Is Your NEXT Move Your BEST Move?

 

Truly, making the NEXT MOVE is a no-brainer.  Everyone will take that one, sometimes effortless.  BUT WHAT makes things interesting [and challenging] is HOW to endeavor making your NEXT MOVE YOUR BEST MOVE.  LIKE the graduating students, all focused to end their academic term with aplomb.  LIKE job market rookie trying to leave his mark with his best interview performance.  LIKE the swooning lothario trying to make his best foot forward as he impresses on wooing his dream girl📗📙📘

SO HOW?  Practical guides I absorbed through the years is for me to get CLEAR and be CLEAR enough on WHO I am, WHAT my value is, and WHAT kind of stuff can you bring on the table.  If we're talking about the job market and workplace, you can add, WHAT kind of environment do you want to work in and maybe WHAT specialization do you want to purpose, if at all you DON'T want to end up as a generalist.  These were my IDIOT'S GUIDE as a novice out there.  Obviously, I am sure of the outcome in life if I did NOT have that IDIOT's GUIDE handy for my reference💧💧💧

So, it is imperative that we buckle down and master certain tracks as we take those NEXT MOVES in life.  HOW often have we seen people WHO get stalled instead of taking that NEXT MOVE?  I witnessed recurring and quite pitiful situations WHERE I felt they wasted precious time [and sometimes momentum because it gets lost and dissipates simply WHEN things get stalled]💥💥💥

Knowing your position and situation is first and foremost the given.  And part of mastering your position is learning to figure out WHERE you need to go, WHAT you need to do and WHEN do you want to make your NEXT MOVE.  In the professional workplace, counsellors do advise us to be strategic enough to catch the stakeholders' attention.  And once you have mastered your role and refined your skills, it's time to put yourself in position to go after your next move.  To do that, you have to understand WHAT your goals are so you can get on the radar of the relevant stakeholders [be it at the workplace OR in business].  Just DON'T MISS your BEST NEXT MOVE😌😌😌

Our takeaway:  Here's a sage advice I'd like to cascade down the line.  IF and WHEN you started your SEARCH for your NEXT BEST MOVE, just DON'T settle.  The key thing in making OR taking your NEXT MOVE as your BEST MOVE is to be patient and remember that finding that BEST MOVE is to be crafted with precision [and timing no less].  Otherwise, we will end up with regrettable WHAT IFs.  LIKE WHAT IF I just make a MOVE now, and I'll think later if that is the BEST MOVE?  Blunt rebuttal here is that once you MISSED THE BOAT, you never know that WHEN the NEXT BOAT comes, it may NOT be the BOAT that should be the platform of your NEXT MOVE, dude❗❗❗
