It is the time of year for resolutions. What are yours?
If you have followed me, you know I speak about controlling what you can control in your job search. As you set your resolutions don’t forget to focus on the results YOU want.
Here is a Henry Blodget’s post Mark Cuban: There’s Only One Thing in Life You Can Control Your Own Effort from Business Insider with links to excerpts from Mark Cuban’s new book. Excerpts are interesting and I will let you know what I think of the book once I read it.
Cuban’s questions are solid. The questions noted could help you too. The best point is that for Cuban it “would have been easy to judge effort by how many hours …”, now dead on. Too many engaged in a job search confuse effort with hours, time spent and not results. Be careful that you don’t spent time without a focus on results, or pat yourself on the back at the end of a long day when you just put in time without forward movement toward your desered results. The results you may well achieve from just putting in time may well be an extended job search!
What are the results you want? What are the goals you have set to get the results you want?
My wish for you in 2012 is solid results in all you do. Happy New Year!
