You ever wonder how to succeed more in your career, how to work on your self-growth and live the dreams and goals that you want to accomplish. I'm here to help you on the journey.

What is career development?
Career development is the process of making decisions for long-term learning to align personal needs of physical or psychological fulfillment with career advancement opportunities.
Here are some examples of increasing your development for your career:
1.Work On Goals That Matter
This means working on the things that achieve the most goals. Not fixating on subjects or distractions that further you from reaching them.
2.Use a Reliable Personal Organization System
To be organized throughout your day and know what needs to be done efficiently.
For example: When I first started writing for my blog I used to be all over the place without any organization. I would write for 10 minutes, hop on Pinterest and create pins. Then back to writing, and then studying things that wouldn't benefit me until the future.
3.Learn to Earn More
By this, it means to learn what you need to know. To improve your career in the place that you are at now.
4.Maintain Focus on Results Rather Than Time
This is a big one for me because I believe more in attention management. I write about it in my article here: 10 ways to AMP up your personal Productivity.
Basically, it means to focus on what you are doing. You can spend 3 hours doing something for your career, but if you are more focused on the time, you are not going at it 100 percent.
So pro tip: set an alarm, put it away, and deep focus.
Here are some examples of career development:
Continuing Education
Participation in professional organizations.
Research.
Improve job performance.
Increased duties and responsibilities.
Approaches to professional development:
Skill-Based Training.
Job Assignments.
