7 Top Tips For a Successful Career
If you’re just starting out in a new career or wondering how to ensure you have a successful one, then join Jeannette today as she discusses her top 7 tips to ensure you have a successful career. Today, she looks at why it is important to have self-belief and understand that you deserve every opportunity you have been given, how loving what you do will make it feel as if you’re not even working, and how failing is not really a failure at all, it is just a learning process.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Believe in yourself. Very often, the imposter syndrome can kick in where perhaps you don’t feel good enough or feel you don’t deserve a seat at the table, which is all nonsense, because you absolutely do deserve every opportunity that life throws at you.
- Be really clear on your vision and your purpose for what you want to achieve. If you know where you’re heading, it is much easier to get there, you will get there faster and with a lot less heartache along the way.
- Work hard, and work smart. You have to put the effort in, you have to take action, nothing happens for nothing. Having a strong work ethic is important but working smart is even more important. If you don't take action, nothing will happen, things don’t happen miraculously.
- Surround yourself with the right people – people who will lift you up, support you, give you encouragement and advice but will also call you out if you’re kidding yourself or not doing enough. Whatever you do don’t let the naysayers put you off.
- Put yourself out there – build relationships, be yourself, be kind to others, don’t think about what’s in it for you, always try to do good by the other person. Treat other people as you’d like to be treated yourself.
- If you love what you do, you won’t feel like you’re working. The ability to be able to merge your passion with your profession is great. Try to ensure that you follow a passion and if you can do that then truly, you don’t feel like work is an arduous thing at all.
- Don’t be afraid to fail. You can't always win, but don’t be afraid to fail. Fear or failure, judgment and losing will really stop you. If you are always worried about what you are going to lose and not focusing on what we could gain, then sometimes we will never even try. Failure isn’t really a failure at all, it is all learning.
BEST MOMENTS
“Very often we don’t just pause for breath and think about the lessons we’re learning along the way and how we can be an even better version of ourselves if we actually did take stock a little bit more.”
“So often I will hear people say ‘I should have, I would have, I could have’ but they didn’t.”
“I’m a massive believer in the law of reciprocity, what goes around, comes around. I believe that if you’re kind to people and treat other people how you would like to be treated yourself then absolutely that will come back to you tenfold.”
