Careers
In times like we are currently experiencing it’s easy to get scared about our futures… about what’s ahead for us. I would even argue that’s it’s even… necessary.
What do I mean by that?
Well, in good times things usually go our way, right? Even when we make mistakes, even when we get careless, even when we stray from the fundamentals that we know work. Here’s the thing, that behavior carried out over time can leave us vulnerable.
After a period of prosperity it’s really easy to believe we, as individuals, had more responsibility for our successes than anything else. The reality though is no one person is better than the market. Look around, did most people do well over the last 10 years? Say yes. In other words, a high tide raises all boats.
Well the tide is going out right now… and what is happening to the boats? Are they still raising or are they dropping?
Where is the opportunity? For every loser there is a winner. Where is the opportunity in this market?
Here it is.
If you haven’t kept your skills up or you are new to the business… Focus on these things:
People, we are entering a skills based market where those with more skills and more ability to deploy them… will win. And win more. In fact, the will likely come to dominate the market.
If you are a go-getter this market will make you excited. This is a market where you can set yourself up to win big.
Wait there’s more!
These are the times when you need a guide, a Yoda, a someone who’s “been there, done that” and can (even more important is… will) give you the guidance and direction you need.
You see there is little value learning the wrong lessons, or studying the wrong stuff, or practicing the wrong scripts. Does this make sense to you? Say yes.
There are a lot of coaching programs out there with terrific programs. Word of caution: watch out for false profits.
What do I mean by that?
Well, the market has been rocking for 12 years which means most coaches haven’t experienced this kind of shift before and therefore they will be learning right alongside of you.
You will need to know how to handle these issues:
These are some of the things you will need to master if you want to dominate this market and set yourself up for the boom that comes after it.
In sum. In sum.
A career is a collection of good years and tough years. Market expansions and market contractions. We are in a contraction phase.
That doesn’t mean you can’t prosper… you can. To do so though, you will have to do some things differently over the next 12 to 18 months.
Pay attention to this next line… it’s what this entire message is about…
If you are reading this post and it fires you up to act on it… then… you… are going to be fine! Better than fine! You are going to crush this market! And how great is that going to be?
You got this. Here we go. Let’s get it.
