In part 2 of this post, I am challenging you to get an anchor. The storm is coming – there is no denying this. Whether it’s an untimely layoff from your job, the passing of a loved one, or your home being demolished by a violent storm, the one certainty in life is that your ship will go through battering. I’ve learned that those who endure the many tests & trials of life are those who have a strong anchor. We have countless examples of successful people who had everything that money could buy, only to watch those lives crumble before us because those foundations were built on a shaky ground. For that critique who thinks that I am condemning a lavish lifestyle, I am not. There isn’t anything wrong with success as long as you have the character to not get swept off into the deep because of it. So, while you’re pursuing that dream job with a six figure income and that home overlooking the ocean front, make sure that your anchor holds. Make sure that you have a set of guiding principles that you will not compromise on.

What is your anchor? If an object has been anchored, that means that no matter what is taking place around it, it remains unmovable, unwavering, and relentless in its purpose. As a professional in your field of choice, ask yourself, what are your anchors? What are those things in your life that remain unmoved no matter the issues of life and the circumstances outside of your control that can negatively impact your business or personal life. We don’t always get it right and we’ve made countless errors (and will continue to do so), but in the midst of that, our commitment to integrity is uncompromising. Our core values hinge on providing an exceptional candidate/client experience that is based on trust and respect. Helping people and providing for my family is what makes all the turbulence that comes with a career in recruitment worth it. If you don’t have an anchor, then find one. Write the vision and make it plain!
