My dad used to say it a lot (albeit with a heavy Croatian accent) but Power Players know that sometimes it’s all you’ve got.
That goes double in a crappy week, where everything unravels at warp-speed, the heart gets broken into a million tiny pieces and life feels unhinged.
In any career, there will be times when it all feels impossible. Power Players are very aware of how quickly things can unspool. What sets them apart is that when things go to hell they have the capacity and mental fortitude to just keep moving. Even when they feel like curling up in the fetal position with their thumb in their mouth…
This Power Tip goes on the wall: JUST KEEP MOVING. It will save you from all of the terrible days in any career and for that matter, in your life. Even if you have to act your butt off, even if you can’t stand the thought of doing what needs to be done. Don’t over-think it. Just keep moving.
