9 Career Mistakes to Avoid & 9 Habits to Grow

About this episode

The career path that we choose is influenced by a lot of factors - our mindset, goals, passion, and most especially the circumstances that surround us. We have a vision of where we want to be, but sometimes, we take a different route, we take a detour. And that’s completely okay. You can have stopovers, fill up your gas, grab a bite and quench your thirst. You can have those moments where you go astray. And you can always return to that path that will lead you to success.  In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty shares several mistakes we unconsciously make that hinder our character growth and what we can do to correct them.  Get your copy of Think Like a Monk today by clicking this link!https://thinklikeamonkbook.com/ Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 00:43 Let’s focus on what we do to make money 02:20 Three classes of intelligence 04:40 Mistake #1: We build our careers around one revenue stream 08:21 Mistake #2: Being an out and out generalist 12:59 Mistake #3: Disregarding social media 16:43 Mistake #4: Complacency 19:34 Mistake #5: We celebrate for too long or we don’t celebrate at all 22:02 Mistake #6: Over reliance on one person 23:46 Mistake #7: Just watching the competition and getting disheartened 24:28 Mistake #8: Listening to what your company tells you 24:53 Mistake #9: Don’t ignore statistics but be led by your intuition Like this show?
