How to Step Ahead for Accomplishing Career Goals

Not only this great Hindu monk and youth icon - Swami Vivekananda (quoted on the left side) encouraged us for continuing our journey until destination, all our well-wishers and ancestors try to give us this advice. It is absolutely essential to follow as most of the times we set career goal but fail to stay committed to those.

This thing happens because we fail to get organized and determined. We lose confidence when we taste failures or the roadblocks. Sometimes circumstances make our goals secondary. We procrastinate and most of us find grey hairs on our head.

Now, tell me, have you set your goal and heading towards the target? Let me tell you how to move forward to reach your career goal step by step. Believe me, it is easy by crossing set milestones with utmost confidence, determination and some time-tested tricks noted below.

Determine what you want to accomplish

The foremost important thing is determination. Ask yourself how determine you are! Always try to stick to your target. If you fail to get the confidence, encourage yourself.

For example, you can repeatedly charge yourself with “I can do it.” It may seem childish in the beginning, but it soon shows you positive results.

Create roadmap to destination

Without a set roadmap, nobody reaches any destination. So you need to plan your entire approach road to the destination. Write your expectation and create your plan to reach them one by one.

For instance, to be the vice president in your serving organization, you need to climb through different mid- levels like group leaders to senior manager and so on. So you need to know how to reach these positions with what level of performance.

Document goals to achieve it

You need to keep your goals visible in front of your eyes. Keep those visible through documenting them. Those would power your mind to run toward accomplishing set targets. But do not write anything out of the world! However, you can write something 2 or 3 times bigger than your present strength.

In some cases, you can set goal to double the salary package but do not think to head your serving organization in a year as it would be too difficult a task to complete in a year!

Try to anticipate roadblocks specifically

While you have goals, roadblocks are natural. But you need to anticipate those for each goal. This attitude ensures that you know what is next to come. Always be analytical in this anticipation, you have to be specific with realistic analysis. Accordingly, you can plan the support to overcome those hurdles to achieve your goal.

In few instances, you may anticipate your immediate superior to hinder your promotion. No issue, simply plan how to highlight your achievement to get notice from management.

Set a deadline for each goal

Everything we do, has deadline. You cannot afford to miss the deadline to reach your goal! Deadlines makes us accountable for whatever we do. Split your route to destination in small realistic and time-driven deadlines. Only concentrate to pass the immediate blockage and soon you get ready to reach the goal.

For example, you may fix a deadline to be the employee of the year. And to reach that, you need to be excellent in every project you do. So your target is supreme quality at delivering each project. Accomplish it, you are on the top for sure.

Prioritizing goals one by one

It is never possible to take one target at random and achieve it. You have to be calculative by prioritizing targets. Just think about the most important thing first, then make your way crossing target marks one by one. It will make difference in your career achievements and will help you move properly.

For example, your accomplishments can be to perform the best for quarterly appraisal or to be the next group leader and may be Sr. Manager. Now you have to realize what is the most prior and how to step accordingly.

There is no tomorrow- it is now or never!

Do not procrastinate or delay in starting your journey. You must realize a journey begins with a single step. Do not hesitate to take that step. Remove all fears and tensions from your mind to move forward. Take the step and you will be there.

It is as if, you have planned your route to success yesterday night, but you are waiting for tomorrow to begin with it. Remember, there is no tomorrow! So start today and possibly now.

Revisit your goals everyday

If you think, once the plan is done, you would keep on climbing up step by step; you are wrong! Remember, small failures can even discourage you to move forward. So to keep going, you have to revisit your plan to rejuvenate your subconscious mind that ensures you’re steering yourself in the right direction.

Sometimes, work pressure tend to make your goals secondary. You start your day thinking how to resolve the issue left unresolved at office. Never do it. Look at your goals each morning first as it would recharge you with positive vibes. You will see automatically positive thinking solves other problems left in other places.

It is really easy – You can do it

If there is will, there is way for sure. Hope you have understood what steps I noted here. I can remember Walt Disney's great quote. He said it correctly:

We human beings have immense mental power. We need to realize it. Your will power can really move the mountain. First dream your goal destination then start without hesitation.

In your journey, you will find hundreds to discourage you, but few to encourage. Listen your soul and walk until you are at your destination.

Now tell me, aren't those simple! Yes, take it easy and say to yourself – “I can do it.” So many people have got success by following these steps. Now it is your turn to accomplish your goals. Are you ready?

I can never forget one classic from Elvis Presley. I like the realization and try to follow it in every aspect of my life; you should love everything you do, not just your dearest one. Isn't it? I leave it to you. But trust me, there is no harm in listening this classic song...
