Progress Your Career by Acting Like You Run Your Own Business

I regularly promote the idea that you already run your own business even if you're employed. (Congratulations? Maybe you've always wanted to? Oh, and good luck!) The laws and principals of business apply to you in your career whether you acknowledge them or not. They're like gravity. You can accept them, learn about them and use them to your advantage, or forget about them and be at the mercy of them. Your choice.

The sooner you accept them, the sooner you can take charge of where you want to go, where you're actually going, what and how you'll earn, and who you'll work with. And what challenges and frustrations you're prepared to take on in your career because you enjoy overcoming such challenges, and you're good at it. What a great opportunity to kiss goodbye to the challenges and frustrations that suck the life out of you!

Since you run a business, in my work and blog posts I aim to connect you to business ideas, examples and lessons that you can apply to your own career. I like to help you look at your career through this new lens so you can make progress faster, more easily and more enjoyably. Ultimately I want to help you learn how to earn an enjoyable living.

If you know of anyone who would like to follow my posts, or think that more people could use this way of thinking, then please email this post on (or share it on your social networks). Thanks.
