Career Success is enhanced by the Career Design Personal Career Service which is a unique service to benefit ambitious executives, professionals, high achievers and other specialists who have found their careers temporarily halted by the prevailing economic conditions in the UK.

Career Counselling is the service I provide for my clients when an individual needs confidential guidance and help with areas of their job role and possible career movements or changes which may result from job loss or redundancy.

It is only available by monthly subscription (£249.00 + VAT per month for 3 months - cancel any time) and is limited by the number of people with whom I am able to work at any one time, to ensure the most effective personal contact and support. Would you like to talk to me first about your career success issues? You can call me for a no obligation discussion on +44 (0)1270 881811 (UK Business Hours) Or email peter[@]careerdesign.co.uk

Failing To Succeed Is Not Acceptable

Have you ever held back from doing something because of the possibility of failing to succeed? It's not unusual because most people have done just that. None of us likes to fail or feel that we’re ineffectual, weak or lacking in any way and that’s exactly how failure can make us feel. But when it comes to regaining your career position after redundancy or layoff, are you not trying in case of failing to succeed with winning a suitable job that enhances your career success?

Because you are a professional lawyer, accountant or company director, you may not have found yourself having to look for a new job before; your career was assured by your professional status. However all that changed and many people just like you are now in the marketplace, wondering how to get a new job. And that can be a difficult place to be when such confusion is completely alien to you.

Failing to succeed will not be your intention, but you may find that you start listening to those who whisper that "you've no chance, there are no jobs..." or other people who mean well but say "you're over 55, you may as well retire...". The professional career support people and outplacement specialists seem to conspire against you even while they are coaching and counseling you: "it will take you at least nine to twelve months to find a job at your level..."

You may find yourself being lulled into a state of passive acceptance, especially if the jobsearch proves to be difficult; failing to succeed is when you say "oh well, they were right after all..." Career success comes form denying any thoughts of failure to germinate in your mind.

Failure Doesn't Exist

However, I want you to know that failure doesn’t exist - until YOU say it does. In my view failure is merely a PERCEPTION.

If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. If you believe you can’t handle the pressure of achieving your career goals, then you can’t. Failure can only exist in a receptive mind and the moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

But what if you never do that? What if you can find the determination and inner commitment to continue working toward your goals, one step at a time for as long as it takes? There’s no failure then, is there?

Failing to succeed only occurs if you are prepared to accept failure. This insight should be very encouraging if you’ve been working toward goals and not yet seeing positive results. Simply commit to your goals, keep going and you cannot fail!

Three Tips To Stay Focused

Never give yourself a way out. Most people do this without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on achieving their goals, UNTIL the going gets too rough or their motivation dwindles. Don’t do that! Commit to making your goals happen, no matter what! Develop a Churchillian attitude: Never quit, never contemplate admitting failure, and never lose your inner determination.
Don’t get hung up on a specific timeframe for completion. It’s okay to set a general timeline, but be aware that some circumstances will be beyond your control, so you can’t say for sure when your goal will be achieved. If you do that, you’re just setting yourself up for failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed, but then take it a day at a time and focus on making progress, career success is not just about reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.
Finally, be sure that you don’t view obstacles and setbacks as failures. The two are completely different. An obstacle, setback or delay means only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. It simply means you’re not done yet. You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way around or through the obstacle.

Now, can you do all that on your own? Of course you can. But even the highest performer benefits from a coach and mentor and sharing your progress with someone who is also committed to your career success, spurs you on and shortens the time to eventual success.
