Best of the Year from Invincible Career
I apologize if you have already received this. Medium doesn’t give me much control over my publications’ email lists. I switched to publishing my Medium articles under my Invincible Career publication in 2019, so please follow my writing there if you’d like to stay in touch.
In 2020, I spent hundreds of hours creating over 130 personal and professional development articles and podcasts to share with you. If my writing has enriched your life this year, helped you find a job, or given you more confidence at work, please consider subscribing to my newsletter. Thank you!
🎧 If you want to hear me talk about this story and go into more detail: Listen now.
It’s hard to see the forest for the trees with all of the articles I’ve written. So, I wanted to do an end of the year wrap-up to categorize and summarize everything for you.
More often than you might imagine, people ask for my advice on a topic, and I can point them to a specific story that I’ve written about it. Sometimes people are already subscribers or followers, but it’s easy to miss something over the course of a year!
I hope this helps! Next week, I will kick off a whole new year of writing. 🎉
