If you want to develop your skills and advance in your career, you have to make an effort. Follow these steps to keep moving forward:
• Focus on your priorities. Identify critical issues you face and the most important immediate goals you want to achieve.
• Take action every day to advance your immediate goals. No matter how small the action is, do something every single day.
• Have a written plan. This should give you a blueprint for achieving your immediate goals. The plan may change and that’s OK. Decide which kind of plan would work best—a six-month plan, a weekly plan, a one-year plan, and so on.
• Reflect on your accomplishments. Every six weeks or so, sit back and spend a few minutes going over what you have accomplished—and what didn’t work out for you.
• Seek feedback and advice from others. Just be sure that the people with whom you speak with are truly on your side and don’t have a hidden agenda that might taint the advice they give.
• Stretch yourself. Work with people whose talents are more developed than yours—rather than surrounding yourself with lesser people just to make yourself feel good.
• Study diligently. Whatever you do, make sure you are good at it. Study your organization and industry as well so you know both inside and out.
• Reward yourself for small victories. Buy a book you’ve wanted, go a dinner in a nice restaurant, or see a play when you achieve a significant goal.
