Change Careers and Crush It in Your New Job

Change Careers and Crush It in Your New Job All You Need is 10% the  10% Win   to Change Careers and Succeed in a New Job   Leaders everywhere are always looking for the secret sauce to motivate their teams and achieve high performance. You, as a bold career changer, are a leader too â€" of your  own  professional life. You may not have a team supporting you, but you absolutely have control over your career. The key is  not  to  spend your time doing things that aren’t really helping you reach your goal; consider  a new job in a new field or a more challenging opportunity in a new organization. A word of caution as you navigate this change: Don’t  confuse  activity  with achievement. Just because you’re doing  something  doesn’t mean you’ll get the end result you desire. Thinking  lots of activity  is  the answer to all of your challenges will only leave you stuck and falling further  behind rather  than  moving ahead to  where you want to be. It’s All About the  â€œ10% Win”  to Successfully Change  Careers Pete Williams, entrepreneur, advisor,  marketer,  and author of  Cadence: A Tale of Fast Business Growth,  developed the concept of the “10% Win” when he was working as the CEO of Infiniti Telecommunications. He discovered that key to a  growing and  thriving  business is to improve certain critical actions and results by 10%.  Here’s how  it  can work for you when  you are ready to  transition  to a new career: 1 Increase the number of job applications you submit  by 10%.   2 Increase the amount of time spent job searching  by 10%.   3 Increase the time spent on education in your new field of interest  by 10%.   4 Increase the amount of time networking  by 10%.   By following these  steps, you’ll be on your way to landing the new position that you worked so hard for.  And  then  apply the 10% Win to be  an unbelievable employee  once you start in your new role.   4 Ways the 10% Win Can Make Your Career Soar   1 You have a goal, and you know how to reach it.
