Ever wonder if you’re meant to climb the corporate ladder or launch your own business?

It’s a question many of us face during our careers. Heather Monahan, Founder of Boss In Heels and former Chief Revenue Officer at a company with over 1,000 employees, knows the struggle — and she has some powerful advice to help you decide.

Here’s how to start uncovering the path that’s right for you:

1. Take Action – Clarity comes from doing, not just thinking. Don’t wait for the perfect moment.

2. Start Journaling – Track your emotions and energy. Notice what makes you feel most alive.

3. Test a Side Hustle on Weekends – Use your free time to explore other passions without quitting your day job.

4. Tune Inward – Your inner voice knows more than you think. Are you really fulfilled where you are?

Whether you’re building someone else’s dream or creating your own, the first step is starting.
