All of us are procrastinators to one degree or another. Mark Twain offered this piece of advice: "Never put off ‘til tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow." Things you put off today may never get done. We often put off tasks that we don't enjoy or tasks where we've failed in the past. A successful job campaign requires many daily tasks like calling your contacts, reviewing job boards, reading the want ads, adding people to your network list, mailing resumes, making appointments, etc. We need to schedule important tasks so they don't become part of the procrastination pile on the corner of our desk. Successful People Are NOT Afraid of Failure Successful people know that nothing ever goes exactly as planned. And no matter how hard you work, sooner or later you will face the reality that you failed. You didn't get the job you wanted. You didn't get the raise you deserved. During a job campaign, one of the most difficult tasks is cold-calling employers for an interview. No one likes to hear "no" over and over again. Dealing with rejection is just down right tough. Successful job seekers look at a "no" response as just one less call that needs to be made before hearing "yes." Failure is okay. It's part of life. It should be expected. But the bigger question is: What do you do next? What do you do after you failed?
