Demand the best for your career

I remember looking for work just before finishing graduate school. I poured over the lists of companies that were where I wanted to live, and dreamed a lot about what might be to work in different industries.

I remembered when several friends graduated with degrees MBA last year and the objectives for which they had.

A handsome man, tall want to be vice president of an airline. I asked him why, and he said he could become a vice president of an aircraft at a younger age than in other industries. Smiling, she also mentioned that as a single man who liked it better than young single women who work for airlines that could be met in most industries.

A married couple had more modest ambitions: to get a job in the same city that generate opportunities for challenging careers. If the city was a nice place to live, which was an additional benefit. When both won jobs in Seattle, Washington, were excited.

Another man had been a long time as a sailor on a nuclear submarine before graduate school: Any work that involves no work under the water was welcome.

All this sounds very reasonable career planning, right? Little did I know that we were aiming too low.

A recent graduate of MBA helped me see that much higher goals can be set. It was a revelation. Let me tell your story.

Ramesh Venkatraman was born in a beautiful village in a southern part of India which is well known in entrepreneurship in export products throughout the world. Accompanying his father on business travel expanded its geographical horizons at a young age. His early schooling, college and studies graduate were carried out in a semi-urban environment known for its textile exports. Having absorbed so many influences, one might think that he had entered in a race connecting back to the origins, but it was not the case.

After completing a master's degree in science, Mr. Venkatraman was preparing to join a Ph.D. program, however, he joined the Indian space program in place, expand your perspective on what can be achieved. You are probably waiting to read that Mr. Venkatraman then became an astronaut. . . but that's not what happened.

Instead, his focus turned to the land and out: Entered technology Information (IT) and began working in the U.S., gaining important skills in IT companies such as KPMG, FedEx, Compaq, BvOI, and ABN AMRO Bank. Ideally talents, quickly rose through the ranks of a project manager for the program director to vice president.

In the business world, he found many talented people who took him to raise the bar of his dreams and aspirations, both directly and indirectly using their hidden talents.

One day, he learned that a highly respected colleague was an MBA and a PhD student at Rushmore University. The colleague shared that soon moved to a strategic management function of a position of technology management, Mr and became head of strategy and planning for a leading financial institution.

Encouraged by example and desire to build on its success in IT, Mr. Venkatraman decided to get an MBA. Trust in their studies add the skills and knowledge would need to become a generous employer, who would share any wealth gained from employees and other stakeholders.

He also selected Rushmore, especially since he would have more freedom does not tailor their studies and courses to meet their personal goals. Freedom always won a lot of motivation to learn, and Mr. Venkatraman graduated a little over a year later.

Asked just before graduation than their targets for the use of Title of MBA, said he now wanted to start a billion dollar business within a short period of time. Wow! What a contrast to that goal was what my friends and I I thought that was on at the same stage in our business training.

Curious about the change, I asked Mr. Venkatraman tell me more about how they decided on this new direction. He replied that the course work in Rushmore made him realize that things were any more than they had considered before. Wanting to help others, he also began to appreciate that the greatest success was as an entrepreneur, people he can help as a philanthropist, a role to play had not thought of before.

Now he feels confident he can make an aggressive goal and is working hard to achieve. He is also considering getting a Ph.D. from Rushmore.

Naturally, few people achieve the full scale of what they hope to achieve. Often, to achieve a little less.

Even if Mr Venkatraman is well below its new goals, is likely to achieve more than you would simply fulfilling its pre-MBA goals. By learning the power to think carefully about what he wants to carry out his education served him better than mine did.

What are the lessons for you?

If you insist that the best of your career? If not, why not?

Ask yourself what could be better for your career if you strip on top. Then get to work!
