I am sure that you will find this video clip shocking and motivating by the COO of FaceBook.

Create Your Unique Career Plan

Depending on where you are in your career as well as how you feel about making “plans” for your life, creating a career plan may or may not be a welcoming idea. However, it is a step that is vital to ensure you are focused on your career objectives and are taking the right steps along the journey to get there. A career plan can be whatever you want it to be. It can be a short-term or a long-term plan, or both. That is the beauty of it; you get to decide. It is your plan.

Regardless of whether you want a long or a short-term plan, there are several key aspects to include in your plan. First, you want to have an end result. What are you trying to achieve? It might be the next job or assignment you want to reach in the next twelve months, or it might be the ultimate C-Suite position you are trying to reach in the next 5 years. This is the objective of your plan and by establishing it, you set your plan’s foundation.

Happy New Year - Design Your Life

Happy New Year! We want to wish you all the best in 2011.

What is the life that you want to design for yourself in 2011?

We have all heard that the best way to successfully achieve a goal is to map out the steps just as you would design, develop the blue print and follow the steps in building a house.

David Bohl says, "There are no guarantees that life will turn out the way you want…but you have a better chance of it turning out how you want if you know how to design your own life."

Read the article here http://www.thechangeblog.com/design-your-life/ where creating this successful map and design is wonderfully explained step by step and easy to follow.

Again, Happy 2011 and we wish you the best in successfully creating the life that you desire.
