Then you ask yourself, “What have I done wrong?” The answer is simple, “You’ve done nothing wrong.” All what you needed is to take some few steps to win your promotion.
A good number of us will not get the promotion we’ve been hoping to get. We aren’t taking the right steps to win it. In my career, I’ve learned that we can only get what we want if we prepare for it.
Do you frequently find yourself off track from completing your tasks? Have you ever failed to keep up winning with a daily routine?

Before you become a morning person, think about its benefits for you. As a morning person, you may gain more hours than others who wake up a little later.
What do most successful people have in common? They have a habit of waking up before everyone else. When you wake up early, you are free of your daily activities, therefore; could perform at your highest energy level.

Trust me, setting a goal is fun, but staying focused to accomplish it is so hard. Why is it so hard to stay focused? There are many distractions we face on a daily basis.
Okay, now that we know there are going to be some obstacle, how should we get rid of them? There is no way you can get rid of them, but there is always a way we can work around them.
A good number of us construct great goals, but fail to achieve them. Many will quit in a few days after starting. Why? It is because we lose track of the goals and become apathetic in the process.
At the beginning of my career, I constructed many goals but failed to achieve some of them. I felt like I was not working hard enough. Was that true? Of course not! I worked hard to complete the goals on time but fell short.
A significant number of people want to soar beyond their limits, but only a few make it. Why? One of the main reasons is that their daily habits do not help them.

When I was going to college for my undergraduate, I thought graduation was the pass to a promising career. Faced with reality I discovered that it was a different story to deal with to achieve the goal of landing a job.
It involved making connections, seeking advice, meeting new people, and getting out of my comfort zone. In the course of the past nine years of my career I have learned that if you want to soar like an eagle, you have to change some habits and avoid some things in your life.
It is one thing to craft a compelling goal but is another thing to accomplish the goal. Most of us will start working on a goal but lose interest.

To accomplish your goals, first start by cutting off some distractions from your life. You think I am funny, right? No, I am not. Some activities that do not help us when it comes to achieving our goals.
Consequently, distractions play a significant role in our failure to deliver our goals. So to stay focused we must get rid of them. Before we can get rid of them, we must first know them.
The most significant mistake you may make is trying to crush a big goal at once. If you do that, you are setting yourself for a disappointment.

No matter how big your goal may be, you need to break it down into small manageable tasks. “When eating an elephant take one bite at a time.” – Creighton Abrams. How many of you have heard this quote before?
