You have decided that this. The year that will end up this great new job or finally that big promotion If you should resolutions, goals, steps, or anything else you retrieve a list of at least in my head, what they did do or do to get ahead.

You get a mentor who will do more networking and a factor in social networks. You will learn, give or take a better feedback. It is a powerful negotiator.

Even if you manage to do all these things - and what you want to do a rare person indeed - the result is not the radical change that you really want. Many small changes can improve how you want your life or you increase your bank account, especially in time. But if you really want to further your career, you need to think big. Great interest the results, something that catches your eyes that makes you stand out from the crowd: You must complete a project.

Design a project that will push your skills and confidence and the attention of his superiors in your business and industry can give a blow to his career. Get handle by e-mail, and spend more time on social networks can not.

To increase separate teams and the company in the market.

A personal BHAG can do the same.

Bozi Dar a career coach and founder of Career10X says he often advises customers that a great support to a big project "to focus, from now on something, you will want to tackle transport to your next role and become known for," said he.

How to choose a major project

It brought a lot of time and energy on the first in the project, so make the effort to determine the best for you. Brainstorming options for your career, but your passion really light not only makes sense. Remember, you are looking for in the strategy and excitement.

Do it now

The best idea is meaningless until it comes to life, of course. You have to get there.

A large project requires commitment, it is important to first this leap. They promise to get to the finish line. And then you can understand how.

Depending on how you work best, you might prefer a sketch or detailed, but probably need at least a high-level plan, the steps and contains a clear goal. The end does not mean the project can not be changed or improved - only that their goal has been achieved.

If the project has the potential to help your business, you need to discuss this with your supervisor. Ideally you will have to work together to set priorities and to rely on the support that you need from other departments. But be careful because not want to think the manager that you neglect your current or looking to take over the spotlight responsibility.
