In all situation, please use your brain. Do not be deceived. Understand your environment and have your next move deep in your heart.

Finally, make sure that you are in good books of your supervisor, especially, if you are working in Nigeria or else, na OYO - Be wise o !

Your supervisor can make or mar your career and recovering back could be depressing. People change job not because they hate their jobs or the company, it is because they hate their bosses.

with my over 8yrs experience working in a business I have found that the one thing that any person can have is to have intelligent people and people that put their hearts into the business they do, putting a round peg in a round hole is the key, having a team that u have a good working relationship with is everything, if u av the wrong people in ur business, they make u frustrated, and prone to failure

TheFinance101:
Career success means different things to different people, but the common factor required is growth. To achieve this, you need to know what to do to get from where you are to where you want to be personally and career-wise. We’re here this week with 7 tips for building a successful career:

1. Know your strengths
Building a successful career begins with evaluating your traits to see what field you would best fit. There’s nothing better than going into a career in line with your natural abilities.

Identifying your core strengths and weaknesses also helps you flow naturally in whatever you do and this improves your chances of career success.

2. Set SMART personal goals towards growth
Once you’ve identified your strengths and a potential field you’d want to go into, the next step would be to set specific, measurable and achievable goals for your career growth. You must have a growth mindset and a “can-do” mentality.

Setting SMART goals for your career helps you stay focused on your path to career success and makes it easy to track your progress per time to determine your next steps.

3. Hard work is key
A wise man once said, “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”. In other words, to be successful at anything, you must be ready to put in the work.

The greatest business empires are built on years of hard work, perseverance and persistence. To build a successful career, you must be prepared to work hard and not give up even in the face of disappointment.

4. Find a mentor
As much as you should work hard, we don’t want you wasting your efforts. It is wise to learn from those ahead of you who are leading industry experts. In other words, you need a mentor.

Even though you may not have direct access to speak to these people, you can always learn from their books, online courses, and social media platforms. You’ll learn useful tips and avoid costly mistakes while building your career.

5. Surround yourself with the right people
Ever heard “Your network is your net worth”? Then you get the idea. To build a successful career, you must surround yourself with like-minded people who can partner with you and help you.

It helps to attend seminars and events to bring you around such people. Note that you shouldn’t be after people for what you can get from them; make sure you also have value to offer them.

6. Manage your time wisely
Effective time management is crucial to career success. Create an efficient daily routine that enables you to focus on pressing tasks but remember there has to be a balance.

Your daily routine should also allocate time for rest, family and other personal activities to prevent burnout and stress. Avoid wasting time on tasks that do not bring you closer to your goals.

7. Regularly review your progress
Don’t just set SMART goals and forget about them; make sure that you periodically track your goals and evaluate your progress. Sometimes, you might discover a strategy that doesn’t work so well or need to change your targets, having reached the previous one.

Whatever be the case, make sure to keep raising the bar and setting higher standards for yourself and your career.

Final Thoughts
Remember that building a successful career takes time, diligence and perseverance. You might make mistakes along the way, but don’t give up. Be sure to keep learning from your mistakes and keep a positive mindset. We’re sure these tips will set you on the right path to career success. Feel free to share any others you have in the comments!
