When it comes to career it is up to you to create options for growth and expansion. Here are a few helpful points:
Pick a boss, not a job. Your boss can often be the most important factor in your success or failure. A boss who is skeptical regarding your capabilities will not allow you to take up new challenges or conduct new experiments. On the other hand, an easy going boss will not push you to avail opportunities to stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone.
Before making a career move, thoroughly research the organization you plan to join. Does it treat is employees as potential or resource? Potential is to be tapped, while resources are to be consumed.
Unless you passionately enjoy what you do, success will remain an illusion. If you are passionate about marketing but you work in finance, the chances are that you will soon be at war with yourself.
Apart from your primary passion, profession, always find avenues to create a second line of defense. If your primary career becomes redundant, due to external factors, you will then have something to fall back upon. So, Plan B must be in place all the time.
Fortune favors the bold and the brave. A certain Colonel Sanders changed his career at the age of 66 and from being a loser salesman he became an extremely successful entrepreneur.
