How To Get To The Top In Your Career by VirtueDigest: 1:37pm On Sep 06, 2016
While for some, making definite exponential progress in their careers may be an assiduous task, it doesn’t have to be the one thing that defines your journey to the peak of your career. There are many who see career success as a destination, but what they need to begin to understand is that the journey in itself can be full of many successes. There are however, a few things you need to critically look into if you are to enjoy this type of success in your career.



Know your passion

It is very difficult to be outstanding in an endeavour or field you are struggling with or that you hate. This is because doing that thing does not ignite your passion, and once there is no passion; there is no energy or drive to push you to do your best. It is therefore important to know what you are passionate about because that is where you will likely thrive. Irrespective of people’s opinions or reactions find your passion and pursue it.



Be daring

It is very easy to settle for the familiar and stay in a routine or in the comfort of job security and regular payment. While job security is good, this may however be a hindrance to career growth. It is better to get out into the ‘unknown’ rather than stay in a cycle or comfort zone that doesn’t guarantee a bright future; don’t let temporary comfort or present perks keep you from developing your career. Try out something new, don’t be afraid of taking risks; don’t be afraid of quitting your nice job to go for one that will afford you better experience, career exposure, growth and fulfilment.

Tap into your unique talents and skills

You need to discover your natural talents and skills; these are things you are naturally gifted at and can do without struggling. When you know them you can plough your energy and resources into them to excel in life. For example, you may be someone that is naturally good with numbers or figures that may be an indication that you will make a good accountant.

Get resources

Dedicate time, at least 30 minutes daily, to learning new things about your career. Get materials and resources to educate you about the career path you are towing. You will be amazed at how much improvement you will make if you do this for a month. Also, get resources to motivate and inspire you.

Take it step by step

Climbing up a hill requires you take a step at a time, you can hardly run up a mountain. The same way, getting to the peak of your career requires process, you won’t get there overnight, but with diligence and patience you will surely get there. As you apply yourself to building your career with hard-work, you will surely get to the top.

I don't envy people who are on top of the ladder, remember someone owns that ladder. I channel my energy into owning a ladder.

See let's call a spade by its Nigerian name , IMHO there are 3 important ways :
> Work hard. Bible says " do you see a hardworking and diligent man? He would stand before kings and not ordinary men "
Henry Longfellow said : "The heights by which great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept were toiling upwards in the night. "
> God's Favour : Bible says "except the Lord builds the house, the builder labours invain ".
> Connection : I don't need to quote Bible for this one, everyone is a living witness grin
Happy Sunday all

Good point! I think God owns us so we don't choose or make suggestions or recommendations, we just simply follow His commands! We have been bought at a price!
