Things you should know as a career woman
As a career woman, your topmost priority is achieving success in your chosen career and profession. However, there are things you must know to enable you achieve your career goals.
Here are the few things every career woman must know;
Your success will be created by your habits.
Everyone has habits, whether good or bad. Habits are an undeniably powerful part of life and several of these are activated every day.
Good habits are a fundamental part of the underlying behavioural psychology that shapes our lives to become successful in life. Almost everything we do daily is driven by our habits, yet some lack the knowledge of their capabilities.
As a career woman, it is required of you to have good habits as it is the only fuel that can drive you to success.
The most important asset you have as a professional is your reputation.
Your reputation is important because a good reputation is one of the most valuable things a professional can have. People’s willingness to recommend and support you in a company is driven by their perception of you.
In a big company, reputation is your biggest organizational asset in the time of crisis, your reputation can save you from the inevitable.
Having the right attitude is the key to getting the answers.
Having the right attitude is a better predictor of your success than your intellect. It’s the attitude that influences your actions and determines your destination.
The right attitude gets you good results. Smiles and handshakes are not enough to get you to your destination.
If you do not have the attitude to help others, without any greedy expectation in return then it is not the right attitude.
You don’t get to do things that matter when you are comfortable.
We all prefer to stay in our comfort zones and to resist change. However, to grow you’d have to leave your comfort zones. You have to go through periods of change and times of vulnerability.
The problem with this zone is that we get too comfortable and by this we get static. We don’t incorporate new learning. We mostly don’t get to do things that matter.
