Complacency is a Career Killer


Complacency is a Career Killer
“Each success only buys an admission ticket
to a more difficult problem.”
Henry Kissinger, 56th US Secretary of State

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Complacency is a career killer

The fruits of success can lead to complacency. You can see it in professional sports . . . . business  . . . . and in people’s personal lives. We have all seen people who have experienced success and could have taken their career to the next level. But instead they chose to become complacent . . . . and they never became the success that they capable of being.

Complacency becomes a trap and a silent killer of careers.

Success creates the opportunity to try again. The more success you achieve the more opportunities you invite into your life. 

Be on the lookout for the silent killer of complacency.

Don’t turn off the energy switch that powers your career efforts . . . . Keep the light of your career burning brightly. Keep your energy flowing into your career and into your forward momentum.

Do not misuse your time on non productive tasks remain focused on your most productive . . . . and in success building activities.

Be aware of taking shortcuts . . . . They can easily take you off track and can lead to failure.  Maintain your success habits and focus them on creating your future success.

Don’t have a sense of entitlement; you earn your results from your efforts. Do your best and the best will come back to you with increased dividend.

Your next success is an effort away.

Complacency is career killer. Don’t allow complacency to kill your career or to block your success.

When You Reach a Fork In The Road
“If you don’t know where you are going, every road will get nowhere.”
 Henry Kissinger, 56th Secretary of State and 1973 Nobel Peace Prize


As I see it. . . . . . . .

When you reach a fork in the road

One can take you on a well lighted road in the direction of your success and the other is a road leading . . . . to nowhere.

When you reach the fork in the road; you will have to make a choice to which road that you will take.

Unless you know where you’re going . . . . you won’t know what road will take you to your destination.

Where you have no direction in your life it becomes impossible to set your personal GPS, because you don’t know where you are going. You can’t use a map because you have no idea where you are or what your destination is.

Without a clear direction for your life you will wander without a purpose . . . . with no end in sight. You would truly become lost . . . . because you have no idea on what road to take.

When you know where you are going and when you reach a fork in the road . . . . you know with certainty which road to take and you will  make that choice with confidence.
