My business partner at CareerBlast.TV, Ora and I got into one of our silly brainstorming modes as we were thinking about ways to make 2018 the most positive, successful and funnest year ever (yes, funnest is a word!). The result of our brainstorming is this Dr. Seuss-esque set of nine simple yet powerful affirmations. We call it the CareerBlast Creed.
And here’s the catch: We came up with eight affirmations and want you to decide what number nine should be. We know there is a lot of brilliance in our community and we want to hear from you. So check out these eight principles to live by, then tell us your number nine in our Facebook group.
1. DO THE WORK I LOVE
Amp up the energy and shed the burnout. Like a happy vacation the workday will turn out.
2. LEARN SOMETHING NEW
It might be big, it might be small. Learn something new to keep your skills list tall.
3. TAKE A RISK
You might succeed or maybe you’ll fail. But risk-taking propels your career, like a hurricane gale.
4. BE EXTRA KIND
Be stingy with criticism and generous with praise. Respected you’ll be for all your days.
5. BE AUTHENTIC
Don’t copy, don’t mimic. Don’t be Luke, Len or Lee. Being yourself is the best you can be.
6. STAY POSITIVE
Be an upper and avoid Debbie Downer. You’ll be seen as a smiler and not as a frowner.
7. HONOR MY BODY
Sleep, move and down the right fuel. Because your body’s a temple and your most powerful tool.
8. HAVE FUN
In all that you do, make work seem like play. Through all the day, happy you’ll stay.
Now, it's your turn:
