Career Success, the 48 Cs

Catalyst: The Reason for this Book

A career starts from an employment, a self-employment or an apprenticeship. Oftentimes, it starts small and is seemingly insignificant, but if properly nurtured, it grows into something adventurous, satisfying and worth living for.

Or, it can get stuck, sometimes for a long time, lost in the desert of routine, surrendered under the whip of fear, or tormented by the emptiness of a purposeless eternity. It needs a reboot.

Catalysts increase the rate of chemical reaction. It is the same for a career. To increase the rate of success in a career, it needs catalysts. Whether you are starting your career or you need to reboot your career, you need catalysts.

I listed 48 characteristics of career success. Use the Cs (all starting with the letter C) as catalysts for your career success.
