Well meaning friends and family often caution us not to go after what we want or settle for the first position that comes along. While a sensible, conservative approach is sometimes exactly what the situation calls for, more often it takes bold action to make our career dreams come true. Persistent follow through, taking on more responsibility at work networking and development classes are usually what makes a difference in the workplace do not let the people in your life discourage your aspirations. Surround yourself with people who act as cheerleaders for your goals. Not people who dampen your enthusiasm for growth.
Colleague’s advice on job search can be valuable. Lots of times they have been there, done that and can help draw a road map we can follow to increase our visibility on the job or land a new position. But beware of colleagues who may have an ulterior motive. If you sense for any reason co-workers are not 100% in your corner, don’t continue to allow their negativity to play a role in your career development plans.
Surround yourself with positive influences. The media you consume, people you meet socially, work mates you confide in should all mirror your positivity. Increase your positive vibrations and positive results will follow. Try it.
