My last blog was about moving from indecision to action. Perhaps it's time for you to put these ideas to the test.
Are you ready for the change you've pondered for the past year? If so, then it's essential for you to clarify what you want: A new job with the same employer? A different company? A totally new career path that might require further education? Want to identify your options and then decide what to do?
No matter what your goal is, you can build momentum by taking one step at a time. Since you are aware of the ripple effect, be careful not to underestimate the importance of any effort you make.
Here are a few tips that might help you stay on track with your career goal for the New Year:
• Stay in the present about what steps to take. If you start to feel overwhelmed, you are probably too far ahead in the process than you need to be.
• Identify a step that is possible to achieve within two weeks. Set a time by which you will have completed it.
• Tell a trusted friend or relative about your goal and the steps and ask them to help you stay accountable to them.
• Continue the process, one step at a time, until you achieve the results you want.
Does this sound too simple? Perhaps you expect the process of making a career change to be difficult or complicated. If that's true, you can imagine how your assumptions are influencing your behavior.
What if your plan fell into place easily as you moved forward with your steps? Why not try these tips for two months? I'd love to hear about your results.
