Are you the kind of person who has big time boss goals? You want to be a badass professional? You imagine yourself having CEO/Founder and other big titles in the job of your dreams.
Well enough of the imaginations my friend, regardless of where you are now, here are a few tips to help you achieve your dreams, one day at a time.
1. Show up, and BE ON TIME!
Showing up at work is very important. Avoid being constantly absent. Avoid being late to work or meetings and giving flimsy excuses. It makes you come off as very unserious and you may not get ahead in your career. “Punctuality they say, is the soul of business”.
2. Put in the work
Yes, we are all about smart work these days, but hard work is still very relevant! You need to actually DO your job. Stop watching food videos or football reviews while at work. Find new ways to make yourself better at what you do. It is for your own benefit eventually.
3. Be reliable
Strive to be someone that people generally and your co-workers especially can trust to execute tasks and deliver when due. Be a performer! These are the real MVPs anywhere.
4. Deliver well
My professional motto goes.. “Excellent delivery is key”. Essentially it means, do your job and do it right.
5. Pick the right role models
Observe the path of those who are living your dreams currently. Read up on their stories, and learn from their journey. If you can, ask them to mentor you, and be ready yourself to put in the efforts required.
6. Be teachable
We are constantly learning and like they say, there’s always room for improvement. Never think you know it all. Know when to demonstrate your expertise and when to learn quietly.
This list is not exhaustive dear friend, you will learn more as you progress in your career.
Cheers to your success!
