Our economy is a mess, and we are in uncharted territory. Most everyone is feeling the pinch, especially if they now find themselves unemployed or wonder if they are the next one to lose their job. Unfortunately, most people put more planning into their next vacation than they do their career or more realistically their “careers.”

Four Easy Personal Branding Tips
Your personal brand, if managed and developed properly, can become your greatest business asset. Decide today to build up your personal brand, and it’ll go a long way in your entrepreneurial career. Learn how you can stand out in the crowd with these four easy personal branding tips.
Are You Building Your Personal Brand?
The term personal branding is relatively young, but the concept is nothing new. Before the advent of the social web and its many opportunities for personal branding we just called it our “reputation.” If you’re old enough to remember building your career before the Internet became social, our reputation followed us from job to job. We used personal referrals through the relationships we built to maintain our reputation. Our reputation was built by our achievements and the relationships we built throughout our career. Those relationships included our peers, bosses, subordinates, customers, trade association colleagues and people in our community.

Manage Your Career with a Definite Plan
In this competitive marketplace, do you have a personal and professional development plan for managing your career? When is the last time you assessed and explored your skills, abilities, competencies, interests, priorities and values to assure they are in line with your professional and personal goals and objectives as well as the requirements for success within your field? The economy is on the rise as is the demand for accomplished, results-driven professionals with a proven track record who can add value. Only you can manage your career so having a solid development plan for yourself with specific goals and objectives is the best way to start that process. How do you create a personal and professional development plan?

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.

How to Write Your Personal Mission/Vision Statement to Achieve Your Goals
Much like a business, we, as human beings have a purpose or mission in life. What if we spent as much time getting to know who we are and what we want for ourselves? A personal vision/mission statement is the framework for creating a powerful life. A Personal Vision/Mission can help propel you into a career change, finding a new job, or make your present job work better for you. The more connected your Personal Vision/Mission is to yourself, the better it can guide your career and your life.

Persistence and Success
Successful people commit to taking personal responsibility for their lives and career. Only you can make you a success. You have to take personal responsibility for creating the successful life and career you want and deserve. Persistence is the mark of people who are committed to taking personal responsibility for their lives and careers. Persistent people keep going; even in -- no especially in -- the face of difficulties and problems. Promise yourself that you will commit to taking personal responsibility for your life and career in 2010. Be persistent. Keep at it, and you will reach your goals
Personal Responsibility, Self Confidence and Success
Successful people commit to taking personal responsibility for their lives and careers. They also exude self confidence. When you commit to taking personal responsibility for your life and career, you build your self confidence. It's a win/win. The more responsibility you take, the more your self confidence grows. When you commit to taking personal responsibility for your life and career, you act. And action builds self confidence, unlike inaction and procrastination which kill it. So commit to taking personal responsibility for your life and career. You'll not only put yourself in charge of your success, you'll build your self confidence in the process.
Man Up for Success
Successful people commit to taking personal responsibility for their life and career. It's never too late to do so. Antonio Rocha was 18 years old and about to graduate from high school -- but he couldn't read. He committed to taking personal responsibility for his life when he pressured the New York City school board into giving him a private tutor to help him learn to read. He is a role model for all of us. He knew that he didn't have the skills to survive in the world of work, and he did what he needed to do to get them. If you want to succeed in your life and career, you need to do the same. Commit to taking personal responsibility for your success.

Personal Responsibility: The Bucks Stop Here
I could relate plenty of stories about times, throughout my career, when I failed to live up to my personal aspiration to be an inspirational leader continuously driven by personal responsibility. Instead, this is a story from early in my career when I had one of my triumphs - and started to "get it."

Career Coaching Case Study: Client Creates Work With Purpose and Passion
We are all trying to understand and cope with the enormous changes in our work and personal lives. Mostly we react in a positive and productive manner. However, many people are describing their lives as so busy, working so many hours, trying to balance work and personal lives that we often feel physically and emotionally exhausted. I work as a consulting psychologist and executive/career coach specializing in helping leaders and lawyers with work- related problems. Let me tell you a brief story about a company leader I helped with a career transition.
