Happy New Month - Career Success Tips

 

     Hi Friends,

    Welcome to the Month of September

Today, I wish to share these few tips on how we can stay focused as we journey towards career success.  

1. Take time to discover what you are good at and pursue it. Try and understand your strengths and weaknesses. This will help you align your goals towards those things you can do passionately and comfortably.

2. As you begin your career, do not restrict yourself to a particular area of interest, endeavor to spread your skills. In that way, you can easily identify areas where your core competence lies.

3. Keep an open mind and explore all options when starting your career. This will help you make the right decisions on which career too settle for.

4. For whatever career you settle for, shape it and ensure you build your brand. Every organization seeks to employ someone that will add value and you can only be a person of value when you have striven to attain excellence in your choice career.

Power of self discovery cont'd

Yesterday, I promised to discuss on how we can achieve self-discovery.

So let us look at some tips on how to achieve this;

         
                                              

·     Self-discovery starts with self-assessment (the process of looking at oneself in order to assess aspects that are important to one's identity)

 ·    Looking closely to find out one’s passion, strengths, abilities, skills, creative components and weaknesses

·     Our success in life is often tied to what we can do with our voice, our hands, our creative mind etc. We can never uncover any of these if we do not take a keen look at ourselves.

The Power of Self Discovery

One can only live a fulfilled life when intense effort is made towards discovering oneself albeit the distractions of life.

• Most times we feel weak and vulnerable when life challenges stare us in the face; this is because we lack a perfect knowledge of whom we are or the potentials inherent in us. This often paves way for stress and anxiety. 

• Some have become victims of the opinion of others hence they try to shape their life to suit these descriptions/perceptions. 

• The result of this is that they loose track of whom they really are.

• Self awareness and discovery enables us to understand our unique traits and abilities.

• How then do we achieve self discovery?........To be continued.

The Mindset

The mind always seeks to learn. A well structured mind hungers for something new each day and can never settle for mediocrity. Feed your mind each day with positive ideas and information

Power of Sacrifice

The amount of sacrifice you make to succeed determines the height you will attain in the ladder of success. But remember that God has a unique role to play in all you do.
