What’s your excuse?

What’s your excuse?

Sorry, but I have to vent.

I get so frus­trated when I hear excuses about why one’s career isn’t going any­where.  

The oppor­tu­ni­ties to develop the tools and skills needed to move your career for­ward are all around you in the form of sem­i­nars, work­shops, con­fer­ences, tele­classes, coach­ing pro­grams, net­work­ing events…and the list goes on. But time and time again, I hear the same excuses…“Money is tight right now and I can’t afford it. I don’t have the time. I’m going to do it soon.  Yada yada yada.“

You can’t afford to put your career on the right track?  You won’t invest the time to do the things you need to do to finally start see­ing progress?  That’s illog­i­cal!  

Basi­cally, they are say­ing they’re going to keep doing what they’ve been doing, instead of step­ping out by actively devel­op­ing their career.  

If you’re not devel­op­ing your career on an ongo­ing basis, how are you going to become suc­cess­ful?

My point is this…skip the gourmet cof­fee, movie the­atre, or din­ing out for a month or two, and maybe even can­cel HBO for the time being. Use that money to invest in your career.

Some­times, you have to spend money to make money.  The key is to set your­self up for suc­cess by invest­ing in the skills and knowl­edge you need.

If  your career is worth it, take action today.  http://www.tanyakersey.com/coaching

To your suc­cess,
