Career Advice. Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody

Career Advice. Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody
Someone forwarded me this and i thought it was good sharing. You might have read it elsewhere but there is a career/jobs angle to it.

Why the job was not done.

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

You’ve probably see this one before, but behind the play on words, there is some great career advice. This email reminded me once again of the importance of taking personal responsibility for your career success.

If you want to create the life and career success you want, don’t be like Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. Be true to yourself. Take responsibility for your life and career success. Don’t let Everybody, Somebody, Anybody or Nobody stop you from doing what you need to do to create the life and career success you want and deserve.

Take personal responsibility for defining what life and career success means to you. Take personal responsibility for building your self confidence. Take personal responsibility for developing the career success competencies you need to succeed. Take personal responsibility for building and nurturing relationships that will help you create your career success.But as a saying goes, “Knowing is not enough. you need to act on it to be a successful person.”

Committing to taking personal responsibility for your life and career success involves action. You have to do the work if you want the career success.

I know that action can be scary. When you act, you run the risk of failing. But here is another saying, “Procrastination is the physical manifestation of fear and is a confidence killer. Act; especially when you’re afraid.”

Action is great career advice, and it gets at the heart of the little message at the beginning of this post. Everybody, Somebody and Anybody could have acted and got the job done. Nobody did. Don’t be a nobody. Do what you need to do to create the life and career success you want and deserve.

The common sense career success point here is simple. Successful people take personal responsibility for their life and career success. They don’t procrastinate. They act. They set high goals and then do whatever it takes to achieve them. Take responsibility for your life and career success. As the story of Everybody, Somebody, anybody and nobody points out, you have to act. Do what you need to do to become the career success you want to be and deserve to be.

That’s my take on the story of Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. What’s yours? What will you do to make sure you are not a nobody?
