Inside your mind lives two voices – one who wants you to play it safe and another who wants you to go for it. The key to moving forward is your ability to balance the protective voice with the adventurous one. Do this correctly and you will keep moving forward in your career.
Here are 3 steps to take RIGHT NOW to become a successful, forward-thinking professional:
- Choose To Be Successful. Whatever dream you want to pursue, you have to choose it first. Recognize that you have a choice in all things, and choose the option that feels the most like success…then pour every ounce of energy you have into it.
- Take Bold Action. Just go. Start running. Move boldly in the direction of your dreams, whatever that means to you. Stop preparing…just start, and you can course-correct along the way.
- Turn A Deaf Ear to Discouragement. Family and friends are great at providing you with unneeded, discouraging advice. They have many reasons why your vision is foolish, and they will rattle off a list of your shortcomings if you let them. Don’t let them. Don’t listen. Stay focused on your goal.
You are capable of achieving massive career success. In order to do so, though, you must overpower your inner critic and keep moving forward. I promise, the rewards far outweigh the risks.
