I’m going to say some things that others won’t say to you:

1.) Yes. It is okay to want to make more money.

You shouldn’t ever feel guilty for wanting to elevate your career and earn more so you can live the life you desire.

Stop letting people make you feel like “it’s not always about the money.” 

There is truth to that, sure. But your desire to earn more in order to provide for your family is not rooted in evil or greed. 

And many times it IS about the money.
And that is okay.

2.) Audacity is not a bad word.

Do not let anyone make you feel unworthy of anything that you have the guts to go after and get.

Mediocre people are achieving extraordinary things on audacity alone. 

But you’ve got audacity, ambition, AND the skills to back it up.
So go get what you desire and deserve.

3.) Working in tech may look glamorous, but it’s not for the faint of heart.

These non-technical roles can be a lot of work.

So if you ARE doing it for the tech bag, take the extra time to find a role that aligns as closely as possible to your zone of genius and your values.

Always prioritize yourself, your family, and your values above all else.

That’s exactly why I am building the Skilled Ambition Lab. 

The Lab won’t just help you find any tech job.

It will help you find the RIGHT tech job - one that aligns with your transferable skills, your strengths, and what you actually want your career to look like.

No burnout. No regret. Just strategic alignment.

And the best part? We’re all doing it together. It’s a movement! LFG.
