  • Setting Goals With Purpose: How to Design a Life You Actually Want
    2025/05/27
    Priorities change, but values don’t. And you can be lost without the proper goal…do you agree? If you feel that your personal and professional life need some alignment, you’re in the right place! Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith discuss how setting goals with purpose can help you design your personal life and career. Tune in to hear about what setting goals helps you with from a psychological standpoint, the problem with mixing up a goal and a vehicle toward the goal, and the mindset needed to align your personal and professional life and goals as much as possible. In this episode, co-hosts Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith talk about defining your goals at this stage of your life.Tamara is blown away by the fact that 75% of the American adult population is quitting their jobs. Today’s topic is close to Dr. Mike’s heart because it’s something he not only studied closely but also personally experienced while working at Berkshire Hathaway.Dr. Mike opens up about how he realized that his personal and professional life goals were misaligned – and what he did to change things around.Often, you’ll find yourself feeling a lack of fulfillment, accomplishment, and purpose, despite having hit your professional goals.Thinking that the job is the dream or that the dream is the job is something many people can’t quite get…The key question becomes: is the job or the career the goal or is it just a vehicle toward the goal?Tamara gives a humorous example of something that pretty much nobody would dream of as their “dream business” but that could become a great vehicle to achieve your income goal.Remember this: if your goals hit your primary aim in life, you’ll know that everything else will be a vehicle to help you accomplish that.Dr. Mike points out that many people tend to live a life by default instead of a life by design.Dr. Mike explains how, from a psychological standpoint, having goals gives you direction and motivation.Proper goal setting helps you accomplish small wins that contribute to your bigger vision.Moreover, real goal setting allows you to focus on prioritization.When was the last time you had a workday go 100% according to your calendar? As Dr. Mike puts it, “priorities change but our values don’t.”Having priorities deeply rooted in your values will make sure that they won’t change all the time.You may be driven to focus on your goal but don’t forget to give yourself room to grow, learn and make mistakes, says Dr. Mike.Tamara touches on the concept of “failing fast and failing forward.”The late Bob Proctor defined a goal as the continual pursuit of a worthy, meaningful ideal.Dr. Mike brings Tony Robbins into the conversation – he believes it’s never a lack of resources, but a lack of resourcefulness, that stops us from moving forward.Tamara shares an important reminder: just because something feels uncomfortable, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong. It just probably means that it’s outside of our current comfort zone.Dr. Mike discusses his personal challenge in finding the right mentor and the impact that had on his journey.Dr. Mike and Tamara wrap up by sharing an example that illustrates the importance of proper goal setting — and a reminder: you don’t have to go through all of it on your own.

  • Battered Career Syndrome and the Search for Fulfillment: Is It Time for a Change?
    2025/05/20
    Battered Career Syndrome. Three words that prevent millions of people from achieving fulfillment in both their professional and personal life. What is it? What are its symptoms and how do you overcome it? That’s what co-hosts Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith address in this episode! Tune in to learn about Dr. Mike’s story with Battered Career Syndrome, how it manifests itself, and what you can do to avoid being like ¾ of the adult working population (who are actively thinking about quitting their jobs), and have the career – and life – you always dreamed of. In today’s episode, which is the second of a 10-episode series dedicated to the 10 steps of figuring out your ideal career, co-hosts Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith discuss Battered Career Syndrome.Having a career that isn’t getting you to where you’d like to go, both personally and professionally, may be a sign of Battered Career Syndrome.Dr. Mike Smith feels that Battered Career Syndrome – something he struggled with in the past – is something that isn’t talked about enough.According to global studies nearly ¾ of the adult working population are actively thinking about quitting their jobs.As emotional human creatures we tend to find greater comfort in staying in a place of pain and discomfort rather than facing the unknown, the perceived potential pain of change.The idea of changing jobs, changing location, getting a promotion, stepping out on our own may feel like too much, Dr. Mike explains.However, people tend to forget the flip side of the coin: the psychological, mental, and physical effects of that…Finding more comfort staying where you are and not knowing what you’re feeling, and why you’re feeling it, are two main reasons why people stay at their job (even when fulfillment isn’t there).Tamara touches upon the analogies between insanity and Battered Career Syndrome: doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different outcome.“By not taking ownership and personal responsibility for where we’re at we’re totally giving away the power to change things”, says Dr. Mike.The job market will always fluctuate and evolve but, with the right mindset, you’ll be able to seize the opportunities that it brings about.Dr. Mike explains that the most short-term psychological impact of Battered Career Syndrome is that sense of feeling lost.Dr. Mike discusses the impact that short-term aspects have on long-term feelings – and that lead to isolation, a lack of purpose and a lack of a sense of fulfillment.It can become a vicious cycle that ends up taking you to a place of anxiety, stress, worry, fear, and doubt…Dr. Mike opens up about how he got to understand he was experiencing Battered Career Syndrome, and how he navigated through those times.Tamara brings up the concept of “golden handcuffs” and figuring out your primary goal in life.Confusing the dream with the vehicle to the dream is a common trap many people fall into.Some of Tamara’s colleagues joke that J-O-B actually stands for “Just Over Broke”.Remember: things that are most personal are most universal.Dr. Mike shares the mental and physical repercussions that Battered Career Syndrome had on him.According to a McKinsey study, 70% of employees define their sense of purpose through work. Yet, only 15% feel fulfilled in their current roles…Dr. Mike and Tamara share some final considerations about overcoming Battered Career Syndrome and reclaiming your life – both personally and professionally.

  • Breaking Free from Self-Sabotage: Overcoming Negative Thinking
    2025/05/06
    In this pilot episode of Career Compass, host Tamara Loring and guest Dr. Mike Smith talk about self-sabotage and negative thinking. From jaw-dropping stats about the American workforce and the psychological reasons behind imposter’s syndrome to the difference between self-sabotage and battered work syndrome, and four strategies for overcoming negative thinking… no stone is left unturned! Tune in to learn about an important question you should ask yourself and key steps you should take to get unstuck and don’t let self-sabotage stop you whenever you have to deal with it. Host Tamara Loring kicks the episode off mentioning a 2023 Gallup poll that reported that only a third of Americans feel engaged at work.A Zippia survey of a thousand people revealed that at least half of the workforce don’t like their job at all.The cause of this? The disengagement is caused by the lack of the freedom for people to be themselves.Tamara cites the late Brian Klemmer who claimed that if how-tos were enough, we’d all be skinny, rich, and happy…Tamara asks Dr. Mike Smith about self-sabotage – and why people expect different results even though they take the same action over, and over, again.Dr. Smith touches upon the relationship between self-sabotage and negative thinking.Dr. Smith shares a story of experiencing the so-called imposter’s syndrome and self-doubting himself – including the key questions his wife asked him and that enabled him to step away from self-doubt. Feeling like an imposter? Tamara suggests sitting back and saying “I’m here for a reason. I was given this position/responsibility for a reason!”.Fundamentally, we form self-doubting thoughts because of our need for societal acceptance.We crave being part of something bigger than ourselves to the point that we question whether we would fit in and would be able to contribute in a meaningful way.Dr. Smith explains the psychology behind imposter syndrome and how it can be stopped.There are a couple of things that can be your north star and help you get rid of self-doubt – Dr. Smith goes over what you should focus on to accomplish that.Tamara and Dr. Smith discuss the concept of battered career syndrome.Self-sabotage is something that is internally initiated and carried out by you as a person, while the battered work syndrome is driven by external circumstances.Dr. Smith lists four different strategies that you can use to overcome negative thinking.Remember: never be afraid to step into and share your expertise, your wisdom, your passion, and the school of hard knocks that you’ve gone through in life.According to Tony Robbins everyone periodically goes into a period of feeling sad, depressed and/or emotionally beat up – the difference is between how quickly you pull yourself up versus how long you stay in that negative phase.
