High Inflation is catching up to us. Worries are piling high. Are you thinking about new ways to maximize your income in your job or career? You are not the only one. Lots of people are thinking the same way! In order to maximize income, please think about your current career path and your future goals.
Here are some questions to think about: 1) Am I happy with my current salary and benefits from my job? Can I get a higher paying or better benefit job? 2) Can I afford to keep on living in the same place? Do I need to find a job in a more affordable city? 3) Do I want to reinvent my career for better pay? What career paths are there for higher pay with my skills, knowledge and experience? It is time to do some thinking. Reevaluate your career, job and lifestyle. Then, come up with solutions that help you maximize your income and career goals! These days, everyone is worried about something or the other. Worries can range from Layoffs, Job Security, Pandemic, Health, Finances, Kids, World, etc.
Worries come and go. We still have to move on with our lives. So, why not limit your worries to designated time periods of a day. Or, even a certain day/time in your week. That way, worries will not interfere in your work and life. Schedule a time of the week to think about your worries. It is not always easy to do, but it may be worth it to try. The key is to limit your worries. Period. Limit your worries to the biggest of worries. Let go of small annoyances. Little things that bother us should not take up space in our minds. Instead, use that free space in your mind to achieve success. Better yet, why fill your mind with worries? Rather, fill it with career dreams and goals. Make room in your mind to achieve these dreams and goals. Focus on getting your dream job or dream life. Make it happen. It is not always possible to be completely worry-free, but keep on trying till you reach complete success. Nobody likes to get stuck in traffic. But, we have to deal with it. Don’t despair. This is a perfect time to rethink your career and life.
Turn off music and noise. Or, minimize it. Take a deep breath while you are sitting in a traffic jam. Ask yourself these Questions: 1) How can I get out of this rut and become a success? 2) Can I do remote work? Will remote work for me? 3) Is this the life that I dreamed of when I was younger? But, remember to be watchful of traffic. Concentrate on your driving. Only think about these things if you are stopped in a traffic jam. You do not want to get into a fender bender or more! After you reach your destination, write down any thoughts and answers that came to you while you were stuck in traffic. -- Chicu Success Team All of us want to look and feel young! But, careers can prevent us from doing so. Job stress can get to you. Age can get to you. So, how should one look and feel young as you continue to grow in your career paths. Here are some tips:
1. Don’t let small things at work get to you. Stress from bosses, co-workers and the work environment can be annoying. The stress will eventually show up on your face. As a solution, look at the big picture. If you will not remember little annoyances 1 year from now, then it is not worth it to worry about them now. Forget these small things and move on. 2. Always smile and act happy. At least, try in reasonable circumstances. If you do that, you will feel good from inside and outside. You will get less wrinkles and look younger. 3. Pick styles and trends that you are comfortable with. If you are truly comfortable with who you are, it will reflect on your face and appearance. Work can be challenging; so comfort is very important. -- Chicu Success Team We are sure most of you know these common terms. But, some, who have not applied for jobs in a long time, may not.

Millions of people are in your situation. Do Not Worry!
The key to job hunting is to have perseverance. Keep on going and going and going. Do not take rejections to heart. This is one of the hardest things to do. Keep in mind, rejections are not your fault, most of the time. It is hard to know what the employer may be thinking. Sometimes, the employer may have already identified a qualified candidate before you. There are millions of reasons for rejections. Don’t lose faith in your ability to succeed. Develop a job success strategy that is customized to you and your life. Keep on refining your strategy till you are comfortable with your plan. Apply to many jobs with that plan. Update and review your plan as you get deeper into finding the right job. Remember, keep on going and going and going. Till you get the job that you want! -- Chicu Success Team 1) Think and ponder over your Career, Job, Success and Life Goals. Focus on strategies to get you ahead this year. Please be sure to give your work and life some thought.
2) Make a creative and realistic Checklist of your Goals. 3) By end of 2022, make sure you have achieved ALL or MOST of what is on the Checklist. It looks simple but it is not. Review your checklist beginning and end of each month. Start checking off boxes of your goals that you have accomplished. Make notes of your achievements and milestones. If you go astray, do not worry. Get yourself refocused and continue till you accomplish your goals. -- Chicu Success Team |
