Will You Add? - An Entrepreneur's New Year Resolution

Take command of your career and don’t rely on others to manage it for you.The Internet has made it very easy for job searchers to rely on other people to manage their careers, usually with limited results.Here are some suggestions to ensure you take command of your career:1. Don’t rely on other people to run your job search for you.A recruiter doesn’t work for you, they work for any client company that pays them to find staff.

Most people don’t like change. It means having to re-adjust routine, change habits and throw your order of process into upheaval. You are leaving your comfort zone. Most people don’t want to do this, so those people fail. Even when that change could mean something GOOD people balk.Internet marketing is no different.

I have heard this saying from just about every successful business person I know:If you keep doing what you’re doing . . . you’re going to keep getting w
