Manage your career actively: know what the next role requires, get feedback from people who decide, and take work that builds evidence rather than only work that is comfortable.
Part 01
The lesson
Keep a running record of what you delivered and its result. It is the raw material for every review, application and negotiation you will ever have.
Reflection
Questions to sit with
- 01Do you know exactly what you spent last month, or are you estimating?
- 02If your income stopped today, how long could your household continue?
- 03What are you actually building toward financially, and by when?
Put it into practice
Action points
- 01Track every expense for 30 days and categorise them at the end. Do not change your spending in week one — just observe.
- 02List every debt with its interest rate on a single page and choose a repayment order.
