TENENTS TO CAREER DEVELOPMENT

 Define your goals
 Define the requirements of your goal
 Create your career development plan
 Review regularly & follow through


Defining your goals
 You can’t reach goals if you don’t have them.
 Think about your biggest dream, your 5-year plan or your
10-year goal – whatever seems realistically achievable
and measurable to you.
 Defining your goal can indeed be difficult, but it’s a
critical step.
 This is often the hardest part of the career planning
process.
 There is a lot of self-assessment and job market research
to be done to properly develop your goals.
 When defining your goals, keep in mind that they may
change over time – and that’s OK. The most important
aspect is to have them written down.


Define the requirements of your goal
 Next, define the steps you will need to take in
order to achieve the requirements to be qualified
for your goal.
 Record the skills, knowledge, experience,
education and network that you will need to
develop to become the ideal candidate.
 Not sure where to start?
 Review existing job postings to see the preferred
qualifications of employers for that role, and write
down where you do not yet meet the qualifications.
 Many of our clients also look at self-employment
as an option, which this can apply to as well, but
the measurements may be slightly different.


Create Your Career Development Plan
 This is where your career planning process becomes
more visible and solidified
 Stay objective and analyze the steps you will need to
take in order to go from Step 1 (where you are now)
to Step 2 (the requirements of your goal)
 Create mini milestones that you can achieve within
specific time periods that are appropriate for your
goal and needs (ex. 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2
years)
 Make sure to schedule supporting activities into your
calendar and force yourself to make time for them


Review Regularly & Follow Through
 Set aside a regular time to actively participate in the career
planning process, and schedule it on your calendar to ensure
you do not forget
 Review your plan quarterly (at least)
 Don’t let changes in your path or goals set you back
 As long as you’re regularly making progress and reviewing
your career development plan, you can make quick changes
that reflect changes in the job market, technology or your
interests
 If you properly engage in the career planning process by
creating a formal career development plan, you’ll be ahead
of the game and prepared to reach your goals. If you need
help with your career planning and want to speak with an
expert, feel free to reach R4K / ADEL for a deeper insight.

currently being supplied.

Levels of Entrepreneurial Development
Level One: The Self-Employed Mindset:
 The emotional driving force behind the self-employed
person is not security but a desire for greater control over his
or her life, career, and destiny.
 They want more autonomy. They want to do things their
own way. And they usually begin by creating a situation
where they do the same type of work they did while an
employee, but they figure out how to do it by themselves
and for themselves.
Level Two: The Managerial Perspective:
 Those with a managerial outlook are often in a great position
to succeed as entrepreneurs, expect for two big
misconceptions that lead to massive problems.

Level Three: The Attitude of Owner/Leader
 Knowing how to step aside and let the business – and those
employees working in it – operate as a profit center not
reliant upon the owner’s constant hands-on participation
 This kind of entrepreneur has created an organization that is
more self-sufficient and self-sustaining, and by doing so has
created more wealth, personal freedom, and free time.
Level Four: The Entrepreneurial Investor
 With a business that generates profits, the entrepreneur
who has succeeded this far can begin to accept another
exciting challenge, that of managing money so that it
works to produce more money
 Create a franchise

Level Five: The True Entrepreneur
 Having learned new things and evolved through various stages of
entrepreneurial accomplishment and insight reaching the ultimate goal.
 The true entrepreneur experiences a paradigm shift that involves a 4step process of changed thinking:
# 1: Idealization – Imagine gigantic, all-encompassing dreams for
creating the ideal world.
• #2: Visualization – Picture the ideal world as a reality and begin to
clarify this vision on a daily basis, filling in more details each day.
• #3: Verbalization – Begin to put words to the dream and talk of it as
if it was already happening.
• #4: Materialization – Because the effort and intention of designing
and believing in the ideal and the dream, things begin to fall into place
and happen in a natural and automatic way.

Characteristics Essential for Entrepreneurs
#1) Confident: Confidence is a hallmark of the entrepreneur.
Many confident women and men gain their sense of self esteem
and faith in their ability to greet challenges by acting – even
when they lack the confidence – and then gaining strength and
belief in themselves by seeing the results and gaining the praise
and respect of others.
#2) Feels a Sense of Ownership: Taking responsibility for getting
things done – and doing them with care and attention – means to
act like an owner: Solution based
#3) Able to Communicate: Entrepreneurs recognize that the most
important part of any business is the human element. HR–
whether in the form of clients, employees, or strategic partners –
are what makes or breaks a business, and communication is the
key to successful relationships with people.

#4) Passionate about Learning: Entrepreneurs are often
“autodidactic” learners, which means that much of what they
know they learned not in a formal classroom setting but instead
on their own by seeking out information, asking questions, and
doing personal reading and research
#5) Team Player: Those who go into business for themselves but
do not utilize teamwork wind up without the team but still have
all the work to get done
#6) System-Oriented: Like mathematical formulas, good systems
allow us to reproduce great results every time – with less and
less exertion of energy or resources.
#7) Dedicated: Entrepreneurs dedicate themselves to the
fulfillment of their plans, visions, & dreams, and that tenacity of
purpose generates electricity throughout the whole organization

#8) Grateful: Being grateful for what we have open us up to
receive more, and one reason that is true is because those
who are grateful appreciate what they are given.
#9) Optimistic: A positive outlook is essential for the
entrepreneur. Past shortcomings, failures, or
disappointments are relegated to the past so that they
cannot continue to haunt the present or obstruct the future.
#10) Gregarious: Because business is all about people,
entrepreneurs tend to be socially outgoing. They get
excited about sharing ideas, products, and services, and
that excitement is contagious to their employees, clients,
friends, and other contacts both within and beyond the
business sphere.

#11) A Leader by Example: Entrepreneurs not only lead
themselves through self-motivation as self-starters who
jump into tasks with enthusiasm, but they are also skilled
at leading others. They know the importance of teamwork,
and they understand the need to appreciate others, support
them, and reward them accordingly.
#12) Not Afraid of Risk or Success: Many people could be
successful if they only took chances. And many people
who do take chances and become somewhat successful
find the realization of their dreams an overwhelming
possibility, so they sabotage their continued success by
retreating back into a comfort zone of smallness.

IMPORTANCE OF SAVINGS &
INVESTMENT

BUILD TODAY THE
WORLD OF
TOMORROW

SAVINGS & INVESTMENT
 Savings refers to that part of income which isn't consumed
 Investment means an addition to the stock of physical
capital
 Savings and investment are two crucial economic variables
by which we can measure a person’s physical quality of
life and standard of living
 Saving money as early as possible will help one and his
family to achieve more stable life than someone who has
no savings
 Warren Buffet: If a person has to become a millionaire at 65,
then he has to save $10 per day if he is at the age of 25. Saved
amount of money generate 8% returns per year. This example
shows the importance of savings in one’s life.

IMPORTANCE OF SAVINGS
1. To meet unexpected expenditure in life
2. Savings act as an inducement for investment
3. Makes a feeling of rationality: Every normal human
beings are rational in behavior.
4. Children’s education: One of the most important things a
person can do is to educate his children.
5. Achieve a feeling of self reliance: A habit of savings give
people the ability to enjoy independence and power to do
things.
6. 6. Security of the family: Everyone fears death. So they
are always aware of the stability and security of their
family. It forces them to save a portion of their income.
 .

INVESTMENT
The act of committing money or capital to an endeavor with
the expectation of obtaining an additional income or profit.
1.Putting your money to work for you. Essentially, it's a
different way to think about how to make money.
2.Growing up, most of us were taught that you can earn an
income only by getting a job and working. And that's exactly
what most of us do. There's one big problem with this: if you
want more money, you have to work more hours
3.However, there is a limit to how many hrs a day we can
work, not to mention that having a bunch of money is no fun
if we don't have the leisure time to enjoy it
