It’s never too late (or too early) in your career to instill
good habits into your work routine, and there are some basic habits for success
that apply to any job or work environment you might encounter in your career.
Here are five habits to will help you build a track record
of success in your life and career.
Focused, hard work. If you don’t have a practice of working hard,
you’ll have a difficult time finding career success. Hard work should be the cornerstone
of your work habits and should, obviously, be a given. But you can also work hard
on the wrong things and it’s important to develop the ability to focus on a
single task rather than allowing the distraction of multitasking.
Continuous learning. Regardless of the position you’re in,
there is always room to learn more and to expand your knowledge, deepen your
skill set, and expand your tool kit of expertise. This requires an attitude of
humility and a commitment to seek out opportunities to learn more about your
job and industry.
Positive approach. Taking a positive approach to your life
by developing a habit of positive thinking and seeking out the best in others
and every situation will enable you to create more success in your life and
career. Others will want to work with you, and you’ll instill a sense of trust
in your relationships that will build an effective and lasting network.
Seek out mentors. Successful people realize that they can
not do it alone and they seek out mentors and others who they can learn from
and who can be a support system along the way. Strong and successful individuals
have a strong system of support, starting with a mentor who has their best
interests at heart and isn’t afraid to be honest.
Attention to purpose. Lifelong career success comes from developing
a clear sense of your purpose and seeking out work opportunities that fulfill
that purpose. Successful people are not driven by the accumulation of wealth
but seek to serve others through their skills, interests, and knowledge, and
want to make a difference in the world.
Work to cultivate these habits in your work and life and you’ll
be closer to having the successful career you want.
