Becoming a high-flier is something that practically anyone can do with the right approach to work. You don’t necessarily have to be particularly gifted. But if you apply yourself consistently and never give up, you will almost always wind up getting to where you want to go.
In this post, we take a look at what becoming a high-flier takes and how you can go about it.
You Stay Organized
First and foremost, high flyers are always organized. They impress the people around them with their meticulous approach to their work. Every little aspect of their day is categorized, compartmentalized and scheduled, giving everyone else in the office confidence in their abilities.
You Connect People
Another sign of a high-flying person is that they are an individual who brings two other people together. Their value is in linking people, building networks, and formulating a set of new relationships.
You Are In The Right Field
You can have high flyers in virtually every industry, but they tend to be more common in some than others. For instance, medical professionals tend to be high flyers. Graduates of institutions, such as PhlebotomyU, tend to go on to have fantastic careers. It’s not uncommon for medical salaries to exceed $200,000 per year, particularly for general practitioners, phlebotomists, surgeons, and anesthesiologists.
You Are Passionate About What You Do
The definition of passion is working hard on something without feeling stressed by doing it. It’s when you love an activity so much that it doesn’t matter that it’s late at night or time to go to bed, you still want to do more. Passion doesn’t require things like willpower or drive. It’s all about your desire to continue doing what you’re doing.
You Have Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is similar to passion, except it’s more about sharing your excitement about what you do with the people around you. You’re enjoying work so much that it spills over onto others and they start looking to you as a source of joy.
You Are Competitive
While the majority of your career is spent cooperating with other people, you will need to be a little competitive if you want to be a high-flier. However, the top people never compare themselves to those around them. Instead, they improve on themselves, being the best that they can be, and then bringing their A-game whenever they show up for work.
You’re Focused
When it comes to focus and attention, you need to get the balance right. Being laser-focused is good in some situations, but you also want to have periods where you allow yourself to have broader consciousness as well. It’s not just about performing a single, highly technical task extremely well. You also need to pay attention to the context, the people around you, the general culture, and how others are reacting to your actions.
You Demonstrate Self-Control
Lastly, high-flyers have self-control. They understand that nothing in life comes without sacrifice. They eat well, sleep early, and avoid spending excessive amounts of time with people who do not serve them.
Be safe out there.
