FIND YOUR PASSION
To be successful, it is important to define what you want in life. Consider reading books or taking classes about different subjects until you find something that interests you. Finding an area you are passionate about helps you enjoy the steps you take towards achieving your goals. See if there are potential career opportunities in your passion to see if it is something you want to pursue. Set both short- and long-term goals and take action every day toward these.
LEARN FOM YOUR MISTAKES
This is completely okay. Don’t get consumed with mistakes, shortcomings and failures of yesterday. Don’t view failure as the bad thing in life. It is far worse to never try something at all than it is to try something and fail at it. Successful people fail. They just get back up and try again. They persevere. They display grit.
STEP OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE
Say yes a whole lot more and do something different, something frightening and something that challenges you like you’ve never been challenged before. If you need to get yet another accomplishment in order to achieve your career goals, get it, but don’t get caught up spending all your time on accomplishments while neglecting career success. Remember, accomplishment is not synonymous with success.
BUILD YOURSELF A SUPPORT SYSTEM
Surround yourself with fulfilled people who have successful careers. Ask them about their journeys, their struggles and the unique paths. You will learn so much about how different this looks for different people. There is no “right” way; there is your way, and talking with others will help you appreciate that more. When you start taking more risks to achieve the career success you want, your network will help you to persevere.
