Ask any mountain climber – the surest way to the top of the peak is a very simple recipe: put one foot in front of the other. And then do it again. This very simple formula is no different for those looking in advancing their professional success.
Education: Most of us forget that it takes over a decade to graduate from grade school. Or 3-4 years to get a college diploma. Or 2 years to get a grad degree. (Interesting how each more “valuable” degree takes less-and-less time to earn…?) If you are looking for a professional certification, the only thing that is stopping you is time – and taking the first step.
Experience: How did the person in the corner office get there? Why was that one particular entrepreneur so successful? While some may say luck played a part, hard work sustained over a long period of time is usually how one develops experience. And experience equates to value.
Exercise: Wondering why some people look so fit and trim? It isn’t a fitness pill. They went to the gym, went for a jog or cycle, or went for a walk – consistently, week after week.
Not surprisingly, putting one foot in front of the other works outside of the office as well. How do you finish a puzzle? One piece at a time. How do you develop great relationships? One day at a time.
While putting one foot in front of the other obviously makes sense, most people trip up because they don’t even start. Choose one activity that you would like to finish, and take that first step.
