1. Be persistent. Don’t just accept a no. Go after your goal with polite, passionate persistence. ACTION: Were you recently turned away from something you want? Reassess your approach and try again in a polite, genuine manner.
2. Define your strengths. Find the intersection between what you enjoy doing, your natural talents, and your skills. Then, look for opportunities that match those strengths. ACTION: Take the course Discovering Your Strengths on LinkedIn Learning.
3. Create a personal learning fund. Continued learning leads to new opportunities and growth. ACTION: Set a monthly contribution budget for your personal learning account and use it to invest in your ongoing education.
4. Admit when you don’t know something. It’s better to admit you don’t know something than to pretend you do. ACTION: Ask someone experienced in a new skill to help you learn.
