New Year’s Resolutions!

January 1st.   Resolution time.  All of the magazines have weight loss, smoking cessation and a multitude of other personal issue identified for you to target in your new year’s resolution. I want to add my thoughts.  I want you to resolve to be more.  Now I have my opinion about your personal life but here we will work with your career.

#1 Love you job.  If you don’t, get a new one.  But don’t assume different company equals better job.  Maybe your actual job description needs a change.

#2 Learn more – Read, Read, Read, or Listen, Listen, Listen.  Books are a wealth of information. That information can make you a better employee, a better boss, and a better coworker. Information is king.  It changes perspective, it changes direction. It changes everything!!

#3 Network – resolve to email 10 people from your past that you have lost touch with. Explain to them that you are trying to be better -specifically at networking.  Tell them you intend to email them once a quarter and that you just want to keep in touch.  Ask them to not hesitate to ask you if they need an introduction or any assistance (for any reason). If you can help them, you will. Then put it in your planner to email them quarterly.  Add one person to this list every month. Sign up for LinkedIn then connect with as many folks as you can.

Right now, you may say why? But in a month or 12 months from now you may need that connection. Maybe you will be looking for a job or maybe someone you know may be looking for a job, who knows?

Maybe your connection will need assistance.  Helping others always makes you feel good.  Wasn’t that one of your resolutions?
