In the latest episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland, we delve into the transformative power of saying “yes” in your career. It’s easy to let fear and risk aversion dictate your decisions, but sometimes the boldest choices yield the greatest rewards.
Reflecting on my own journey, I share how a pivotal decision to move from Germany to Russia, despite the risks and doubts from those around me, became a cornerstone of my career growth. By embracing the unknown and stepping out of my comfort zone, I was able to seize opportunities that others might have shied away from.

Saying “yes” opens doors to experiences and challenges that can lead to significant personal and career development. It encourages you to embrace opportunities that might initially seem daunting but could ultimately lead to your success.
Tune in to explore how you can apply this principle in your own career, and why taking calculated risks by saying “yes” more often can be the key to unlocking new opportunities and achieving greater success.

Transcript:
One of the biggest limitations in people's career is they're afraid. They are afraid to say yes. Most of the time we're balancing how risky it is to do something.
Let's take myself as an example.
When I got the opportunity to move to Russia from Germany a couple of years ago, I decided to jump in and say yes, let's do this.
And everything falls into place afterward. I've had a lot of situations like this in the past. I said yes, though that everyone around me said maybe it's not the right thing, maybe you shouldn't be doing this. If you say yes more often than you say no, even though you understand it's risky, you are going to make a huge career.
Step up and say more, yes, and you will win.
