How to Make Your Success Plan for Your Career
Introduction Planning is one of those things that is both essential, but daunting. It's essential because just like a vacation trip needs a map to get to the destination, so does a career, but it's daunting because most people don't actually know where they want to go in their lifetime. Time and time again I have asked people the simple question of "What are your goals in life?" and I get either a blank stare of "How dare you ask the question," or the person tells me they've never thought about it. Very rarely do I get someone to answer with a detailed plan; so in this article, I will be discussing the steps required to make a successful plan for your career, as is often discussed in the Jordan Harbinger Show.

Smaller Isn't Always Easier
I've been producing short films on and off since 2005, and coming off the back of my first feature film and going back to a short (albeit one of half-hour length, so not your typical short film project) I can say that just because a project is small in size, doesn't necessarily make it easy going. There's a misconception that features are more difficult, and more worthy of your time, but short films come with their own challenges, that if met head-on, can be really rewarding.

5 Reasons to Never Compromise on Punctuality
When you get comfortable, it’s easy to get sloppy. You stop caring as much about the little things and at first, it seems like that’s fine.

How a Successful Business Works
For the longest time I yearned for something better, something more than my daily 8-4:30 grind at the Microsoft Online Store. Even after they shirked me out of a $30,000 bonus, I still plugged away for them, spending my days resenting them for pulling my bonus yet still selling their product because there was security in it. There was security knowing that I would get paid on Friday and that my bills would then subsequently be paid, and as such, my son would continue to have a roof over his head and internet at his fingertips.

Little Miracles
So I am about to get really personal here. I am not even sure if I should be on this site. It all boils down to two things: one—will I even get the amount of money that they appear to promise, and two— should I even be writing for the sake of money? In all seriousness, I do not want to write for the money alone. Writing specifically for money is a big no-no for me because, in my experience, that sucks all the flavor from the writing. When writing for money, the writing itself can become tasteless and bland because of the weight of everyone's expectations—it's like preparing the perfect meal: when you have too many different seasonings, it all becomes too much.

Work-Life Balance
When I first started working; what now seems so very long ago... there was nothing at all in my mind leading me to believe I could work too much. I wanted to work, I had become bored with school, I was not learning anything, and just needed to experience the world as it was. I needed to learn the things of life, I wanted to break free from the tyranny of my parents' regime, and become my own person.

Job Searching
Sometimes, life seems to trap us in this mindset where we think we're stuck, and while you may actually be stuck, you should realize that you don't have to be. For me personally, there's always this point in the morning when I'm reflecting on how I've been living my life recently, what I could do differently to help the day go smoother, how I can be helpful to others as well as myself, when I realize that I'm doing the best that I can. While this helps me feel like I'm visualizing where my day could go, it never takes me anywhere. It's because I'm so focused on this feeling that I'm stuck, and this "I can't do this without acquiring this thing first." And while in certain situations these things are true, I realize I create the reality that I'm living. I let myself get here. So, whenever I'm down, I start watching inspirational videos like "Stop searching for your passion" in my spare time and I write in my spare time. While these things can be helpful in self-exploration, they aren't benefitting my life immediately. Obviously, that's not what these things are meant to do, but it's because I spend so much time and focus on these things, that I don't get much productivity done that benefits my wallet. I try and that's all I do.

Don't Rely on Your Spellchecker
Weather you are posting a page to your Website, writing a letter or sending an email to a customer, or submitting an article for publication, it is extremely important for you to demonstrate how professional you are. Not only does a series of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors show a discourtesy to your readers, it makes you look amateurish. Potential customers will lose any trust that they may have had in your business. Only a week or so ago, I read a classified ad asking me to visit their "sight"—needless to say I did not bother. If someone does not take care over their advertising, how reliable is the rest of their business?
