Are you considering your next career step? This time is different for everyone with many feelings associated – it can be exciting or daunting, even both. It can also be a stressful time, even if it’s a great opportunity.

Here are 4 tips to help with the right mindset and setup for this important time:

  1. Choose less over more - you don’t have to make massive changes quickly or jump into multiple things. Do something every day that brings you closer to success.
  2. Planning your time is critical – what are the essential actions and what are the proactive steps you can take?
  3. Follow up that potential opportunity or new contact – be ready for the longer game and remember, you can embrace opportunity or hide from it.
  4. Find a mentor or coach to supplement your knowledge, push you along and celebrate the wins. Your pit crew and teachers will push you to stretch and grow.
