What do Stevie Wonder, Leonard Cohen, and Elton John all have in common? They are all musicians, all internationally famous, and they have all been writing music and performing for decades. But what accounts for their success?
This is exactly how successful people manage their careers: They invest in education, learn from their mentors, evolve over the years, and despite a focus on their current responsibilities, they actively manage their careers. They get very good at what they do.
Are you doing as well managing your career, as these musicians are in managing theirs? Look at the list above, and choose one thing that you may have been ignoring, and plan how to do more of it.
Insight: We can’t know whether Wonder’s, Cohen’s, and John’s name in music will be as well known as Mozart, Bach, or Beethoven, but we do know that without working hard today, they won’t have that long-term professional success. (And neither will you.)
