The choices you make about your career directly affect your success. You reflect on whether or not your career is thriving. You make sure that your performance is 100+ percent. Just as your eyes sweep across the mirror, checking your reflection each morning before you leave for work, you decide if what you see in the reflection meets your standards.

Just as consumers will not purchase poor-quality products, companies do not want to be represented by individuals whose skills, image, experience and education are below standard.

Just as a store merchant selects superb merchandise and hires qualified associates to promote his goods to the buying public, you refine your performance so that your work is an excellent product.  When you have the training, experience and the know-how, you can practice anywhere.

Do you have enough of the right skills? Are you networking and gaining new mentors and connections? What are your most marketable attributes?

Ever so often, you may ask yourself if you are making enough money to maintain your lifestyle. You invest in training and continuing education that leads to acquiring new skills as well as improving the ones you have?

Time was when an individual could choose to stay with a company for a lifetime, eventually turning a single hiring job experience into a lifelong career. But careers today are made of several jobs-turned-into-stepping-stones that all too often lead to industry-hopping. Nowhere is this seen more prevalently than when successful careerists give up stable mainstream jobs and practices to join modest organizations in search of personal fulfillment.
