CAREER GROWTH: STAGNANCY

Someone is in private sector or even in public sector and one day decides and leaves formal employment and settles in his/her panache. So you champion a start of an economic wave length that suits your skills, talents, gifts and competences. You think you are ready to go and it is just a matter of time and your wings will grow. After one has achieved such credentials of establishing a venture, they are normally proud of themselves and fully excited. I don't know at whaat angle do these smart individuals loose focus and hit a gridrock thereby subjecting their career to remain in infancy for too long. 


A decade has elapsed since a business was started yet there is a very little difference compared to where you started. So while in this kind of dilemma, what should be the way forward? A vey classic advice at this juncture is for one to retrace the paths that he/she used and note common mistakes that were committed along the way. Identify them and match them with relevant solutions. If you are the director, don't assume you know better. Take the humility path and seek information.


Restore your initial focus and stop engaging in unethical habits. Choose the professional angle if previously you were a common person. Admit mistakes and change where possible. Only integrity and honesty are rehabilitative traits spurs success. Nurture your own career. Don't forget too early what propelled you upwards. Reinvent with time. What you know is old. Market information is changing fast. Being learned doesn't help such situations. Open up to new things in order to  chart your own career development.
