Career EDGE Comprehensive Edition

SUCCESS TIP

I require my clients and leadership group (the highest ranking staff

members of

Career

TEAM) to carry their key objectives with them at

all times. You should, too!

One of my favorite examples of forecasting your

future achievement comes courtesy of the actor

and comedian Jim Carrey, who as a struggling

young comic in Los Angeles, wrote himself a

check for $10 million, dated it 5 years ahead and

wrote on the check, “for services rendered.” He

carried the check in his wallet from that day

forward until movies like A

ce Ventura: Pet Detective

The Mask

and

Dumb and Dumber

escalated his per movie fee to over $20 million!

When Jim’s beloved father died in 1994, he honored his dad and

biggest fan by placing the fake check into the coffin. The lesson:

Conceive it, believe It, and you will achieve it!

You can avoid procrastination by being focused! Answer the following to help

you find your focus.

1. What are your general interests? Are they related to people, information, sports or something

else?

4. Do you like responsibility or would you rather have someone else be in charge?

5. Do you have an aversion to following directions or being told what to do?
