Commitment to your career success is one the four success principles I discuss in my latest career success coach book Success Tweets.  Staying committed to your career success when things are going well is pretty easy.  Staying committed when things are going poorly can be more difficult.

Yesterday was a holiday in the USA.  A lot of people had the day off.  I was traveling.  I had to get from Denver to Boston because I am facilitating a cross function team building session today. 
I usually work on planes, but because it was a holiday I took some time for myself and read a novel, Primal Threat by Earl Emerson.  Earl is a little known, but great, writer.  I enjoy the stories he tells.
Interestingly, I found some career advice on the final page of the book.  The protagonist had survived a forest fire, …

Today is Martin Luther King Day in the USA.  Dr. King is a personal hero of mine.  He did a lot to promote racial equality and harmony in this country.  I am old enough to remember watching his “I Have a Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial live on television.  It was August 28, 1963, two weeks after my 13th birthday.
Here are some excerpts from that speech…
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be …

Career advice based on baseball may seem to be a little strange this time of year.  The college football season ended a couple of days ago when Auburn beat Oregon for the National Championship – although I think the folks at TCU might beg to differ about who is the national champ.  The NFL playoffs are in full swing – not to mention that basketball and hockey are in mid season.

One of the ways to tell if a blog is catching on is the number of requests for guest posts it gets.  Lately I’ve been getting a lot of requests from folks who are interested in providing a guest post for this career success blog.  That pleases me.  Keep those requests coming folks.  I appreciate them.

This is my last career advice blog post of 2010.  I always take off two weeks at the end of the year to celebrate the holidays, to visit family, to recharge my batteries and to prepare myself for the coming year.  I will begin posting again on January 3, 2011.  Happy holidays to you and your family.
