Consider the reasons why taking a career challenge is critical to your success:

• It helps you track your current activity and perspectives - in a hectic work environment, it's even more important to see what you're doing and how you're thinking.
• In the current business climate, budgets, resources and time are all stretched to their limits. Companies and managers may not have the tools to create a career track for you and monitor your success - the responsibility is yours.

A career turnaround doesn't need to happen overnight. Often, people who try to do too much in too little time can set themselves up for failure. Most of the steps outlined in this series can be incorporated into your existing schedule.

Good luck with your Career Challenge!
