, kisi ka Dil bhi dukhaya na jaata.." - if you are a 90's kid you would have heard this song by Shaan for sure. Even as a kid (ok, young adult), I related hard with this song… We're often told "yes" is the key to success, but what about the power of "no"? From an early age, we are taught that "yes" is the more favorable response while "no" has a negative ring to it. As we get older, we're encouraged to open ourselves up to opportunities, say yes to new experiences and step out of our comfort zone. But no does not mean an opportunity is lost. It took me a lifetime to realize that NO = Next Opportunity. It’s such a powerful thought. Think of it as saying "yes" to the right things by saying "no" to the wrong ones. ➡️ Here's how: > Saying no to commitments that don't align with your goals frees up precious time for what truly matters >Saying no to the wrong things creates space for the right ones to come knocking. >Saying no shows respect for your needs and encourages others to do the same. NO can be the key to unlocking your next big opportunity! So the next time you feel guilty or pressured into saying ‘yes’, reconsider. What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments

I left my high-paying job for my passion. In the past, I was in a confusing situation of reversibility. At that time my job and business both were running smoothly. Still, things were not so smooth from my end. I wished I could focus on one side only. Yes, my job was secure but: ↳ Business is where I see my future. Finally, I chose my business and left my job. I started seeing a promising future with Design Monks.  But I kept missing things while spending time on my job. I always wish to see myself full-time at my agency Design Monks. Everyone wants: - Freedom - Happy life - More time The flexibility of running my own business allows that. Also, there were 02 more important things for me! My fitness and my hobbies are always important. Balancing them with my job was not easy for me. But after my agency:  ↳ I have the freedom to prioritize both of them. Leaving a secure job was not an easy decision. I still believe it was the right U-turn for me. But now, I'm pretty excited to explore: - new opportunities. - new challenges. - more growth. Remember: Leaving a job is like stepping off a ledge, a little scary at first, but the view from the bottom is already incredible! I can't wait to see what the climb brings!

N.O. Literally stands for Next Opportunity. Thats what NO means. Here’s what No does Not mean: It doesn’t mean “I’m not cut out for this” It doesn’t mean “it wasn’t meant to be” It doesn’t mean “I’m not good good enough” It doesn’t mean “I don’t deserve it” It doesn’t mean “I need to get a bunch more certificates or experience” It doesn’t mean there’s something wrong. It doesn’t mean anything about you. It simply means: Next Opportunity. It can be Super neutral and drama free. Or it can be packed with shame, fear and worst case scenario thinking. We choose what we do with our NO’s.

🤔 Should I Still Enjoy Myself While Looking for a New Job? 🎉 Two months ago, I found myself unexpectedly transitioning out of my previous role. While the job search journey can be challenging, I've been pondering a question that I believe many of us face during this time: Should I still allow myself to enjoy life's pleasures, even amidst the uncertainty of job hunting? The answer, I've come to realize, is a resounding YES! 💪🏼 While I'm diligently pursuing new career opportunities, I've also found solace in maintaining connections with friends and loved ones. Sure, the circumstances might be different, and outings might be adjusted to accommodate a tighter budget, but the joy of spending time with those who matter remains invaluable. Whether it's a simple coffee catch-up, hike, or even a cozy night in, these moments provide a much-needed balance to the intensity of job searching. Plus, they serve as reminders of the support system that uplifts and sustains us through life's ups and downs. So, to all my LinkedIn friends: don't forget to take breaks, cherish the moments, and embrace the journey with a positive mindset. Remember, life is about so much more than just your career!
