8 Tips to Becoming A Successful Businessperson, From MBAs
Who doesn’t want to be more successful?
Many of the world’s most influential people have one thing in common: an MBA.
Sheryl Sandberg, George Bush, Shaquille O’Neal, even TV chef Ina Garten—they’ve all got one.
It seems the course lends itself to any walk of life, as long as it’s success that’s on your lips.
1. Know yourself
"Self-awareness is key to one’s success,” she says. “You need to objectively evaluate where you are in terms of skills and achievements, and where you want to be, what drives your ambitions and—most importantly—how to transform and develop yourself to get there.
“Sometimes, taking a step back to reflect on your career and retrain yourself might prove pivotal for long-term success."
2. Promote yourself
Much of the knowledge and hard and soft skills you gain from earning your MBA is applicable across many industries. You become more skilled and versatile.
3.Tackle the status quo
"It is not our talent, education, or skills that lead to guaranteed success in business. People with a rigid mindset, those who believe that the current paradigm stays forever, are much less likely to flourish than those with an agile mindset,”.
“Even subtle changes should propel you to question the status quo and be ready to adjust and adapt in order to thrive."
4.Grasp every opportunity
You should embrace compelling opportunities early on in your career, even if you’re not certain of the outcome or how to execute a specific project.
“Try to set realistic and achievable goals every day that are aligned with your job description, and grab a coffee with your boss to seek feedback early on.
“Gathering an understanding of your organization’s vision, tackling problems, and presenting solutions are very important habits to establish your credibility.”
5.Plan ahead
"Look at your post-MBA career as an extension to your MBA,”
“What skills, experience, and network do you want to obtain that will get you to the next level? In addition, it’s an opportunity to solidify your brand after graduation. Similarly, to how an MBA can significantly alter the direction of your career, so will your post-MBA job."
6. Persistence, persistence, persistence!
: “Be ready to stumble and try again. Your career is a journey with ups, but also many downs.
“You need persistence; be ready to take a hit, then get back up and try again. Embrace failure and use it as an opportunity to learn and improve. Success does not come easy; it takes consistency and a lot of determination.”
7. Use your peers
“In the ‘pre-job phase’, it is crucial to deeply reflect on your strengths and weaknesses. Don’t be afraid to ask others
“Then, work on mastering your strengths. It is more important to sell your strengths before trying to improve weaknesses. In the ‘job phase’, take any chances that come up (even if they don’t fit into your original plan), then deliver! Delivering consistently will boost your visibility, allowing you to choose better opportunities in the future.”
8. Grit and determination
“Think about any successful business person and all of them will have one thing in common: grit.
“This will probably have the biggest share in your secret sauce to success! Perseverance and passion for what you are doing is crucial. During the MBA, you will be stretched in ways that you hadn't been before, especially if you are currently in your comfort zone, or an expert in your field,” he says.
“You will have to discuss subjects that you may have never heard about, talk to people more experienced than you, and continue to grow to get to the other side. But enjoy the ride: in the end, you will have one of the best experiences of your life!”
