Lessons you should Know about Your Career
Career secrets that will change your life before the year runs out.
Hi Superstar,
It’s almost the end of 2022 and some of us feel we haven’t fully utilized opportunities or fulfilled our career goals. However, it’s not too late, here are some career secrets you should know before the year runs out;
Don’t be blinded by your interests or relationship in your career. Keep friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent.
When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. And that’s how easily you could ruin your career.
Careers are not static things, so you shouldn’t limit yourself. Never be scared to transition or change careers.
Negative things can turn into positive things. The toughest things that happen to us or around us can shape us if we let them.
Reputation in your career is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation, you can win in your career. Guard your reputation, especially your online personality. Be careful what you say or engage in. A running mouth can destroy your entire career.
Never isolate yourself, it can be disadvantageous to you. Circulate among people, find allies, and mingle. Also, Never do yourself what others can do for you. Learn to outsource and build teams, this saves you time and energy.
Energy goes into your focus. Build a positive mindset, so your directions will be positive.
Set yourself apart from others. Be unique. To make people dependent on you, cultivate talent and skill that simply cannot be replaced.
Never be a freeloader. When asking for help, appeal to people’s self-interest, never to their mercy or gratitude. Learn to give something in return. That way, the other person sees your request as an investment.
Never take sides in work disputes. Do not let others drag you into their fights. Seem interested and supportive, but neutral.
Do not accept the roles that society forces on you. Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define it for you. You are stronger than you think. People who seem weak can turn out to be surprisingly strong. Don't be a Goliath, dare to be a David.
Don’t try to be like someone else. Be royal in your own fashion: act like a king to be treated like one. The way you carry yourself will often determine how you are treated.
Master your next move. Become a detective at the right moment. Learn to stand back when the time is not ripe, and strike fiercely when it has reached fruition.
Diversify your income based on your unique skills. Build multiple streams of income based on things you love doing. This guarantees your wealth in the future.
Lastly, blow your trumpet. Pitching yourself as an expert is the ultimate form of career insurance.

PRO TIPS FOR FINDING YOUR DREAM REMOTE JOB
Use Remote Job boards to find openings. Companies can post remote job adverts everywhere, but if you’re set on only seeing remote opportunities, search for opportunities only on remote job boards.
Search hiring pages on company websites. Remote job boards only advertise positions intended for a virtual workforce. So to make your search more effective, try researching the company’s careers page for opportunities.
Build your networking skills online, especially on platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Discord. Taking advantage of your professional network is another way of getting genuine remote opportunities from recruiters.
Invest in a stellar resume that makes you an ideal candidate from the first impression. Ensure your resume is up to date and tailored to the remote position you are applying for.
Lastly, create a portfolio or website to promote your skills and services. A quick tip on achieving this is by optimizing your LinkedIn profile and creating your service page. Trust me, it looks like magic. I have gotten numerous clients on LinkedIn through my service page.
