STOP SPINNING YOUR WHEELS AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CAREER FUTURE TODAY.

Building a successful career in the world of remote work, hybrid schedules, and a lack of work/life balance is not easy. In fact it’s difficult and often seems impossible. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. By confronting the lies we are told about building a career, this book will bring you one step closer to the epiphany that will change your life.

This workplace manual lays out the truth behind the lies that are fueling the most common career frustrations, including:

• The truth about pay. Hard work doesn’t always lead to more money. Learn how to leverage your position to maximize your salary.
• The truth about promotions. If you want to be considered for a better job title with better pay, you need to be better than your job description. Understand how to build the skills you need to be considered for a promotion.
• The truth about loyalty. Companies are not designed to return the loyalty you give them. Stop waiting for the praise you’ve earned and start focusing on your future.
• The truth about burnout. Work/life balance doesn’t have to mean taking a step back. Learn to work with your brain and not against it.
• The truth about office politics and power. You may hate office politics, but they are in every company in every industry. Learn to use the political landscape of your workplace to your advantage.

Master these unspoken truths for greater recognition, increased opportunities for pay and promotions, and to provide a path to greater influence and power. The truth can indeed set you free.

"A terrific read for the new generations rising in the workforce—and for their leaders."—Stephen M. R. Covey, The New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Speed of Trust and Trust & Inspire

Great Informative Book

Great book with information about workplace politics, how to navigate various situations, and overall career tips. Comes with a companion PDF to review some of the practices that she mentions throughout the book. I did not feel limited with this book by having it read to me rather then reading. If you like Tess and her advice she gives on her Tiktoks, then you will like this book.

Perfect tool for any corporate role

Every minute spent listening to this book provided me with either the guidance I was looking for, reaffirmed my thoughts or increased my confidence in the workplace.

A very small price to pay for an amazing amount of honesty and insight. Your time WILL be spent very well.

Tessa is non-bias and will tell you what you need to hear.

Really profound insight

I really recommend this book to everyone who wants to be successful in their career.

You set the limits

I enjoyed this book so much because it opened my eyes that a lot of the issue are due to lack of communication and understanding. We truly set the limits and this book teaches you a little more on the inner workings of the business when it comes to people .

Eternally grateful for this book
