We all have career aspirations to achieve; yet many of us do not hold ourselves accountable enough to build the right foundation to achieve our aspirations. for more info https://flyerjobs.in/

2.  Life is what happens to you while you are busy
making other plans. Simply put, when you
stop focusing on those things that matter most
to you and what you believe in - then you
allow life to pass you by. Do you strive to be
relevant as a leader, business owner or
entrepreneur - or do you allow the marketplace
and what others want you to be dictate your
career destiny?

3.  We all have career aspirations to achieve; yet many of
us do not hold ourselves accountable enough to build
the right foundation to achieve our aspirations.
 Accomplishing goals, whether personal or
professional, is often difficult. To begin with, you have
to commit to goal setting - which many people would
rather have others do for them. People may want to
improve their lives and careers but don’t always know
how to start the journey. Others are fortunate enough
to be awakened when least expected -- to discover the
gifts (unique talent) bestowed upon them. When you
experience the latter, it feels as if you have a secret that
you are reluctant to share because you believe that no
one will understand or appreciate the magnitude of
this defining moment.

4.  Unfortunately, we have a lot of talented people in the workplace
who - because they lack courage - have become jaded by others
that were envious, disrupted their goals, and never had their best
interests at heart. As a result, these people have stopped believing
in themselves and instead only listen and act upon what others
need from them - for the benefit of others rather than the
advancement of themselves. This explains:
 Why so many people would rather be accountable to do for others
- rather than think for themselves.
 Why leaders have become followers and have lost their identity in
the process.
 Why dreams are broken, momentum is easily lost, and progress
slows down.
 Why people are so skeptical and earning trust is so difficult.
 Why there is more animosity, remorse and anger in the
world….and so on.

5.  If you are leader, your responsibilities are to open doors and
create opportunities for those who have earned it. Stop
slowing down progress and allow individuality to take
flight. Let’s face it, the workplace and the marketplace are
telling us that it is becoming less about the business defining
the individual and much more about the individual defining
the business. What are you doing to allow others to discover
their gifts and reach their full potential?
 Opportunities are everywhere, but few have eyes to see
them.
 To assure that you not only see and seize previously unseen
opportunities - but also avoid the traps of complacency
along the way - here are eight ways to exceed your
aspirations throughout your career and life’s journey.

6.  The only one that stands in your way - is yourself.
Don’t ever second-guess your ability and
capabilities. Life is about confronting constant
disappointments. Not everyone will value you or
understand why they should. Rather than get
frustrated, take a moment to understand their
different perspectives. Write these down and
create a journal; perhaps you will find a common
thread over time as to why you are being
negatively judged. Appreciate feedback, whether
good or bad - and learn from it. But never let it
disrupt your focus, attitude and motivations.

7.  Most people become irrelevant in their careers because they listen to
those that don’t understand what makes them unique and give them
distinction. This is why it is incumbent upon you to take ownership of
your career by doing everything possible to outwork and outsmart
everyone else. This will require you to challenge the status quo and
become more mindful about whom you associate yourself with.
 Taking ownership requires action. The action you take in pursuit of being
relevant may often be met with failure, envy and misunderstanding of
your points of view. I’ve experienced many times throughout my career
that the best measurement of success in your pursuit of relevancy - is
when the marketplace moves in your favor. In other words, the
perspectives you share become valued - and you are welcomed into
ecosystems where what makes you relevant equals the demand you were
seeking to create.
 When seeking to be relevant, you will either create new marketplace
demand or you will latch onto a marketplace segment that is still
maturing. If you don’t experience either, you are off track. But never stop
believing in yourself and never ignore what the marketplace is telling
you.

8.  Get your hands dirty and learn to work harder than your
competitors so they can never outsmart your efforts. Be
courageous and take well-thought out chances. Allow risk to be
your best friend. Aspirations fade when people are tempted to
give-up and stop trying. It’s much like the person that has a new
year’s resolution to assume a healthier diet but can’t stay away
from the temptations of fast-food.
 Success isn’t easy. Being significant is even harder. To achieve
both, you need to stay focused and work harder to understand
everything about the goals and aspirations you seek to achieve.
You need to become a subject matter expert; to know your
competition; and to understand why people have failed in the past
with similar ambitions. If you do your research, you will know
everything you need to know to earn the credibility and respect
necessary to break down barriers of doubt - as you begin to build
bridges of hope and see opportunities previously unseen.

9.  Most people spend their lives battling the gulf between
assimilation and authenticity. They struggle with being
more of what others want them to be - rather than what they
seek to be themselves. Envy has the ability to cloud your
mind and make you question your own intentions. Don’t let
envy define your future or sway your aspirations.
 Dealing with envy is oftentimes a validation that you are on
the right path towards achieving your aspirations. It is an
indicator that you are evolving - and as such you will be
confronted by people who are not.
 As you begin to build momentum, you will know who has
your back and your best interests at heart. When you detect
envy, navigate around it so it doesn’t become a distraction.
The key is to remove yourself from it quickly before it
clouds your decisions and slows your progress down.

10.  Stay away from leeches and loafers (the envious ones) and
learn to gravitate to the leaders and lifters (those who
genuinely have your back). I’ve learned that in business and
in life that you can’t go at success alone. It’s impossible. You
have to surround yourself with people that have your best
interests at heart. For they are the ones that will be the most
objective about telling you the truth and guiding you in the
right direction.
 The types of relationships you have are indicative of your
level of success. If you associate yourself with those that pull
you down, rather than lift you up - you will find it difficult
to evolve and achieve your aspirations. In the end, it’s all
about people and you must know yourself well enough to
be a good judge of character - to make the right decisions
between the relationships you choose to invest in long term
and those that don’t add any real value.

11.  To exceed your aspirations, you may have to choose
unconventional ways to get to your desired end game. I am not
referring to unethical acts - but rather the ability to connect what
appears to be unrelated into a well thought-out cohesive plan.
 For example, how many times have you dealt with long-standing
employees that are so set in their ways that it makes it difficult to
introduce new ideas and ideals? These days, quite frequently!
These are the types of people that don’t value differences and are
against new ways of thinking. They are comfortable doing things
the way they’ve been done for years and maintaining the status
quo.
 Instead, embrace diversity of thought and be a constructive
disruptor. Don’t allow people to confuse diversity of thought as a
form of disorganized thinking. It is only disorganized to those that
have grown complacent and lack courage to challenge the status
quo. You can’t be aspirational without being a constructive
disruptor.

12.  How you respond when faced with adversity is what defines your
ability to achieve your career aspirations. Adversity is very big
when it is all you can see. But it is very small when in the presence
of all else that surrounds you. The key to overcoming adverse
circumstances is a matter of focus. Zoom in on it and you will see
no opportunity. Zoom out and you will see it in the full context of
all else that surrounds you - and many opportunities previously
unseen will come into view.
 Adversity is a matter of perspective. It’s about tapping your
wisdom (knowing what to do with the insights and knowledge
that you have) to make the right decisions, keep the right attitude,
and deal with complex circumstances and diversity of thought.
 Successful people have mastered the ability to think on their feet
by allowing their wisdom to prevail during times of adversity.

13.  Don’t ever allow the ignorance of others to misguide you - or assume that someone who
has an important title or works for a large company has all of the answers. Oftentimes
they know a lot less than you might think.
 For example, think of those who tout their accomplishments and act with a sense of
entitlement - as if they made the investments with their own money, assumed all of the
risk, and did all of the thinking that led to a particular success story. I’ve learned that
many executives have artificial power that is being lent to them by the organization (or
brand) they serve. The position and role they assume has the power, not necessarily the
person occupying it.
 With this in mind, never stop testing your ideas and ideals - or start letting other
people’s ignorance get in the way of achieving and exceeding your career aspirations.
 I am absolutely convinced that everyone has the ability to be good - if not great at
something. But I am equally certain that most people are thrown off-course and lack the
courage to get back on track and define the course that will enable them to strengthen
the belief, self-trust and potential in themselves. Every successful person has had to
make a choice to be courageous. And every courageous person opens themselves up to
the opportunity to exceed their goals and aspirations - by not only being successful, but
significant.
