Great Work, Great Career

A great career is all about solving great problems, meeting great challenges, and making great contributions. Satisfaction is found in providing meaningful service and giving yourself to the needs of others. “A great career requires both of these dimensions—the desire and skill to contribute and a character worthy of the trust and loyalty of others.”
A great career:

1. taps your talent,
   
2. fuels your passions, and
   
3. satisfies your conscience.
   

Change your mindset. Understand that your mentality is governed by your thinking and your actions. Adopt a solution mind-set. Recognize the opportunities around you and then go after them. Create authentic relationships with the key people around you. Support each other.
Build your village:

1. Identify the members of your village:
   There are two kinds of people:
   1. Those you serve and support
   2. Those who serve and support you
   
2. Create an emotional bank account:
   The amount of confidence and trust there is in a relationship
   
3. Practice synergy.
   

“The energy you invest in regularly and frequently building your village will pay dividends not only in advancing your career but also in personal satisfaction.”
