Transform my life

 

Nowadays, just doing your job is not enough. An opportunity for advancement is far from certain, as companies always try to get by with fewer employees and to be more competitive. To get to the top, Transform my life you have to take the reins of your career in your own hands.

 

As I wrote in the article “ I live MY life ”, it is important to emphasize in this article how important it is in life to take the initiative. Unfortunately, many people wait every day for happiness to fall into their lap. But unfortunately that only happens in fairy tales. In real life: "If you want something, you have to get it!"

 

Here are ten ways to create Transform my career opportunities for yourself: 

 

Develop your own vision

The really big things in life always start with a vision. A vision begins as a "feeling" for what you want to do with your life. At first, it might just be a faint impression, fleeting image, or imagination based on the life of someone you admire. Wherever your inspiration comes from, visions are a start. Write them down on paper - a sketch, a note, or maybe even a story.

 

Turn your vision into goals

What has to happen for your vision to become a reality one day? It's simple: write down five or six goals that will make them come true. With this list, you won't be limited to just one course forever. Your vision, as well as your goals, are very likely to change and evolve once you pay more attention to them. Your vision and your life are moving goals, and today that is of the utmost importance to survival. Adaptability is much more likely to lead to success than stubbornness.

 

Develop a vision for your company

If your employer already has a company vision and it's available, then take a close look at it. Does it align with your vision and the path you want to go? Is it in line with company policy and practice? Is the company vision very different from the one you have planned for your career? Compare your and the company's future vision. Can you work in this company and achieve your goals? If not, your long-term plan needs to be to make other arrangements outside of the company. Otherwise points 4 to 10 will not work 100%.

 

Make high demands on yourself

The words "to yourself" are crucial here. So many people adjust their own requirements to others or to their work environment. If you think your employer is fair, you make high demands on yourself. However, if the employer appears stingy, greedy or unfair to you, then lower your requirements because you think: "The employer doesn't deserve a better job from me."

 

If you have fallen into this trap, please remember that you are only harming yourself. Doing less than your best means that your "best" will deteriorate until you can no longer distinguish mediocrity from excellence. The "content" of your requirements is up to you.

 

Here are a few examples you might want to consider: “Always be there ten minutes before you start work”, “Only do accurate, high quality work”, “Treat everyone with respect (emphasis on everyone!)”, “Act consciously, but behave unobtrusively ”,“ Only distribute constructive criticism ”. The possibilities are endless, but the point is that in the end you will be recognized by the standards you adhere to, not the ones you just speak of.

 

Deepen your knowledge of your industry and your company

The more you know about the industry, the market and the work environment, the better prepared you will be to make smart professional decisions. The basic knowledge you develop is like a library that you can refer to again and again when you are confronted with important decisions.
