How to Succeed at your new Job
Your personal definition of success can only be defined by you. If a successful career for you means winning multiple awards in your work industry, then set yourself a goal to work towards earning the awards that you feel you are meant to have. Success to you might be defined as getting a promotion at work within one year of when you first started your job. Whatever your definition is for career success it is necessary that you have a plan on how to achieve your goals and meet your expectations. Having a plan will help you to measure your success and build towards the future.
Regardless of what your new career is, there are other people who have achieved the level of success in your industry that you hope to achieve. Make serious efforts to study the success of someone you admire who works in your industry. Many people who have achieved success in their industries have written books about how they became successful.Dana Wildeachieved unprecedented success in the network marketing company she used to be a part of when she and her team members sold over $1 million of inventory within 19 months from when Wilde joined the company.

Pick up any book you can find that was written by one of your mentors or people who have achieved the kind of success you want to emulate.
Always remember to be realistic. Some jobs will feel like a natural fit for you, and other careers will take getting used to. New jobs that require weeks of training will need to be approached very seriously by you; slacking off on studying what you need to know will not help you in your career. Your employer expects you be prepared on the job, doing your part to make the company a success. Your customers will expect you to be knowledgeable about your job duties and responsibilities too. Read as much information as you can about your industry through articles and books, watch videos, attend seminars, and network with people. In addition to being a worker in your industry, be a student of your industry by making efforts to learn as much as you can about it. Give yourself “homework” assignments where you are responsible for learning as much information as you can to be the best professional of your industry that you can be.
Success comes to those who want it. If you want to be successful you will set your mind on doing whatever it takes to be successful. Don’t doubt for a minute that you have what it takes to achieve your goals. With a positive mindset and a can-do attitude, you can achieve your career goals. Keep in mind that your career goals may not always be the same. You could end up changing your mind about your career ambitions down the road. The company you work for may be a good fit for you now, but you might feel differently later on. It is important to examine and reassess your goals on a monthly basis to know if your previous goals are still relevant. Introduce yourself to your new co-workers, team leaders, and employers first; don’t wait for them to reach out to you before you make efforts to get to know them. Take the initiative to be a self-starter, proving that you have what it takes to succeed in your professional endeavors.
