5 Steps to a Successful Career

  

Are you unhappy in your job? Are you waiting for something that will inspire and motivate you? Then you must have chosen the wrong job. What shall you do then?

Listen to your heart. Follow what you hear. Be honest with yourself and say what you really want to do. You can dream about being a president of a multinational company, or your hart will say you must be a cowboy spending days in a rancho with horses.

It can be a big or small dream but the price is one – a life. Your life! So make your dream a goal and work on it every day. That’s when you get inspired. That’s when you reach your goals.

First, you have to close your eyes and ask yourself: “What I’d love to do?” Before you answer this question I want you to remember: Don’t let anyone influence you. Because it is YOUR life! Are you ready to pay?

My next advice is for people who have answered ‘Yes!’. Make your dream a goal. How to do that?
