Career plans get derailed very easily if :
You don’t really buy into your goals
Your goals are not SMART
Your career plan is not compatible with your life plan & lifestyle
It is static and does not change along with your situation
It sits in a drawer
You get complacent or lazy
You are not aware of external factors which influence your career plan (people, corporate shifts, the economy)

Moving on up: get started
Documenting or drawing your career plan is the first step; now put it into action
Get a sponsor or mentor and make sure you believe in your plan
Take a step – book a course, meet someone new, open a savings account
Learn from your actions. Be honest!
Take another step
Revise your plan
Live the life you desire; have the career you deserve
