Entrepreneur, speaker, author of the book "How to return the inspiration and love their jobs again," Scott Motz in his column on the Inc shared tips on how to achieve success and build a career dreams.
1. Remember that your career depends on you
When I got a job in a large company shortly after the 25th anniversary, I thought that some kind of higher intelligence will simply move me from post to post until my career dreams do not come true. I myself with the little that I did.
Do not fall into this trap. Yes, once you help others, but it depends on you your future.
Know what you want and take the initiative.
2. Choose your own path
Only you can decide what is important to you. Move to the career and the life that you want to do, not who others expect from you. Then you'll be happy with your life, and in old age does not have to be sorry, you do not have the courage to go their own way.
3. Do not seek the approval of others, be true to yourself
Approval of others - this is an external motivation. It does not mean anything, and only deprive you of confidence. If success is for you approval, you will never will achieve. Do this to be true to yourself.
4. Know what your definition of success changes
25 years ago, I believe that the success - as quickly as possible and often gets a boost. Now I see it as a service to something larger than myself. Then I would be so, and it never occurred.
5. Charge the surrounding energy, and not take away her
Those who charges the other with enthusiasm and optimism, generally attract success. But the pessimist, gossips and people he does not come with a negative attitude.
6. Remember that the character appears in difficulties
It is easy to win over the people, when all is well. But you will manifest itself in a critical situation? Be sure the surrounding remember how you behaved. Use these times to show their best side.
Do not take it out on colleagues not to shift the blame on them, if you made a mistake. It will only spoil relations.
7. Promote the other, when the advance themselves
It's nice to climb up the career ladder. But do not forget at the same time helping others. Use the new position, not only for their own purposes, improve the lives of others. Success returned a hundredfold when you help people develop in their field.
8. The only one worth to compare yourself - are you yesterday
Constantly comparing yourself to others, you will succeed, but only make yourself miserable. Try to be better than we were yesterday. To do so in the first place training and development. The most unfortunate stages of my career - it's a time when I did not study and did not develop.
9. The biggest risk of his career - not to risk it all
The first female US Navy Admiral Grace Hopper once said, "A ship in harbor is safe, but the ships do not build for that."
Success often depends on the willingness to take risks, learn and move forward.
10. Know how to replace the hard work
Tireless hard work! No other way to succeed. Add to this a little bit patience and perseverance, steeled in the fire of life's difficulties and get the power of the spirit.
11. Leave Policies
Do your job as best as possible, using all of their abilities, and policies leave less capable. Yes, sometimes it helps someone move in his career. But there is a price. Consider whether you really need it.
12. Try to leave a legacy
During his career, I have achieved success in many positions. Because I always thought that will leave behind, how to influence others. Be sure to ask yourself these questions, being in a new position.
