4 WAYS TO HELP YOU MOVE PAST AVERAGE

2019 is around the corner and I feel it’s a good time to reflect on changes and improvements we want to make in our personal and professional lives. I want to share a section from one of my favorite developmental journals, the MyTaughtYou Journal from Myleik Teele. She shares how you can’t afford to be and stay average if you’re looking to places personally and professionally. I 100% agree!

Below are 4 quick ways she suggested can help us move beyond average:

  1. Double check your work – A small typo could be the difference between you and someone else (equally qualified) getting an opportunity.
  2. Research – Soak up as much knowledge about everything as you can! Go to museums, listen to podcasts on topics you normally wouldn’t and watch documentaries. The more you know, the more well rounded you become.
  3. Get Feedback – Check in with people around you to ask them how you’re doing personally and professionally. Ask other what they think about your work and if there are opportunities for growth.
  4. Forgive yourself quickly – We will all make mistakes and disappoint ourselves professionally and in business. It’s going to happen, but when it does, you have to acknowledge your part and move on!

I’m making the decicion to live 2019 by going the extra mile personally and professionally. How are you stepping thing up in 2019? Let me know in the comments below!
