#55 Are you a warrior or a creator? with Author and Podcast Host Kim Lengling

Be The Wolf

There are two ways people succeed in their careers. They either fight for everything they have or they create everything they have.

Both people can end up in a so-called successful career. But in most cases, one is happy and fulfilled, and one is often miserable.

The warrior is always looking for what is wrong. They can tell you very clearly what they don’t want. They are 14 steps ahead, looking to prevent and counteract any potential problem.

These are the people who will drop anything and everything to save the day at work. They will give up their weekends and work late hours.

The warrior will know who to avoid in the office, how to fly under the radar, and what sets the boss off.

They do their best to make sure NOBODY knows when their struggling. But sometimes their anger will get the best of them.

They will work harder than anyone else. And will usually get the least amount of appreciation and acknowledgment.

And when they get everything they “thought” they wanted, they will be disappointed and think, “Is this all there is?”

The warrior never knows when to put down the sword. And their job will often take over their whole life.

On the other hand, the creator is clear on what is important to them. And if their job is not providing that, they ask for it - without fear of backlash.

The creator leaves work at work and enjoys their personal life. They are the ones whose ideas are acknowledged and implemented. They are the ones who are appreciated and who people want to be around.

I love taking people from warriors to creators. Because who they become in the end is a powerful creator who has the ability to pick up the sword (if needed). But they don’t live and die by the sword. They get the best of both worlds and they experience the greatest amount of joy in their work and regular lives.

This week’s podcast guest, Kim Lengling, lost her good-paying job with the pandemic hit, and instead of scrambling for something else, she asked herself 3 questions. Which has allowed her to go from a sales and marketing road warrior to a trail-blazing creator.
