6 Limiting Beliefs in Career and How to Overcome Them

 

I used to have a job that didn’t give me any happiness or fulfillment at all. 

 

My friends told me to take some time off or find a new hobby to take my mind off things. That worked for a while. But at some point, I found myself once again dragging my feet to work because I would rather be anywhere else but there and do anything else but my job.
