[GIVEAWAY] What are the five pillars of success and how will you apply them in your own career?

The 5 pillars are dreams, goals, learnings, plans and actions. I will be taking time during this covid-19 situation to reflect on my dreams- whether they make me happy, excited, a bit scared, and make plans and milestones to reach my goals! This will hopefully help me better plan my career path!

Dream, Goal, Learning, Plan, Action

Find your dream, know your goal, learn skills to get there, plan for the future and take actions!

5 pillars - Dreams, Goals, Learnings, Plans, Action - It's an interesting approach, thanks Coach Felicia and Clara.

Dreams: To offer practical solutions for enhancing business processes (maximise revenue, minimize cost) / for persons.

Goals: Short term - find opportunities to interact, find out about process limitation and issues, suggestion solutions and link up resources to them. Long term - to make it a ongoing relationship (not one time) with target company/person

Learnings: Also thinking of incorporating technology into these solutions but I am not trained in IT (e.g. programing, data anlytics).

Plan: To identify what are the available constrainst/pain points within job scope and company processes and share some insights with management. Hopefully later would be able to be like an independent consultant/coach to pass on the skill to others (haha, like Coach Felicia) in later years.

Actions: to attend IT, presentation skills courses during circuit breaker period!

The five pillars are:

Dreams, Goals, Learning, Plan and Action.

How will I apply them?

1. Dream - After my final exams, I plan to sit down and seriously think about my career. What are the hypotheses I have about various careers and what is achievable for me.

2. Goals - SMART: To start of, I plan to reach out to 20 different professionals in the field of analytics and organize a short call with them. I plan to spend exactly 20 hours over 5 days to work on a personal analytics project.

3. Learning - What do I want to learn? Beyond technical skills, big picture thinking and development of soft skills and networking capability. How? Linked to (2), where I am to craft messags for 20 professionals.

4. Plan - Consistency is key. I plan to reach out to someone every 2 days, and followup 3 days after. I will use an excel sheet with conditional coloring. Beyond that, the body is the temple of the mind. I will continue on my habit of 15 pullups and 100 pushups daily.

5. Action - heading to linkedin to reach out now!
