Whatever you call it, we all have career missteps. Situations where we simply try to move forward but then move to the side or even take a step back away from our goal. This week we’re sharing amazing tips to dust yourself off and get right back in the saddle again.
Remember that the future holds opportunities that will be amazing and awesome. Continue to believe in yourself and your dream. Here are a few of our best tips to keep you motivated along the way:
1. Think about what or who motivates or inspires you – then spend more time doing that thing or being with that person/people at least once a month.
2. YOU have the power to make changes and take risks…one step at a time!
3. A great way to get over your fear of networking is by taking baby steps. Even if you are not comfortable initiating conversations – you can practice your “connection” skills to let yourself engage in talking with people who try to strike up a conversation with you.
4. Measure success by hours. We often try to meet work deadlines or personal goals, but some days these things just don’t go as we planned. When you need a boost - pick ONE hour in the day that celebrates what went well and reflect on what you did that was awesome.
5. Make today the day you restart your life and career in a big way. Little shifts can make big shifts and big shifts create real change.
6. Tell yourself that failure is just part of the process. Life is about progress, not about perfection.
7. What words would you use to describe yourself? #Positivity #self
This week remind yourself you are on a unique journey and that it’s not about reaching one single destination. -- “Life is a journey, not a destination. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
