Most people don’t slow down because they’re lazy.
They slow down because they want everything just right before they move.
Job seekers spend months polishing résumés, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles before they ever start actually searching.
Professionals over-edit reports and presentations until the opportunity passes.
They all have the same problem…waiting until it’s perfect before they ship.
But progress doesn’t come from polishing. It comes from acting.
This week’s lesson is all about breaking free from perfectionism so you can finally make real progress.
I share how I overcame a decade of “consultant conditioning” that taught me perfection was everything and how learning to act fast and iterate changed my entire career.
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to make something flawless, this one’s for you.
Enjoy today’s video: How to Beat Perfectionism and Finally Move Forward!
When you do, you’ll learn how to shift from “getting it right” to “getting it done,” and why done beats perfect every time!

If not, it might be time to sharpen the case you make to your employer.
Here’s the truth…
Your boss doesn’t walk around with a running tally of your contributions.
That’s your job.
And just like you wouldn’t go into an interview without a resume, you shouldn’t walk into a pay conversation without a business case for why you deserve more.
Here are five of the most powerful ways to prove your value:
Past Performance = Value realized through achievements. Review your track record of accomplishments and the measurable benefits to your company including revenue, savings, efficiency, growth. 
Future Value = Projected contributions and benefits. Lay out how your current trajectory, new responsibilities, and upcoming initiatives will multiply your impact. 
Replacement Cost = Market demand for your skills. Research what the market pays for your role and expertise. If there’s a gap, your company needs to reappraise you. 
Brand = Reputation and trust you’ve built. Your relationships and track record generate trust, credibility, and political capital that the company relies on. 
Influence = The performance lift you give others. Teams, projects, and colleagues rise higher because of your presence and leadership.
<h3> WANT THE FULL LESSON ON HOW TO GET PAID MORE?</h3>
Join me this Friday, October 17th for our Leadership Coaching Program session.
I’ll walk you step by step through how to:
<ul>
<li>Build your comprehensive value plan and document.</li>
<li>Present it in a way that resonates with decision-makers.</li>
<li>Confidently make your pitch for more money.</li>
</ul>
That’s just this month’s lesson.
Members also get access to a mega-library of 80+ leadership trainings, monthly live sessions with me, detailed workbooks, and long-term implementation challenges to build every career skill you need.

Either way, I hope these five steps help you start preparing your case, and I’ll see you soon!

They manage tasks.
They tell.
They correct.
They rarely coach.
That’s the difference between a boss people tolerate and a leader people trust.
When you learn how to coach and mentor someone, everything changes.
You build loyalty and develop people who think for themselves.
This week’s lesson shares a simple four-step framework to help you manage people more effectively through better communication and growth.
If you lead a team, you’ll recognize yourself in this one.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to motivate someone who just isn’t getting it, this will show you why.
It’s not about pushing harder.
It’s about coaching smarter.
Enjoy 4 Steps to Manage People Better!
At first, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been doing these steps all along.
Then, you can take action, or even manage upward, to start maximizing your team’s enjoyment and performance!

They assume the holidays are dead time. 
They think no one’s hiring until January. 
They coast into the new year.
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
November through February is THE BEST time of year to land a new role.
Companies evaluate their budgets.
They make sure to spend the current year’s budget so they don’t lose it.
They prepare next year’s budgets and identify the resources.
Then, they hurry to start recruiting because people aren’t teleported on January 2.
They panic because employees who didn’t get the promotions or raises leave. And then they have more seats to fill.
All these employee mobility spikes mean opportunities for you.
But only if you’re in the game!
If you step off the gas now, you’re handing those jobs to someone else.
That’s what I cover in today’s video…
 Why Now is the Best Time of Year to Job Search!

That means the best opportunities of the year are right around the corner.
And the people who land those jobs?
They’re already working on their marketing materials NOW.
That’s why I’m hosting a <a class="apkmuMaFXiAyzXXfqtKvfkGGdytsALnAqY " tabindex="0" href="https://www.milewalkacademy.com/andrew-lacivita-resume-writing-workshop-2025" target="_self" data-test-app-aware-link="">5-Day, FREE, LIVE Résumé Writing Workshop </a>starting September 29 to get you ready before the rush.
But first… a little résumé pomp and circumstance.
Today, I’m bringing you a résumé greatest hits, four of my favorite lessons, each packed with strategies you can use right now to get your résumé working harder for you.
<a class="apkmuMaFXiAyzXXfqtKvfkGGdytsALnAqY " tabindex="0" href="https://milewalk.com/mwblog/best-resume-format-the-one-recruiters-love/" target="_self" data-test-app-aware-link="">Best Resume Format | The One Recruiters Love</a> There are endless debates about résumé formats…chronological, functional, hybrid, skills-based. But the truth is recruiters have a clear favorite. In this lesson, I show you the exact structure that consistently grabs their attention, highlights your story in the right order, and makes it easier for hiring managers to say “yes.” If you’ve ever wondered whether your résumé layout is helping you or hurting you, watch this video.
<a class="apkmuMaFXiAyzXXfqtKvfkGGdytsALnAqY " tabindex="0" href="https://milewalk.com/mwblog/add-these-metrics-to-your-resume/" target="_self" data-test-app-aware-link="">Write an Incredible Resume with These Metrics | 40 Examples!</a>Numbers speak louder than adjectives. Saying you “led a team” isn’t nearly as powerful as showing you “grew a team from 3 to 15 while cutting project timelines by 22%.” In this session, I share 40 ready-to-use metric examples that turn vague tasks into quantified accomplishments. You’ll learn how to measure even the “unmeasurable” parts of your job and finally give employers the proof they crave.
<a class="apkmuMaFXiAyzXXfqtKvfkGGdytsALnAqY " tabindex="0" href="https://milewalk.com/mwblog/resume-revolution-writing-tips-and-ai-tricks-that-elevate-your-resume/" target="_self" data-test-app-aware-link="">Resume Revolution: Writing Tips and AI Tricks that Elevate Your Resume</a> Love it or hate it, AI is here to stay. And when used correctly, it can completely change the way you craft your résumé. This isn’t about letting a robot write your story. It’s about learning the smart prompts, shortcuts, and techniques that blend your voice with AI efficiency. I’ll walk you through real examples (yes, with ChatGPT, because not everyone has ANDY AI!) that show you how to save time, beat applicant trashing systems, and still sound like you.
<a class="apkmuMaFXiAyzXXfqtKvfkGGdytsALnAqY " tabindex="0" href="https://milewalk.com/mwblog/10-ways-to-sound-more-accomplished-in-your-resume-and-job-interviews/" target="_self" data-test-app-aware-link="">10 Techniques to Sound More Accomplished in Your Resume and Job Interviews</a> If your résumé feels flat or your interview answers sound junior, the problem may be in the words you choose. Small tweaks can make the difference between “I handled…” and “I raised…” In this video, I share 10 simple but powerful language shifts that immediately elevate your perceived level of seniority and influence. These same techniques will also help you sell yourself in interviews without ever sounding arrogant.

It had me reflecting on the biggest influences that rerouted my path, especially the books that shaped my mindset, my career, my health, and even my view of the universe.
These aren’t just books I enjoyed.
They are turning points that literally changed how I live.
Some helped me become a better teacher, others taught me discipline and financial independence, and a few opened up my sense of purpose.
I recently did a livestream where I shared these lessons in detail.
You can watch the slimmed-down, “books” version of the livestream above!
Here’s the list in the same order I covered them, with a personal note on why each mattered to me.
Mindset, Self-Discovery
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Sweat-Small-Stuff-Its/dp/0786881852/">Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, Richard Carlson</a> 
I stumbled into this book in 1997 after literally knocking over a stack of them in Barnes & Noble. It sparked my lifelong love of self-help. Its short chapters and practical reminders taught me to let go of stress and focus on what actually matters, which helped me lead my teams (and my life) with a clearer head.
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Youll-See-When-Believe-Transformation/dp/0060937335">You’ll See It When You Believe It, Wayne Dyer</a> 
This is the book I’ve re-read more than any other, sometimes daily for weeks at a time. Dyer’s lessons on manifestation and the “seven attachments” helped me release ego, control, and the need to be right, which created more peace and focus in every area of my life.
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Stumbling-Happiness-Daniel-Gilbert/dp/1400077427">Stumbling on Happiness, Daniel Gilbert</a> 
Gilbert proves we’re never as happy or as sad as we think we’ll be, because we can’t fully predict our future selves. This freed me from chasing perfection and helped me embrace the journey, knowing joy comes more from growth than from reaching the finish line.
Storytelling, Career Transformation
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Made-Stick-Ideas-Survive-Others-ebook/dp/B000N2HCKQ/">Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath</a> 
A dearly-departed friend gifted me this book in December 2007, and it completely changed how I thought about communication. Its framework for making ideas memorable became the foundation of my Interview Intervention methodology, and eventually the blueprint for the storytelling systems I still teach today.
<a href="https://www.milewalkacademy.com/free-hardcover-copy-of-interview-intervention">Interview Intervention, Yours Truly</a> 
I wrote this book in just five weeks at the end of 2011, and it completely transformed my career. For the first time, I captured years of coaching into a system anyone could use, and that was the first official step that turned me from recruiter to teacher to author.
Choice, Goals, Perspective
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/This-Water-Delivered-Significant-Compassionate/dp/0316068225/">This Is Water, David Foster Wallace</a> 
This slim book, adapted from a 2005 commencement speech, is one of the most powerful I’ve read. Wallace’s simple but profound message, that you can choose what to think about, has reshaped how I approach daily life, teaching me to stay present and compassionate in the middle of life’s noise. It also served at the stimulation for the next book on this list.
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Out-Reach-but-Sight-Impossible/dp/1493739980/">Out of Reach But in Sight, Me Again</a> 
Born from a keynote I gave to scholarship students, I turned the speech into a book. Capturing timeless lessons on setting and pursuing goals, it later evolved into my Goal Setting Masterclass and proved how small steps can inspire big transformations.
Wealth, Health
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Millionaire-Next-Door-Surprising-Americas/dp/1589795474/">The Millionaire Next Door, Thomas Stanley and William Danko</a> 
At 30, this book confirmed that wealth is built through discipline, not high income. It cemented my lifelong approach of living below my means, investing early, and building habits that would later help me achieve financial independence and peace of mind.
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Good-Energy-Surprising-Connection-Metabolism/dp/0593712641">Good Energy, Casey Means</a> 
Of the 70+ health books I’ve read, this one had the most immediate impact on my life. Understanding metabolic health and cutting refined sugars, refined grains, and seed oils gave me more energy, clarity, and resilience than I thought possible. I’ve felt sharper and healthier ever since.
My Life’s Work, Beyond
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Zebra-Code-Step-Step-Professional/dp/B0CNDDJBNY">The Zebra Code, The New Me</a> 
This is my most ambitious book, and easily the toughest project I’ve ever taken on. It demanded every ounce of experience, discipline, and creativity I had, but it also gave me the chance to share the full methodology I believe can help any professional thrive.
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Souls-Studies-Between-Lives/dp/1567184855/">Journey of Souls, Michael Newton</a> 
This book opened my mind to ideas about past and future lives, whether you take them literally or not. It gave me a new lens for thinking about purpose, why I might be wired the way I am, and how being open to bigger questions can deepen the way you live today.
Watch the livestream version of this list above!
These aren’t just books on a shelf.
They’re turning points in my story.
Please add any of these to your own shelf that speak to you.
Maybe they can be turning points in your story too!
PS: I only cried four times. One was borderline. I was more choked up than it appears on the livestream. I even cried a few times as I was typing this digest. I hope you have memories like these that get you a little choked up. Those meaningful events that changed your life. Thank them. Honor them. They’re yours and only yours.

Know what that means?
It’s game time for your career.
This is the moment to reflect, evaluate, and reset before reviews, raises, and promotions get locked in for the year.
Even if you feel “on track,” the employees who win the most are the ones who finish strong and start next year faster.
So, here’s your 7-step Year-End Playbook to get ahead:
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 1. Reflect on your accomplishments. 
List the projects, wins, and skills you built this year. Use my <a href="https://www.milewalkacademy.com/andrew-lacivita-career-achievements-journal-free-download">FREE Career Achievements Journal</a> to capture outcomes, numbers, and lessons learned. This becomes your evidence file for reviews and negotiations.
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 2. Evaluate your professional growth. 
What skills have you actually leveled up? Where do you need to improve? Use my <a href="https://www.milewalkacademy.com/andrew-lacivita-leadership-skill-building-roadmap-assessment">FREE Leadership Skill-Building Roadmap</a> to spot the gaps, and if you really want the blueprint, grab <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Zebra-Code-Step-Step-Professional/dp/B0CNDDJBNY">The Zebra Code: A Step-By-Step Guide for Mastering Career Skills That Make You a Standout Professional</a> for a full career skills map.
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 3. Set goals for next year. 
Use your reflections to lock in 2026 goals and targets. Make sure they are aligned with your long-term trajectory, not just your short-term to-do list.
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 4. Build your skill development plan. 
For each skill you need, define your training path including programs, books, mentors, and practice. If you want step by step instructions, <a href="https://milewalk.com/mwblog/skill-building-codified-build-your-career-development-plan/">check out my vlog post on how to codify your career plan</a>.
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 5. Schedule check-ins. 
Do not let this be a once-a-year activity. Put quarterly or even monthly reviews on your calendar now so you stay on track.
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 6. Seek feedback. 
Engage peers, managers, and mentors to uncover blind spots and validate strengths. Do not wait until the review meeting. It’ll be too late.
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 7. Update your resume and LinkedIn. 
Even if you’re not job hunting, freshen your profile. Add new wins, skills, and visibility boosts. (I have a <a href="https://www.milewalkacademy.com/resume-writing-free-webinar-andrew-lacivita">FREE Resume Webinar here</a> and as well as LinkedIn vlog posts on <a href="https://milewalk.com/mwblog/7-must-know-linkedin-tips-that-get-you-noticed/">7 Must-Know Tips to Get You Noticed on LinkedIn</a> and <a href="https://milewalk.com/mwblog/linkedin-tips-for-job-seekers-that-attract-recruiters-an-inside-look/">LinkedIn Tips for Job Seekers That Attract Recruiters | An Inside Look</a>.)
Take these steps now and you’ll not only close 2025 with a bang, you’ll open 2026 with momentum.
But here is the real opportunity…
This Friday (Sept 19th), I’m teaching the full Employee Year-End Playbook live inside my Leadership Coaching Program.
In this session, I’ll walk you through how to capture your accomplishments, evaluate your growth, and set yourself up for a strong review and faster start to 2026. You’ll also get the workbook and a 4-week challenge to make sure you put it into action.

May of last year.
I was in my office already a lofty 8 minutes into my day.
Headphones on, speaking (uh, reading) into a microphone… and yelling at ducks.
Yes, ducks.
As I tried to record a passage for <a href="https://email.kjbm.milewalk.com/c/eJxskbFu2zAQhp-GWgob5EkipYFDE1dAOwQFMrWLcNSdG8YSqZJ0jPjpi9jO0DYLAX4f-R_wH67rGHBhe8BndH6TS0y8TzGUvFlTpONUfAwVWaX73jQVW2XaTgJApype0M8j8exfOL2OnmzdStMZqLWSN-vJgmo1KAMGbmzhnPEXj-V1ZXtFLkWkCXO5PUmc4zFN_OH_zL-PHK7yHR3dJe3L2-3un7CPzJNt9hLRETWd6pumc11PqJ0jg-2kyfSVtyChlb3SStUK5FbrpiNDTmtmMLQXjTw8u2W7-JlPOB-2U1yq2T6VsmZRfxYwCBhOp9MWFzzH8KYFDD_ZJdzcR-LNY-H1enxPcc85-xhwFjDQKmC4k_cPu923u4cf1XtjmQNxGiku6IP9f3iyBzp7prOfRCP_Vjz51XMolz3VEoyqsi_Xhk1XV8U--sKfvu4E1BfwYuFPAAAA__-T6raV">The Zebra Code</a> audiobook, those feathered freeloaders on my backyard lake quacked like it was their job.
I must’ve sounded like a lunatic, hollering “Come on! I need 75 quiet minutes!”
But here’s the truth…
I wasn’t just recording an audiobook.
I was chasing a big goal that was important to me.
Writing a book is one thing.
Giving voice to it, putting myself on record, was something else entirely.
Big goals aren’t really about the thing you achieve.
They’re about who you become in the pursuit. (In this case, hopefully, not a total lunatic. )
They stretch your patience, your creativity, your confidence, and yes… even your relationships with ducks.
This week’s video is all about this truth.
What really happens to you when you work toward a massive goal (and why the transformation almost never looks the way you expect)?
 Watch: How Working Toward a Big Goal Changes You!
If you’ve ever set an ambitious goal, whether career-related, personal, or financial, you’ll see yourself in this.
And if you haven’t yet?
It might just give you the push to start.

When you walk into an interview, you know the tough ones are coming.
How do you handle problems? 
How do you serve customers? 
How do you disagree? 
How do you influence? 
How do you lead? 
What are you passionate about?
These aren’t just “questions.”
They’re tests.
Each one is designed to uncover whether you can think critically, collaborate, lead, and actually thrive in their environment.
The trouble?
Most candidates stumble.
They ramble, give generic answers, or miss the chance to actually sell their value.
This week’s lesson is on exactly how to answer these six hardest questions.
You’ll learn: 
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> A step-by-step formula to keep your answers sharp and structured. 
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Word-for-word examples you can model. LITERALLY! 
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Why interviewers ask these questions and how to tailor your reply.
If you master these six, the rest of the interview will feel easy.

You’ve done the prep.
But the moment you walk into the room (or log into Zoom), it’s like you’re playing a different game.
Everything seemed fine when you were doing the work and sailing through the projects.
But to articulate that to someone who doesn’t know you…ugh.
In these cases, your words matter. 
Your tone matters. 
And don’t even get me started on your posture, your facial expressions, and even how you listen.
If you’ve ever walked away from an interview thinking, I wish they’d seen the real me, this week’s lesson is for you.
I’m breaking down the exact verbal and nonverbal moves that top candidates use to win over interviewers both in-person and on-screen.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
<ul>
<li>How to project confidence and warmth the second the conversation starts.</li>
<li>The posture, gestures, and micro-expressions that build trust.</li>
<li>How to use your voice to emphasize your value (without sounding rehearsed).</li>
<li>Why “active listening” is your secret weapon in any interview format.</li>
</ul>
Whether you’re across the table or on the other side of the screen, these tactics will help you look, sound, and feel like the top candidate every time.
