Personal Mastery And Career

Personal mastery is not something that you can only to help you deal with stress and improve you confidence.  Actually, it is possible to apply mastery into you career as well.  There are numerous studies showing personal mastery to have impact on your everyday life as well as with working effectively. 

Applying personal mastery in your career development is called career mastery.  Career mastery is when you can integrate your personal development and growth to your professional growth and development.  

There are different elements for career mastery.

• Being proactive.  It is important to go after what you want.  In the application of career mastery, you need to identify your goal and take necessary action towards it.  With this element, you get to overcome barriers and limitations daily.  You do not have to overcome everything at once,  you just need to do consistent action everyday.
• Connect with others.  To effectively connect with other people or network, you need to connect with yourself first.  You get the power and the intelligence of connecting to other with how you understand and interact with the inner you.  
• Getting informed.  Being informed is not only concentrated on your existing job.  There are people who are in search for other career options.  When choosing other career options or job ideas, you need to know your options.  And making the correct decision is all about gathering enough information. 
• Being focused.  When setting your goals, you need to make decisions on how you can attain them.  The method for achieving your goal depends on your decisions.  Which is why you need to keep your focus on making the decisions and directing your career. 
• Know your potential.  It is important to know your potential and your strengths and weaknesses.  You get to take responsibility for your actions and would be able to figure what works for you when achieving your dream. 

These elements are actually there to improve the individual’s behaviour and attitude.  These basic elements can be applied whether you are working for an organization or self-employed.  Even those who are facing career choices like college students and professionals who would like to change a career can apply career mastery to be able to develop. Executives and employees who would like to make some changes with their current organization also follow career mastery. 

It is important to take charge with your career.  You have to take the move yourself and not other people should discover or promote them for you.  All throughout your career,  the five elements of career mastery will keep on popping up.  This is why it is essential for a successful person to be familiar with career mastery.

Basically, it goes down to the basic.  Do something that you love.  Successful people not only create and build their business just because for economic reasons, but because they love their business and their company.

But for some people, knowing what you want is not that easy.  Sometimes what is logical and radical is confused with something that you want.  According to Peter Senge, “ adults have little sense of real vision.”  They may have goals and objectives in their lives but these are necessarily not their vision in life. 

Achieving personal mastery with one skill and behaviour can produce remarkable results.  Changing or shifting your career as a professional or an entrepreneur is not easy.  You have to master yourself and your skills first before you start changing, otherwise changing careers would happen a lot or you would not be able to put your skill into maximum use.
