Those who never plan will be run-over by those who do.


PLAN

... HOPE for the BEST but expect the worst...

What’ s the worst that can happen?


The Brutal Facts

Job is not a career. Career is a way of life.

“... A field for or pursuit of consecutive progressive achievement, a profession for which one trains and which is undertaken as a permanent calling...”

“... Something that has to be done; a regular remunerative position...”


The Brutal Facts

You don’t have to love your job.

...many young people get confused by Confucius...

LOVE the OPPORTUNITY that you have a job


The Brutal Facts

There is NO job shortage.

... Job shortage is A LIE.

... People create jobs...

... There is SHORTAGE of people willing to take a job.


The Brutal Facts

A C.P.A without a J.O.B.

Overworked but underpaid

Unemployed again

Underemployed

Unemployed


The Brutal Facts

It’s a JUNGLE out there

STARting it Right...

S – SET your goals

T – TIME each accomplishment

A – ACT on it everyday

R – REVIEW and revise, if needed



SET your goals

Own it.

Who you are and what matters to you the most.



SET your goals

Is your goal like this: finish college, find a job, get married, have children, retire. And in between, work, work, work.?



SET your goals

Find your PURPOSE.

... Why are you here?

... to bring world peace, to end hunger, to discover the fountain of youth?

... Your heart’s inner most desire.

FIND your biggest WHY (the fuel to your passion)!



SET your goals

Your career is not your PURPOSE.

... It is just a mean to an end...

... It is a path on which you will travel through life to meet your divine appointment.



SET your goals

Why do you even need me here?

S. M. A. R. T

... Is being SMART good enough?



TIME each accomplishment

Set

Progress

Evaluate

Revise

Career never ends...

It simply shifts...



ACT on it everyday

Gimme... Gimme... Gimme...

Don’t just “Ask.” “SEEK” and “KNOCK” as well.

Accumulate competence, not years.

... How can I make my work better today?



ACT on it everyday

Your career is your responsibility

Career seldom exceeds personal development

...increase your “employability” rather than your employment mentality

Keep Learning. Books, Seminars, Conferences, Mentors.

... Grow yourself 1% better everyday and you will be 30% better after a month



ACT on it everyday

Soft skills are hard skills...

...you can easily solve for “x” in an algebraic expression, but you can never truly find the meaning of a handshake...

Never ignore the power of the unspoken words.



REVIEW and revise, if needed

The wind has nothing to do with the direction of the boat. It’s the sail.

... Instead of pursuing our big dreams, we just shrink it to fit the small image of ourselves.

Track your action steps. USE a Planner.

“What you cannot measure you cannot control.” “If it is not written, it is not done.”



REVIEW and revise, if needed

S.T.A.R.

BE.

DO.

HAVE.

Expectation

Realit

pointment GAP



T- to complete your starT

Being a STAR is not enough to starT

T – TRUST in GOD.

“Trust in the LORD with all you heart; and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.” (Prov. 3:5-8)
