For many of us 2014 will be the year we make big changes. Whether it comes to breaking old habits or finding new career paths, change is on the horizon. But what if you’re stuck in a job you hate and you just can’t seem to see that light at the end of the tunnel? First of all, don’t worry – you’re time to shine will come! But, also let’s find a way to focus on the good – and discover all the reasons why your current job will eventually lead you to the place you’ll call success.
Focusing on the Right Now: 5 Tips
1. The routine is good. Getting up every day and heading to work is good for you – it keeps you healthy and on track. Use your free time on your days off to explore other opportunities.
2. You’re applying the skills you have and learning new skills daily. Keeping your brain working and learning new skills means you can be agile in a challenging business environment and that’s huge!
3. You’re networking and making new connections every day. From customer service to desk jobs – your day is probably filled with lots of people. One of these relationships could be just the connection you’ll need down the road.
4. The career of your dreams could be closer than you think. Sometimes jobs that are a perfect fit are right in front of our noses. Keep showing off your great talents – someone in your current company just may pick up on that.
5. You have a job! (THIS is a good thing) Many people are unemployed right now and in this tough economy just having financial security is huge. Cherish that.
How about you – do you have bigger career dreams you’re trying to meet? What are the steps you’re taking to achieve those goals?
