Career Success is a culmination of individual experiences and lessons learned that are quilted together.

There are those who never connect the patches of development, making intentional choices and overcoming their fear to grasp the reality of success. Rather, they see a random and purely chaotic scene of reacting to job offers, jumping on new opportunities and never stepping back to assess the critical factors of career happiness. Success never lands on you without reason or fortitude. It can be grueling, difficult and time consuming to put your development as a professional as one of your top priorities. The pay off can be HUGE.

Consider the following strategies to harness your career potential:

1. PACE yourself. Take a new class, find an online course and learn something new daily.
2. Recognize the value of colleagues and spend quality time having lunch, a cup of coffee, a round of golf or Skype. Be available.
3. Learn to use technology to your advantage.
4. Study the resources your community offers and take advantage of them when possible.

Enjoy the journey of developing your career by recognizing there may not be a shortcut to arriving at success but take advantage of all the scenic beauty.
