Dreams' Hunter!
I've faced a lot of negativity through my life;
many are related to my career path, Facing those who measure their dreams with money
and those who say “you can’t” more than any other phrase!
I've met a lot of people who claimed they know
enough about business and enough about life, who have stated that in order to
reach your dreams you won’t be younger than 30 years old or 40!
If you yourself meet such people in your life,
here below are some simple rules you have to follow if you really, REALLY, want
to reach your dreams!
1) Learn
from others mistakes, but never let negativity crash your door!
Have a sneak peak at what others have done in
their lives, Try to check what the man or woman who have the position of your
dreams have done through their career paths and try not to copy it, But do
better than it! LinkedIn is a good spot that you can start doing this, for e.g.
if you wish to be a CFO ,Try checking profiles of those who have similar
positions and check how they were able to reach it.
2) When
people tell you “Nah, You can’t! Let it be the fuel to make you move forward!”.
People always tend to
push others to the ground in order to prevent them reaching what they have
failed to reach, so forget about all that, and keep moving forward!
3) As always
“In case you don’t succeed, dust yourself and TRY AGAIN”
Believe me, nothing
comes from the first time, learning is not easy! So don’t expect getting things
through the easy way, hard ways are the best in adding to your experience!
4) Keep your
eyes on your life!
Have a close monitor at your life, do not let years pass without any
new success, make each year full of achievements , even if they are small ones,
But make each year a one step forward to your biggest dream!.
5) Make financial
sacrifices!
We all love to get paid
well, But gaining experience is more valuable, so don’t be tempted with a job
with a big salary but with no good reference in your CV neither a good add to
your experience, because you’ll wake up after couple of years realizing that if
you want to change your job you’ll be treated like zero experience man and at
that point you’ll worth nothing in the business world!
6) Challenge?!
Thank god, let’s get into the fire!
When you find any
opportunity that is really challenging and difficult but will add to your
experience and knowledge, don’t hesitate and jump into it! I remember all the
times I faced challenges and I suffered of many sleepless nights and unbearable
pressure, but when I look at the experience outcome, I thank god that these
challenges knocked my door!
7) Know
yourself better than any psychiatrist!
The beginning of any
good presentation, is when you know and study the subject in an excellent manner,
the same happens with yourself, If you searched within yourself of what makes
you special, of what makes any business seek for you, and which job suits you
better, You’ll be able to wow!
8) Believe!
But don’t be self conceited!
Believe in yourself, because
no one buys from a hesitant seller! People love believers, and find them
credible, But they hate snobby people, and find them arrogant and ignorant!
9) Plan for
your life! But don’t do over planning!
A good plan for your
life and what you want to achieve is highly crucial, but don’t be obsessed with
this! Because we are not sure of what may happen on our next day, so do plan but
consider a percentage of delay “I don’t like calling it a failure because any
unsuccessful plan is just a delayed plan that will be achieved”, and of course
have a contingency plan! As I always say, always have a plan D! Not just B!
10) Passion
is the key!
And finally! My favourite
secret recipe! It’s do it with passion or just don’t!
Passionate workers are
the best, and are the most successful and guess what they are the least to feel
tired and the least to complain! Who would complain of eating a tasty piece of
chocolate?! Or buying a gift for his loved ones! Your job is your passion! If
it’s not, then you are at the wrong Job sir!
