Stay on Track
By: Harrison Barnes


Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes discussed the importance of staying focused to our lives and careers.

According to Harrison anyone can get started on the road to success and a life of fulfillment but the real task is staying on the path of success. Because once you get on the path there are always multitudes of people out there who want to knock you off of that path. People do not like other people who could possibly be perceived as better than themselves. The more successful you get the harder it gets to stay on the path, and the easier it is to go astray.

Staying on track can make a giant difference in the quality of your life. No one is going to be there to keep you on your mission and this is the most important thing you must realize. You have to stay focused even amidst the myriad distractions of people and life.

When you start doing really well you begin to see a lot of people close to you acting very irrational. A lot of this is due to the fact that your success is threatening to them. Allow them to be irrational but do not allow it to affect you. Do not stress about it.

Everyone has a spirit within, which drives him or her to do great things. The prospect of something bad happening often holds us back, and on the sidelines. But there is nothing glorious, fulfilling, or memorable about spending your life on the sidelines. You need to run the race, and once you start running you need to stay on track.

Forbes Reports 151,352 Layoffs for January Itself; Employment Authority Proposes Alternative Job Search Approach

Pasadena, CA — According to a compilation by Forbes recently, there were 151,352 layoffs at America’s 500 largest public companies in the month of January. MORE


"There are always vacancies. Organizations are born, organizations expand, workers become restless, quit, change jobs, move, become ill long-term, or become handicapped, retire, or die. There are always jobs out there waiting to be filled. The fact that you can't find those jobs only means the vacancy hasn't been advertised, or you're not using the right method to find it. When the Internet or job-postings, or agencies, or ads, or resumes, don't work, there are other ways of turning up the job you want. So, if you're coming up 'empty,' you need to change the search method you've been using. ... To speed up your search for one of the jobs that are out there, go after many different organizations, instead of just one or two."
