CAREER SUCCESS
time in the morning and potentially cause you be late the night before. • Wash your clothes and pick out what you’re going to wear.
• Iron whatever you need to. • Make sure you’re able to locate your shoes, pants, shirt, badge, wallet, keys, pens, stamps, etc. and put them in one spot so you can grab them and go.
• If you take lunch, pack it and have it ready to go. • If you need gas in your car, fill it the night before.
I can’t begin to count the
number of times I’ve been late to work simply because I didn’t spend 10 minutes the night before to plan and prepare for the following day.
A little self-discipline, planning,
preparation and designing our home life to work for us instead of against us goes a long way in our careers. Look at your home life and
determine what you can do to make it better so it works in your favor and doesn’t take away from your ability to show up on time, do your job, and be great at what you do.
Our home life should fit
together like a puzzle piece with our work life and we should be able to smoothly transition from one to the other.
Marc Summers’ passion is to help people become better aircraft mechanics. He says he has been fortunate to have had
success as an aircraft mechanic, made a lot of money, and become pretty good at what he does — but he didn’t get to where he is by not messing up and not looking like an idiot.
Summers says he paid the price for it by making his share of mistakes, losing multiple jobs and dealing with a lot of frustration along the way. Instead of seeing these negative experiences as failures in his mind, Summers learned lessons from them so that he can pass the knowledge and wisdom on to fellow aircraft mechanics.
His Web site,
AircraftMechanicTips.com, and eBook How to Be Successful as an Aircraft Mechanic not only teach people how to survive, but how to thrive as aircraft mechanics and have the aviation careers they actually want.
Summers wants to help aircraft mechanics perform better, stand out, remain employed, make their jobs much easier, and learn how to avoid making the same mistakes many mechanics across the aviation industry are making.
