This is a series of posts that uses a quotation by a famous person from history to make a point about career management. Take a moment to reflect and see whether you can start using this wisdom as you start managing your career.

William James said:

“To change one’s life: start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions.”

Proteus Career Management says:

“If you want to change your career there is no better time to start than right now. Start now and pursue it with a passion to completion.”

The lesson? “Don’t procrastinate.”

Dr Mike Warren says:

Don’t be an “I’ll just” kind of person! One of the greatest problems that most people have when it comes to getting things done, making a change, starting something new and even getting on with routine tasks is that they take the reward before they do the task. The classic example is, “I’ll just have a coffee and then I’ll mow the lawn/do the washing up/give Molly a ring.” Not too serious perhaps, but if you let it become a habit it will seriously compromise your working life, your career and your work/life balance.
