The best career advice I ever received….
Many thanks to everyone who entered our ‘best career advice ever‘ competition to win my new Olympic Gore-Tex sailing jacket! Our judges sorted through the entries (which were anonymized) before picking a winner….
The winning sage advice was sent in by Jim Tuffin at the start of the week…
“I wanted to submit a little bit of advice that I think is really important if you are to succeed in anything that you wish to do, be it being an Executive, an Entrepreneur or a Father!
You have to know what it is that you want to achieve, what your goal is, and then simply take ACTION! Too many of us sit back and wait for things to happen, and not surprisingly when they do, it is often not what we expect or want. The secret is - that you need to take control, you need to move towards your goal, you need to start … and that takes ACTION on your behalf.
I hope this is useful to all … it is one of those tips that everyone will nod at and agree, but few follow through on!”
We have to agree that our judges picked some good advice here. It’s great to strategize and dream about where you want to end up. But actually doing something about it, taking that first step, and the next, and the next, is rare in this world of ‘much talk but little action’.
What did you do today to move you towards where – and who – you want to be?
We had a lot of great advice sent through. So many thanks to those who entered the competition. We’ll be collating it and distributing it out to the people who participated.
As for Jim, well he has some nice Gore-Tex heading his way… congratulations!
