Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

~ Golda Meir

How do you make the most of yourself and fan possibility into achievement? I think you do it by always investing in yourself–by reading books, talking to people, and doing the things that are difficult or that scare you a little.

Read books that sharpen your mind for work or for the things you need to do to open opportunities for yourself (like networking, job searching, leadership, management, etc.). Learn new things.

Talk to people around you (your network) and get a mentor or two to bounce ideas off of and learn from.

Do things that others won’t do. Even if you only try or achieve 10% more than others, that still sets you apart.  Make the effort to find hidden jobs.  Create a brag book (and bring it to your interview). Bring a 30-60-90-Day Plan to your next interview.

Learn more and set yourself apart by coming to one of our Free Online Job Search or Interview Training Webinars this week. I pack my webinars with top-notch tips, insights, and advice that will help you be more successful.  (Plus, we give free gifts for registering and attending each webinar.)
