From Checkpoints To C-Suites

Steve Jobs once said – you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So, you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

5 things that needs to be remembered:

HAVE COURAGE
You will face many unsettling circumstances in life. Have the courage to move forward despite the difficulties. Remember that at the end of the day you will have 3 things: Faith, Family & Friends. With these, you will have everything you need to move forward.

KNOW YOUR USP
Know your Unique Selling Point. Know the skills & talents you have in the offering. Know your purpose and design. Create a strategy for yourself. Perhaps doing a SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats) analysis on your own personal brand could be your first step.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH WILL ALWAYS STRETCH YOU
You might find yourself somewhat inadequate or lacking in experience. When presented with an opportunity, take it anyway. Walk through the open door and you will find that your ability to learn will always help you to grow into a new role.

ATTRACTION
Who you are determines what and who you will attract. Look for patterns in opportunities that are currently made available to you. If you are always being shortlisted for certain assignments, that gives you a clue as to what you are great at.

WE LEARN MORE FROM MISTAKES THAN OUR TRIUMPHS
Make your mistakes early and you might find that many of those mishaps could lead you to a greater understanding of your potential. If there is anything you must do though, it is to keep moving forward. Keep connecting the dots. The further you move along, the greater will be the image of your life revealed as you fulfill your destiny.
