The day when I started writing on self help, DIY and self improvement, I realized that my life is entirely different than others. There is no place of being unsuccessful is there in my life, as I will have to find out success in all the failures of my life, as I will have to set examples for others.

Many people ask me this question that how to get success in professional life or how to get professional success? To be very frank, the world has changed into a competitive place these days, and you need to give your best to achieve the success in your life be it personal or the professional one.

We all do start our professional career with so many desires; we all think that one day we will be able to reach to the top post in our domain. We all do want to become a successful professional in our life.

In general there are only a few people out here who are being able to reach to the goal set by them. Most of the people fail to reach to their desired position.

Did you ever realized, why?

Why so many people fail to reach to their desired position in their professional life?

Why some people become so successful in their professional life?

After all what sort of qualities do they have, which makes them so much successful?

Well, don’t worry; they don’t have anything special which you don’t have. You too have everything which can make you successful.

You might ask me then, why am I not being able to be so successful?

The reason why you won’t became so successful in your professional life or the thing which differentiates between you and those successful people; is the determination and passion towards achieving their goal.

How to Get Success in Professional Life?

Read on this blog of mine to know more about how to achieve the professional success in your life.

Be Determined

Well, you think about reaching to the top post in your domain, but did you ever realize that you yourself are not at all determined about reaching there?

The young generation is keener towards enjoying their life than to think about how to get success in their professional life. Though I am not blaming anyone, but then it is a fact. They use to party hard, and want to live a life king size, but failed to think about how to improve themselves further to achieve their goals.

Be Passionate

Determination along with passion becomes the deadly combination. No one will be able to stop you to reach to your goal if you determined about it and then become passionate about it too.

See, no work is small or big; you just need to take it seriously. Whatever you do, just bring the best from your inside to make the thing perfect. I know saying this is quite easier than doing, but then I can say one thing, if you can be able to implement it in your life no one will be able to stop you.

Hurdles will definitely come in your life, you will have to accept defeats as well in your life, but then those hurdles should not have the ability to stop you. No matter whatever will happen in your life, you should not ever deviate from your determination and passion.

Commitment towards Learning New Things

Commitment along with determination and passion is another thing which is very much required in your life. Commit yourself to learn new things about your profession and believe me no one will be able to stop you then.

Commitment towards your spouse is okay, but then you also need to be committed towards learning new things in your industry. It will always help you to be prepared for any unwanted scenario in your professional life.

I always say one thing; you never know what can happen to your life in future. On a sudden you might found yourself jobless, the thing which will then help you to come out from this situation is your knowledge about your trade and enhanced skills.

I have faced this situation in my life twice and both the time my learning ability only helped me to recover.

Be Ambitious

Some people say that being ambitious is not a good thing. I say the opposite. Why not?

After all if you won’t be ambitious, how will you be able to go ahead?

Always remember, that being ambitious is a must to achieve success in your life, but mind it that your ambitions should not force you to do anything unethical.

I would never suggest anyone to do anything unethical in their life, just to get success. You don’t have any rights to play with someone else life just because the other person is coming in between your ambitions.

You might say that how can I say these things?

Well, I can say those things because I have faced those things in my life. I have been faced to be crushed by someone else desires, so many times in my life.

But then, it never stopped me to go ahead towards my goals. Always do believe that at the end you will win and those who utilized some unfair means will definitely pay for it.

Learn from your Mistakes

One quality which you will find in almost all the successful people is their ability to learn from their own mistakes.

If you too can be able to learn this, believe me you will soon become a gem.

I am not saying that you are not perfect, but then it is also a fact that no one is perfect out here. We all do some kind of mistakes in our life. But the best quality of a good human being is that they will realize that they made a mistake, and they would never repeat the same in their life.

Be Flexible

I say this all the time that life is made of ups and downs, some people will have more ups than downs, but no one is here who don’t have downs in their life.

If you really want to achieve success in your professional life, then one of the best qualities which you need is to be flexible enough. You will have to remain flexible to adjust with hurdles, and situations.

See every problem in our personal or professional life always comes with a solution to it. I already have written this line in so many blog posts of mine, but then I do believe on it so much that I cannot help me to stop myself to share the same again and again.

If you won’t be flexible enough, you won’t be able to find the solution to the problems in your life.

Soft Skills

These days if you really want to get success in your professional life, you must need to possess a special quality of soft skills inside you.

To be able to success in your professional life, you just need to express yourself so that other persons will be able to understand things properly. You must need the ability to communicate well with others at your work place. No matter if you are writing a mail to your colleagues, or senior or you are in a discussion, you must need to communicate properly.

Help Others

One of the things which won’t be reduced after spending it, is the knowledge. If you really want to get success in your professional life then you must need this quality of sharing your knowledge and helping others.

I am not saying to help others in cash or financially, but what I want to say is to help others with your professional knowledge, but then always be alert and not allow anyone to take benefits from your helping nature.

You should know where to put line.

Positive Nature

I already mentioned in one post (how to deal with negative people) that negative people at work place are normally disliked and ignored by others.

A positive attitude and enthusiasm is always required to make your goal possible and objective to achieve easily.

Being said this; I would like to warn you all one thing. If you are from India then believe me these things won’t be able to reach you to your goal.

How to Get Professional Success in India?

You would never be able to reach to the top post over here in India, or if by any chance you reached there too, you won’t be able to sustain over there, if you do possess all the above qualities only.

What things do we need to become successful in professional life in India?

I am sure you must be thinking about it. Let me explain you what things do people like me lack.

The thing which you need to be successful in India is your buttering ability and the ability to take profit from other knowledgeable guys and girls. If you can be able to do buttering of senior persons, and if you do know how to play politics with your team-mates, or colleagues, then only you will be able to get success in your professional life in India.

In most of the cases, in India, you will find the companies to be a one man show. Every company would have a management board to decide about managing things, but then if you ever get a chance to reach to that management board you will analyze that the board is meant to take decision what the same one person is deciding.

All other so called managers, who unfortunately reached to that level, by a continuous effort of many years of doing buttering, will always say Yes-Yes to whatever that one person will say. No matter if the thing which that CEO, or MD is saying is totally hard to make possible, still the boss is always right theory will be implemented over there.

In India if you have talent, then it will have no guarantee that you will be able to reach to the top of your career. If you really want to achieve professional success in India then you will have to implement these two things:

1. Never Show your Ability

No matter, how knowledgeable you are, or you know how to do the things in a cost effective manner, or in an easy way, never utter a single word. Just do whatever your senior is asking you to do, and in the same way in which he or she wants you to do.

If you can have this ability then you can be able to come into the eyes of your seniors very soon.

If you don’t, like I don’t do this thing in my entire career, I have a person inside me, who always poke into the bad things or decisions of the management board, and which makes me a culprit all the time; then you will have to face so many problems in your professional life.

Well, the biggest issue with all those crappy managers out here is that they actually don’t have much knowledge about their own field, and this thing brings fear inside them, as they know if a knowledgeable person will enter into their kingdom, their truth will come out. And you all know, they don’t have any scope outside of the company in which they are working from so many years. Thus they all will come united against you and try to demoralize you so much, that either you will quit or you also will become similar to them.

I decided to quit so many times.

You might say “loser” to me, but I am happy that I cannot do those things.

2. Start Buttering

You should know this art; otherwise you will be a failure like me.

You should know how to do buttering, and who should be your ideal target to do so 🙂

So other than all those qualities which I mentioned above (no matter if you don’t have any of them), if you do have mastery in those two things (mentioned above), then it has huge chance that you will soon reach to the top management.

Don’t believe me?

I know all my Indian friends will definitely believe me 🙂 and will support me too, though would not like to accept in publicly 😉

Jokes apart, but believe me if you do have all the above qualities of being determined, passionate, commitment, flexible, ambitious, positive attitude and learning from your mistakes, you will soon found that you will be able to achieve your goals in your professional life. Other than all those there is one more thing which is very much required in your life and it is patience. Also read patience, the secret behind a happy life.

Other than these if you do think that you have some other tips then please don’t hesitate in sharing the same so that our readers will also be able to take benefit from the same. Also please do let me know your feedback for this blog post of mine.
