4 Things to Consider When Choosing the Right Career Path

1. Purpose

Most people confuse purpose and passion, but purpose is the philosophical idea of why you are on this earth, what you are here for and what you are intended to do.
A less-overwhelming way to look at this is to ask yourself what your “who” is. Your “who” is essentially what drives you, defines you as a person and makes you tick.
My “who” is being a supporter. Nothing makes me happier or gives me more fulfillment than supporting someone else, however they need it.

2. Passion

Passion takes the idea of purpose one step further. Essentially, it's what gets your juices flowing. What excites you? What gets your heart beating fast? What are you willing to sacrifice for?
On my end, I love seeing women be successful in their careers, as well as watching them continue to rise up in the ranks around the globe.

3. Gifts

What skills, experiences and unique offerings do you have or want to have? What can you physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually offer to the world around you?
I am gifted in being able to see themes and break down information in a way that it can be used to tell a compelling story. I see people’s gifts, strengths and offerings (sometimes before they do) through my abilities of being a great listener, having strong empathy and intuition and being able to translate ideas and themes into simple, sticky messages that resonate.

4. Motivation

What keeps you going, even when times are tough? What keeps your internal “lights on?" People tend to be promotion- or prevention-focused when it comes to motivation -- meaning you are either goal-oriented and motivated to reach new heights (promotion) or interested in security and protecting the things you’ve worked hard to get (prevention).
Promotion people are typically fast-paced, and they like a challenging or changing environment and trying new things to grow and evolve. Prevention people are more analytical and like to know the details before taking action, in order to avoid potential risk. They also take great pride in the quality of their work and recognition of their expertise. No one is completely one way or the other, but knowing what your main motivation is can be extremely helpful when considering careers.

Top 7 Ways To Hold On To Your Dreams

-
By:   Deborah Brown Have you given up on your dreams? Would you like to get them back? Many of us give up on our dreams. Often our dreams slip away without our even realizing it. Our dreams are who we are. They give us an incentive to get out of bed everyday. They are the reason we were born, and our destiny to fulfill while we are here. They are within your grasp. And yes, they can come true. It's up to you to decide if they will. What can you do if you've given up on your dreams? Follow these easy steps: Remember you are worth it.

Once you know how important living your dreams is to your health and mental well being, then yo...

4 Ways to Stop Sabotaging Your Success

1. Break the multitasking habit. I have to confess that I’m a work-in-progress when it comes to realizing that multitasking is not my friend. I knew I had a serious problem when one day I looked up and realized that I had a notebook, laptop, and iPhone all in front of me, and I was trying to do something different on each of them. Needless to say, I wasn’t very productive and ended up with a bunch of partially finished things—not one thing actually completed. No matter how skilled you think you are at dividing your attention, you really are more effective when you focus. Don’t jump ahead or try to do it all at once in an effort to save time. You’ll feel more accomplished, building the momentum you need to go onto the next task if you complete just one task at a time. 2. Catch some real ZZZs. Forget what you heard about sleep-deprived super-successful people. Getting no sleep and working through the night is overrated—the all-nighter, “I-only-need-four-hours-of-sleep” bit ...

Success Secrets – The Importance of Having a Vision

-
Image
A vision is a picture or idea you have in your mind of yourself, your business, or anything this is going to happen. A clear vision helps you pursue dreams and achieve goals; an idea of the future, a strong wish. A vision that is clear will open your mind to the endless possibilities of the future. A vision will help you to overcome obstacles in the way and helps you hold on when times are tough. A vision that is well defined helps you to focus and create a purpose that becomes your measurement for your success.  If you do not have a vision of who you want to be, how you want to succeed or what you want out of life, you begin to lack drive and your life becomes just an order of events. A strong and current vision connects with your passions and greatest potentials. Regardless of what is going on in the world or challenges that present themselves, a vision helps you know what and why you are doing the things you are doing. Having a vision is most important in the ...
