How to Achieve a Career Breakthrough

You can take your career to the next level while investing in the rest of your life. But doing this requires more thought than simply working around the clock. Ask yourself these questions:

• What would the next level look like for you? Picture it as vividly as possible.

• Do you know anyone else who has achieved a similar breakthrough? What steps did he/she take? Who were the decision makers? What do these people care about?

• How many of your working hours are you spending focused on the “stuff” of your professional craft?

• Do you have time to plan and prospect?

• If not, go back to Chapter 4 and see if you can figure out ways to create more space in your professional calendar. If this won’t work, see if you can add a focused hour or two per day (5-10 per week). How could you make this happen?

• How would you use this time?

• What is your story? Why does achieving the next level make sense? If someone were to write a profile of you, what would it say?

• Do other people know about your goals?

• What “seeds” can you plant to advance your career in the future?

• If you were given a chance opportunity to achieve your breakthrough, would you be prepared to seize it? What needs to happen for you to be prepared?

• If you did achieve your breakthrough, what would you do next?
