5 Little BIG Things That Will Super Charge Your Career

If you’re not happy with the progression you are making in your career, follow these 5 steps that will power you forward.

1. Define the position you want in 24 months. Sales Director? VP Marketing? Call Center Manager?Having a target will focus your efforts in developing your Career Action Plan. No Target = Diffused Effort, and a low success rate.

2. Find a Mentor. EVERYONE needs advice and help Pick one who is skilled in your Target Position.

3. Identify the Foxes that are the key decision-makers in your next career move. Treat them as your target market. Get to know each one of them and what makes them great. Make sure they know YOU.

4. Make a list of THREE things you need to do over the next 90 days to make you more qualified for your Target Position. Do them!

5. Create your ONLY Statement and work it every minute of every day. ONLY is how to define your uniqueness among The Herd of people competing for scarce jobs. “I am the ONLY one that…” will serve you well in an environment where generics run. If you can’t create an ONLY, you won’t get noticed and your career goals will likely elude you.

Try these. TODAY. I guarantee they WILL make a difference.
