Happy Career Valentine’s Day!
A quality relationship—whether in life or in your career—is built on mutual respect, teamwork, and commitment. Just like a great love story, your career should inspire you, challenge you, make you feel proud, and bring out the best in you. Does yours?
You spend around 40 hours a week at work—the same amount of waking hours many people share with their partners. If you’re not in love with your career, it’s time to make a change!
The Three Types of Career Relationships
If you’re like many people we speak to who don’t love their career, you probably fall into one of three career relationship categories:
-
You’re in a toxic relationship. You’re paying gym rent to a gym that takes and never gives. They have all the power, and your loyalty keeps you holding on, even when they pick up more PTs to compete against you. It’s a one-sided relationship, but they convince you this is normal and that you’re lucky to have them. Deep down, you know it’s a dead-end, but you stay because you don’t want to let down your clients—and you fear there’s nothing better out there.
-
You’re in a one-sided relationship. You have your own independent PT business, and you’re deeply committed—you see a future together, maybe even forever. But no matter how much effort, love, and passion you pour into it, the business just isn’t reciprocating. It refuses to grow into the full-time, long-term, rewarding relationship you deserve. You love it too much to walk away, but deep down, you know something has to change for it to truly work.
-
You’re in a stagnant relationship. Your job feels like a long-term relationship that’s lost its spark. It’s comfortable, but uninspiring. Sure, the paycheck is fine, but where’s the excitement? Where’s the passion? You want something more fulfilling—something that brings out the best in you and lets you truly help others.
