If you want to make a change in your (professional) life you have to stop putting your experience first. If you base your next step on your previous experience chances are big you’ll end up doing the same thing over and over again. Instead – start thinking about what you want in the future and what expectations you’d like to create. Your experience gives your dream credibility.

Don’t look back, we’re not going there anyway.

I believe we tend to regret what we didn’t do more often than the things we gave a try and found out it didn’t work. That’s why my formula for no regrets is simple: Take the chance. Give your idea a try. Make the change you’d like to see. That’s the only way to find out whether it will work or not. 

Agree? 

 

Worth a second thought: What would you do if you were guaranteed to succeed?

Guess we all have something we’ve been thinking about for quite a while, right? Something you want to do, a change you want to make, a person you’d like to meet… Why not let today be the day when you stop thinking and actually DO what you’ve been thinking about? I know you can.

 

Just do it.

This time of the year many of us spend some time reflecting about the year that passed; what we’ve done and if we’ve reached our goals. If you’re one of us that evaluate this year, I just want to give you a heads up:

 

Make sure you evaluate your accomplishments based on YOUR definition of success! You decide what success means to you and only you know where you’re heading on your adventure called professional life.

 

Skip those traditional definitions of success and what you ”should have” done. Instead focus on all the things you actually did that took you closer to the professional life you want. And – remember to celebrate!

 

Wish you all happy holidays! Relax, recharge and why not take a moment and reflect on where you’re going? Are you moving in the right direction or is it maybe time to correct the course for 2017? Create the professional life you want. Your professional freedom is waiting!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I know I nag about action… But the truth is that it is when we take action that things will change.

 

No matter how clever thoughts you think, no-one will notice unless you take action and tell someone.

No matter how great your idea is, nothing will change until you take action and start implementing.

No matter how bold plans you have for the future, nothing will happen until you start taking action in that direction.

 

Now is the time to start making your future self proud. What action will you do today to make your future self proud?

 

Read this quote the other day “The more you look at competition, the more you will look like competition”.

“The more you look at competition, the more you will look like competition”

Touché. Might be smarter to just focus on your unique talents and how you’d like to run your professional life. Because after all, you get hired because you are you. Not because you’re like competition…

 

 

It is so easy to be drawn into someone else’s definition of success. To evaluate your results based on a scale set by others. But the fact is only you know what success means to you. Make sure you play the game on your terms. Let your definition of success guide you on the adventure called professional life. It’s up to you to decide what’s important. Use that power.

 

What if you should look at yourself as an artist creating a totally unique experience called your professional life? Would it make you feel any different when going to work in the morning? Probably. Just as an artist, use your creativity and imagination to craft your perfect professional experience. Be yourself. Dare to stand out. And do work that makes you proud.
