| 4 Clear Strategies at Work with Positive Results |
And in today's article, we will talk about a powerful motivational quote that can help you get through tough times at work. It is a powerful quote from Mahatma Gandhi “The future depends on what you do today”.
This quote is powerful because it says you are capable of becoming great. All you need to do is make positive decisions today that can help shape your future. And that is what we are going to talk about.
Four (4) clear strategies will help you succeed at work.
Stay Away from Toxic People
There is always that one person who behaves like a tumor in the office. Bringing spirits down makes them happy, but they are also very good at pretending like a concerned friend. One such example, especially if you are new to an organization, is that one person who will say it is ok to file for sick leave even if you are not sick. It is a piece of bad advice and bad for your career.
You need to find these people, and you need to stay away from them. They may seem harmless at first, but their persistence can corrupt your positive outlook on your job. And as an employee, you should never run out of positivity if you want to move up.
Stop Being Passive, and Be Active
Get out of your comfort zone and take the bull by the horns. It is tough to get out of your comfort zone at first. But career growth needs constant motion and the development of new skills. And if you stay in one place, you will die or lose every opportunity to create a bright future.
Taking challenges and contributing more of what is needed, or being active, can take you from level zero to level hundred the fastest. Staying active at the workplace makes you utilize your skills. And the more you use them, the quicker you become a master at them. This simple action not only increases your maturity at a technical level but also creates an impact on your behavior. Taking on challenges will wire your personality as a problem solver, and problem-solvers are high-value employees.
Start your day Early
Train yourself not to waste time and start your day early. It means getting out of bed early with no oversleeping. If you wake up late, you are intentionally taking away the opportunity to get ahead of the race. And when you wake up late, you would lose precious moments to meditate, stretch your brain, and organize daily tasks, or lose the opportunity to prepare for your work.
It is best to start your day at work with a steady energetic rhythm, not with stress and panic.
Organizing your tasks before working gives clear guidance on what you need to accomplish for the day. Focus on work that impacts your career and not just attacking whatever pops in front of your table.
And most importantly, starting your day early also conditions your mind with the value of time. Time is an essential resource on earth that you should not waste. And to secure your success means practice effectively spending every second.
A little investment in your behavior that has compounding gains in the future.
Be Open to Learning new Ideas
What you learned ten (10) years ago loses value each passing day. Never create an excuse inside your head not to sharpen your saw. Sharpening your saw means becoming an expert in what you do and staying an expert. Becoming an expert is difficult, but staying as an expert is harder. It requires complete dedication to your art and a whole lot of learning.
Learning new ideas not only sharpens your saw but also widens your network. And as the saying goes, your network is your net worth. An expanded social network today will clear the path for more opportunities in the future. Learning new skills also means making new friends. And it is probably the first and best investment you should start today. Learn a new skill, meet new friends, and widen your network.
The Future Depends on what you do Today
And this is very true. And the sooner you realize this, the sooner you can write down personal development goals for your future. Using personal development goals as the guiding compass is more sustainable than looking at the outcomes. And an example, personal development is learning a new skill, and the outcome is making more money online. If you use money for your goal, it is easier to get disappointed - or even get lost in your journey.
Be determined to invest in yourself first, and do not focus on material rewards. Though results may not appear immediately, investing in personal development today will create a brighter future for you.
