Advice

There’s nothing more frustrating than working a job that doesn’t speak to you. Whether you’ve fallen out of love with your career, or you’ve just found yourself stuck in a dead-end job you never really wanted, the day to day grind can really wear you down. If that sounds familiar, then it’s time you found yourself a good side hustle.

It’s easy to feel that your career has reached a dead-end, particularly if you’ve been working the same 9-5 for several years. Finding a good career mentor can do everything to change that but without that guidance many people find themselves stranded.

In the current job market, having the right skills is more important than ever. However, keeping up with industry demands and closing skill gaps can be challenging.

To some, building a startup company is the dream of a lifetime. To others, it’s an insurmountable challenge.

When people talk about startups they often tell stories of failure, of why so many startups go wrong and of why starting a company is a risky and dangerous decision to make. In this article, we’d like to flip that trend on its head and talk about what the successful startups are getting right and which lessons you can take on board.

Building company culture can make a huge difference to productivity but in order to do so, it’s important to have staff who are passionate and motivated.

Using your mentor’s feedback to create a personal action plan is a great way to speed up your growth and achieve your career goals faster.
