Do you know that on average, we stick to our New Year’s resolutions for just three days, and most people give up on them by January 3rd!!!!
Isn’t it sad that in our ever-changing and crazy-fast-paced economy, we usually know exactly what to do to have an amazing career, yet… we rarely do it?
Every week, I am meeting people who are disconnected from successful careers. And very often, it’s not their fault – they’ve just never been taught the right way to do it.
If you crave an exciting career move in 2015, here is a simple 4-step process that will help you follow through (and realize your dreams!) before end of this year.
1. Vision
It all starts with a vision. Do you see yourself as a successful executive, or entrepreneur, or leader, or all of the above? If you don’t yet, could you imagine yourself as a successful MBA student? Could you visualize receiving a letter of admission from your dream business school?
Or, how would you feel seeing a score of 720 when you finish your GMAT exam? You don’t need to come up with a vision for your entire career, just a few next steps.
If you need help coming up with a vision, or if you forgot how to DREAM BIG, get around other people that do this all the time! An excellent group to join is the Toronto Power Group. If you seriously want to make 2015 your best year yet, you may want to attend the TPG board-breaking event and experience the 7 Steps to a Fulfilling 2015 on January 7, 2015!
2. Belief
To achieve, you have to believe. If you see yourself as a successful leader, but don’t truly believe this is possible, you’ll sabotage your own success.
Do you believe you can get 700 on the GMAT? A high GMAT score can not only open the admission doors to top business schools, it could significantly increase your chances of getting hefty entrance scholarships.
And the best part? Anyone can beat the test! See our instructor Bobby explain why.
3. Support
How would life be if you had to make your own iPhone? Or if you had to fix your own car? Or generate your own electricity?
Yet when it comes to preparing for the GMAT, many of us are still trying to reinvent the wheel. The GMAT is a standardized test that measures standardized skills, in a standardized manner, using predictable patterns. Thousands of people before you have aced the GMAT, and thousands of people after you will. Success leaves clues. Learn from the best and you will dramatically increase your chances of admission to a top b-schools, and of getting significant entrance scholarships.
4. Action
If you have a perfect Vision, Believe you can do it, find Support from someone who’s done it before, but don’t actually Do It, none of the above will matter! As my good friend, an award-winning trainer and best-selling author Rory Sheehan teaches, never leave the sight of your goal without taking an immediate first step towards its achievement.
Don’t wait until tomorrow. As Tony Robbins says, “mañana never comes“. Or, as my favourite physics profession was saying [warning: for geeks only:)], the probability of you following through is inversely proportionate to the square of the time elapsed since you make the decision! (This means in plain English that there is much less chance you will get around to do something tomorrow).
The time to take action is now. Don’t wait for another year to DREAM BIG again.
