Don’t gamble on your success!

Scenario:

There are two people of equal skillset with similar career aspirations. One of them is well on route to achieving their career goals the other isn’t.  

How can you relate to this scenario?

• Have you ever been for a job interview and got down to the last two?
• Attended trials for a sports team or club?
• Auditioned for a role in a production or position in an orchestra?

When skillset and career history puts you on level pegging with others how can you separate yourself to lead the way?

If you are really serious about progressing in your career or with your personal goals then take a look at the following 6 Awesome Actions and give them a go!

1. Up your game

Have a higher expectation of yourself than anyone else. Over deliver in standards, performance and interaction. Look to support others and be true to who you are. When you get to the top be proud of the route you took to get there.

2. Invest in yourself.

When was the last time you updated your skills or committed to a coach? Think of how much the world has changed since you left school/university. In order to keep up with or ahead of the game it is crucial to update and learn new skills.

Get yourself a business coach! When we want to change our physical appearance we seek support from fitness professionals and if we want to enhance our professional status a career coach really can make all the difference.

3. Know what you want.

Goal setting really is a big deal. Without a goal we tick over and may get lucky. Take time out to think about what you want and make a commitment to it by writing it down with an achievement date.

Be committed to your goal. ‘Sort of’ ‘kind a’ ‘potentially’ or ‘some day’ simply won’t cut it. When you have a goal flick the switch to ‘I am coming to get you!’ ‘Steam train it’ “I need to’ ‘I want this’ ‘I am serious’

4. What is your motivational juice?

Once you have identified what you NEED it is super important to know WHY you NEED it in your life.   This will keep the commitment tank powered. This is particularly helpful on long-term goals.

5. Create an installation guide.

You know WHAT you want and WHY you need it. The next stage is to create your installation guide.

• What do you need to do on a daily – weekly – monthly basis?
• What research, testing and actions need to be applied?
• What behaviours need adapting/adopting?
• How do you check in to ensure you are on point?

Start…move forward towards your goal and do it today.

6. Find Role Models

This is such an under utilised resource especially in this day and age. Technology has given us access to a world of information and resources. Finding role models or models of excellence in what you want to achieve can accelerate your progress.

The majority of you may be fully aware of the 6 Awesome Actions but how many of you actually live by them?

If you want to get ahead in life be prepared to work for it.  Time to flick the switch and DO THIS…..
