The Power Of Career Planning

Have you ever wondered why some developers seem to skyrocket in their careers while others don't?

It's not just about coding skills.

There's something more that sets them apart.

For me, it was the career development plan.

Having a clear career path could be the key to your success.

It's time to go beyond relying on your company for career growth.

Learn how a well-planned career roadmap can open doors to opportunities you never knew existed!

Following are the high-level steps.

  1. Create a long-term vision - Where will you be in 1, 3, 5 and 10 years

Most people overestimate what they can achieve in a year and underestimate what they can achieve in ten years.- Bill Gates

  1. Plan quarterly - pick the top 2-3 things to focus on & achieve every 90 days

  2. Review your plan weekly - pick 5 weekly actions toward your quarterly goals

  3. Take daily actions - plan your day and pick your top 2-3 tasks daily

The steps are simple. Executing it daily for 90 days and beyond is hard.
