Smart career move - New Year Resolution 2009 (Part 2)

Few days ago, I have asked you guys to choose a priority for 2009 among

1. Wealth

2. Career & Work

3. Self Wellness or Religion

4. Education

5. Family

Well. It’s definitely easy to pick 1 priority, but it will never be easy to take action and act on your priority chosen.

For a quick post today. I will give a summary of how the priority that you’ve chosen should go along with your career plans next year. It’s a cycle.

1. Wealth + 2. Career & Work goes closely together. Your job is your wealth. If you are not in the sales line, nor you have any side line such as insurance or freelance, many consider themselves having a stagnant income, WHICH IS NOT TRUE. Why? Don’t expect your company to pay you extra if you don’t have anything extra for your company. For year 2009, I suggest you take up the courage and work out a few great projects for your company. Propose new ideas, let them see your dedication. You will see a way better increment next year!

I have a few friends who always have good increment every year. They are not those who sit and whine how cruel is their boss, or how bad is their office politics. If you want a change in your career situation, you should change how you think and how you act in your job.

3. Self wellness & religion - If you decide to pick this as your resolution 2009, congratulations! Finally you are into the next level of bringing yourself together, and see the miracle of how well being will bring abundance to your career. Care for others, help others to grow in their career will help you to grow yourself very much spiritually and emotionally. Propose to your management to take up some managerial rows such as training new juniors, new staffs. Use what you believe right to change the team, learn and experience.

4. Education - this one is really easy. In your Career 2009 plan, schedule yourself to go on a training that will make your grow in terms of your career. Either you can do it through the company trainings arrange to you or you pay your own expenses to go for a good training. Many that I’ve met always complaint that they are not as good as others, but what have been done to make themselves better? Literally nothing. Clear your busy schedule today, and go on a training! It’s better to reveal your intentions to your management, so that they are aware of your directions, and trust me, many managers will assist you in obtaining the training you want. At least, it is something we are practicing in JobsBroadway. =)

5. Family - Family is not restricted to just your husband or kids, might be your parents too! In year 2009 if you have decided to devote yourself to your family, you should be extra effective in your work. Family sometimes means you have to have more time spend together with them. Plan your work nicely, learn to work ahead of time, learn to expect; it will buy you precious time for your family.

When a priority is made, the only key to make sure your priority give abundance of returns is to TAKE ACTION.

Hope it brings some insight to you & motivate you to look forward for your coming year! I am already anticipating my next year!Trust me, which ever priority that you’ve chosen, and agree to work on it, you will be benefited with all five (Wealth, Career & Work, Education, Wellness & religion, AND family).
