When I saw a prediction in the headline of an article, it immediately caught my attention. I related it to the positive outcomes of setting goals, career planning and being intentional about your actions.
And... what can happen without goals, planning and actions.
The article, entitled: "Older Americans Are About to Lose A Lot of Weight" refers to "the trap" many people fall into when there is no design or strategy pertaining to a healthy lifestyle. Then when a health crisis hits, a "magic pill" is a quick fix for a fast solution.
But when it comes to a career, there is no magic pill
for reaching your goals. It's hard work, you have to accept the discomfort of stretching your abilities and strategize how to reach your goals. Then... you must take actions to make them happen.
Having long term job security can be disrupted by unexpected events such as an acquisition, management change, or a company that pivots their business model.
Yet, real job security and career growth is a journey under your control and dependent on the ACTIONS you take. Rarely is there someone or something else that's ready to save your day. It's up to you.
A growing career is achieved over time, through creative thinking, skills development, new experiences, education, making business impacts and expanding professional relationships along the way.
That's
why having your own strategy that includes networking and owning your value is the best defense against a "career crisis".
