Friday's Rocket Fuel: "Try On" You, Inc To See How It Feels

By Larry Boyer, Career Coach & Personal Branding Strategist

On Wednesday we talked about how changing your perspective from being an employee to being a business partner or startup could transform your work life (see Career Development: The Power of Perspective for You, Inc). Over the weekend explore how you can change your perspective to see yourself as a business partner or startup with the firm that pays your salary. If you have time consider both perspectives.

Pay attention to your responses. Do these suggestions seem unreasonable? Silly? Empowering? Ask yourself "Why do I feel that way?" Am I holding myself back from success because of some limiting belief I have or assumption about how work should be?

A change in perspective can result in greater job satisfaction, personal satisfaction, colleague engagement and as a result greater career success.

Our point here is that the work world is changing and much of what you've been taught or even experienced is no longer true. To be successful you need to change your perspective too.
