10 Mantras for Fast Career Growth

What calls for a fast career growth? – Top 10 mantras

Attitude – In my opinion, this defines everything in life. Whether you are a fresher or experienced, you are an individual. You have down to earth attitude. You don’t boss on others. You listen. You are honest. You exhibit humility at any given point of time. You are non-political in your thoughts.  You care and help always professionally and personally (to a lesser extent as and when required).

Open to Learn at any given point of time – You don’t have ego. You follow ABCDE – Always Be Cool Don’t have Ego. You give respect and take respect. After learning from others, you will go back and be happy about that learning instead of thinking “I knew it already” and feeling sad and assuming you procrastinated with that person from whom you learnt. Remove such thoughts from you mind.

Remain calm and patient during issues and disputes – Listen to the problem. You are not expected to be reactive in such situations. You can listen – be silent but commit to the other person that you will come back with your interpretations. Ensure you get a feeler from the other person that he/she feels that you are demonstrating patience on your face. This requires strong positive rigid mind.  The more your face becomes red, heated up, your eye ball starts rotating here and there, and your eyebrow and forehead show skin movement – trust me you are showing impatience.

Stop cribbing – Decide in your life that you will not crib with anybody. It might be sometimes difficult in the initial stage for some people but deciding not to crib should be on the top of your mind. You just adhere to such firm decisions in your mind. It will work. Try to solve unsolved problems in your company that is there within your capabilities areas. See how can make your boss, peers, junior happy always at their work place. Approach them with solutions. Please remember – your non cribbing nature can influence may people around you positively.

Taking ownership – Your goal is to grow rapidly in your career. Then, take initiatives. Own up things and execute.  Anticipate what are the needs for your organization to grow and scale. Go and tell your boss that you want to take up that task – give a presentation that is very specific to the point and excites yourself, your team and your boss. Develop a confidence where you should be 100% certain that your boss and rest of the employees will get excited before you actually go and present it to the crowd.

Speed of execution – you believe in Light velocity. You are fast in your thinking, execution and thought process. You are fast in providing alternative solutions. You want to launch a rocket which will penetrate the space in less than 24 hours. Some of these things are difficult to execute but is it important for us to dream. When you dream something that can ignite positively you will end up executing it faster.

Love your products OR services offerings passionately – Either you belong to one of this category. Enjoy your offerings. Meet customers. See how they react to your offerings. Hug your offering with lot of deep passion. Talk about your offerings to worldwide crowd. Create tools and techniques where you end up creating continuous high interest levels with the crowd so that they at least look at your offerings. Passionately sell yourself, your team and your organization. Be bold enough to tell what you can’t offer and your future plan in enhancing your offer.

Be creative – put continuous efforts to become a great mentor. Come up with new ideas. Conduct brain storming sessions.  I usually don’t advice multi tasking. But developing this quality is important. It helps sometime where the tasks are not more than 3, to be executed simultaneously.  Don’t entertain people who come to you defining problems always.

Being organized – use calendars, “to-do” tools. Integrate these tools with your gadgets. Plan your day. Ensure you clear all your emails on the same day before you leave office.  Attend meetings on time. Expect the same from others.  Balance your professional and personal time outs. Go for a vacation with your family. Plan your calendars for personal time outs too.

Health is wealth – So important. Be fit physically and mentally. Eat healthy food, exercise and diet. Get you health checkups done once in every three months without fail. Don’t assume about your fitness at any given point of time.

I hope these tips should help you to experience fast, organized and well rounded growth in your career.  All the best!
