Making your career dream a reality – Tip 3 of 10
We are capable of more than we imagine, so here is this week’s tip that you can take to significantly improve the probability of your career success and happiness.
Tip 3 of 10: Believing in Yourself
How you think and feel about yourself is central to the enjoyment of your work. There is a fundamental cause-and-effect link between: self-confidence, self-belief, self-worth and the achievement of outstanding career success, fulfilment of true potential, happiness and contentment.
Rationale
- Limitation is self-imposed – perhaps as a result of early life experiences.
- The more self-limitation is reduced, the more you will achieve.
- The first step is to recognise these limitations (not easy on your own).
- Fear is the major factor, which blocks your path to achievement
Learn how to recognise fear – then learn how you can manage it and channel it to open up the path to satisfaction and fulfilment.
Achievers
- There are high achievers and under achievers.
- High achievers do not recognise failure. They see ‘failure’ simply as not achieving the desired result and an opportunity to try a different way.
- High achievers see mistakes simply as learning experiences that they can benefit from allowing them to move on quicker.
Bonus Tip – A forward-looking approach is everything – never look back, except to benchmark, in order to learn from your experiences.
So, making that dream career become a reality might not be as daunting as you first thought and may not require anything more than a fresh perspective and way of looking at it. It sounds simple and it is, it’s just not always easy, especially when trying to do it alone.
