Franchises Offer Shortcuts But Not Control
Franchising can be a great way to start a business career, but you should make sure you're not just trading one job for another. Unless you plan on being an absentee owner, which I highly discourage, you are going to be working in the business just as an employee would, so be sure the business you choose doesn't turn your lifelong dream into a never-ending nightmare.
Mentor and Be Mentored: Both are Critical to Success
When you reflect upon your career, do you have a mentor that has played a role in your professional and/or personal development? On the flip side, as you have advanced in your career, have you taken the time to mentor others whom you have worked with and/or managed? Having and being a mentor are two of the major milestones during one’s career. Mentoring is a critical part of managing a successful and sustaining career.

Self Confidence, Mentors and Success
Successful people are self confident. Self confident people surround themselves with positive people. They find mentors to help them build their self confidence. Mentors are positive people because they are willing to give of themselves to help others succeed. When you’re looking for a mentor, look for someone who is highly skilled, is a lifelong learner, is respected by his or her colleagues, has a positive outlook on life and is willing to provide you with direct, constructive feedback. When you find the right mentor you won’t have to go it alone on the road to career and life success.
Successful People Never Stop Learning
Successful people are outstanding performers. Outstanding performers remain outstanding performers by becoming lifelong learners. They continually expand their knowledge in order to get out in front of the pack and stay there. Begin your lifelong learning journey by focusing on your strengths and working to improve them every day. Building on your strengths is easier that overcoming your weaknesses. When you build on your strengths you can make incremental improvements. However, if you have a glaring gap in your skills, address it now. Don't wait to take necessary quantum leaps.

Louis L'Amour, Albert Einstein, Lifelong Learning and Success
Successful people are outstanding performers. Outstanding performers are lifelong learners. Lifelong learning is really important to creating the successful life and career you want and deserve. Remember what Louis L'Amour says, "There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning." Treat each new day as an opportunity to learn. Stay open to new people and new ideas. If you do this, you'll come to realize that you are never finished learning and that what you learn after you know it all is the most valuable knowledge you'll develop.
Hard Work and Success -- One Follows the Other
The point here is simple -- and sobering for those who are looking for career success shortcuts. Be willing to go the extra mile. Create custom resumes for every job for which you apply. Once you get a job, work harder than others. Volunteer for unpopular jobs -- and then do a great job. Yes, if you want to become an outstanding performer, it's important to be a lifelong learner, set and achieve high goals, and get organized. But it's also important to do something a lot simpler -- and totally in your control; be willing to work hard. Hard work will help build your brand and put you at the top of the promotion list, and bottom of the layoff list.
