Enjoying the process of career success is the next step in your success recipe. You now know what to cook, you have your key ingredients for success, and you have a plan for success. Do you know what it takes in this process?
The path to success is a long one. Just like cooking a successful dish, there are bound to be little spills and breakages here and there. Especially when you are a newbie with a success recipe.
In order to tide through this somewhat tough process, you need to start enjoying the process of career success. Otherwise you will become disheartened that your success recipe isn’t working.
Sometimes it isn’t because your success recipe doesn’t work. It is just a process of you getting good at it. To guide you through this phase, remember to enjoy the process of career success. And how do you enjoy the process?
Clarity of Vision
You must visualize the outcome of your career success recipe. See it in your mind. You will meet setbacks in your journey to success. Do not concentrate on the negative. Feed your mind with pictures of how you see yourself once you finish cooking your dish of success.
What is the dream of success that you have? Believe in that dream. Successful people see what they want to achieve clearly in their minds. You must have clarity of the career success recipe you want to cook. It is difficult to enjoy the process of career success if you do not have the vision of your career success dish when it is cooked.
Conviction to Succeed
Give yourself that freedom to fail. Failure teaches you to be stronger. It allows you to learn from your mistakes. Those mistakes help you create and improve upon your career success recipe. With each continued improvement you learn that the value of pursuing career success is also in the process of getting there.
Be courageous in facing setbacks. Many people who have built successful careers have odds stacked against them. Yet they succeeded. This is because they are not afraid to allow themselves the chance of failing. They know the value in failing and that it is part of the process of career success.
Confident To Be
Your success recipe should only be defined by yourself taking into account your values and motivation in life. Be confident to be who you want to be. In other words, once you have found the success recipe you want to cook, do it. Regardless what others may think. That is one sure way to enjoy the process of career success.
Think about this, how can you enjoy the process of career success if it isn’t a career you want in the first place? It is also for this reason – the first step in the success recipe, you are asked to think about the success recipe you want to cook.
Success Recipe is a Process
Cooking a success recipe is a process. It doesn’t end once you have cooked a successful dish. Neither does it end when you succeed in achieving the desired result from your success recipe.
Your success recipe should be a big work in progress. It helps you achieve bigger and better success each time you act upon it. The more you act upon your career success plan the more you will realize the importance of enjoying the process of career success.
In this process, failure is your best teacher. I believe in the adage that you only truly fail when you give up. As long as you do not give up then the process is indeed teaching you how to increase the chances of your success.
When you fail, you learn what not to do when given the same situation in the future. It also prepares you for more important tasks ahead. It teaches you your limitations that you may not have discovered. When you are aware of your limitations, you can start to work on improving your limitations. Failures also force you to think of better alternatives. It pushes you to think of better ways to do tackle a task.
When you apply consistent effort in perfecting your career success dish, ultimately you will develop a skill that will create that near perfect dish. The rule of success is simple, constant effort will eventually meet with a positive response. That response is success.
