Career Goal Setting:
Nothing Great Was Ever Achieved Without Enthusiasm





Try to make enthusiasm central to your career goal setting. Enthusiasm is infectious.

Often those around us catch that sense of passion, causing a multiplying and magnifying effect.

Of course whilst being enthusiastic is highly desirable, having an enthusiasm is something entirely different.

It’s far easier to love what you do (see Do What You Love ), if you can apply an enthusiasm to your career.






When properly developed and applied, an enthusiasm can get you a long way. However this knowledge and passion must be in an area of value to your work, otherwise it’s really a hobby.

Think about developing a specialism relevant to your work. Preferably one which inspires you.

So what are you enthusiastic about?

The key to developing a career built around your enthusiasms is knowledge:


Career Goal Setting Enthusiasm



When thinking about your career development, consider the importance of enthusiasm. Becoming an acknowledged leader in a field which enthuses you may make you a happy worker. Don’t forget though, fostering your colleagues’ passions, wherever possible, could also make you a happy manager.

Spare a couple of minutes to watch Tom Peters stressing the importance of enthusiasm and passion in business....




In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm!"
