✨DEFINE WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE TO YOU✨
Over the past couple of weeks I have had the pleasure of speaking with senior staff reporter at Builtin, Brian Nordli, about Taking Control of Your Professional Success by Setting Career Goals. Brian’s article is a great read and it has some very positive advice to assist anyone looking to achieve their fullest potential. My advice is to firstly understand what success means to you before setting your targets and goals…thank you Brian!
✨DEFINE WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE TO YOU✨
Where do you see yourself five or 10 years from now?
This is the question that lies at the heart of the goal-setting process, and it can be challenging to answer. The easy route is to pick a role that’s above you on the established career ladder. But chasing promotions or a specific salary because that’s what others do will only lead to hollow achievements.
To set an effective career goal, you have to first ask yourself: “What does success look like to you?,” said Oliver Rolfe, author of two life and wellness books and founder of the financial executive search firm Spartan International Group. The worst thing you can do is set a career goal based on a company career development chart without reflecting on whether that’s what you really want.
“Understanding what success means to you is probably one of the most important things you can do before setting goals.”
“Success can mean financial success, it can mean promotions, it can mean positions of power or achievements. There are so many different facets you can bring into it,” Rolfe said. “Understanding what success means to you is probably one of the most important things you can do before setting goals.”
To that end, a career goal doesn’t always have to be an external indicator of success like obtaining a specific job title or making a six-figure salary. For some people, success may be more internal, like being in a role where they can give back or being at a job that they love.
