It’s sad but true that many people leave their career growth at the mercy of their employers or bosses.
People who take ownership of their career destiny are much more likely to attain success—because once you reach out for your mojo, it reaches out for you too.
Your mojo doesn’t care whether you work in Marketing, Procurement, Product Management, Finance or the local convenience store. It simply wants to be unleashed and manifested in your success.
Unleashing your mojo starts with you and the fire of the human spirit in your belly.
Immeasurable capabilities abound in the human spirit, the same spirit that brought us the steam engine, penicillin and the internet; the same spirit embodied in Richard Branson, Michael Jordan, Adele, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates and Ellen MacArthur.
That same spirit resides in YOU.
Look how far you’ve come, how many obstacles you’ve overcome, how many mountains you’ve climbed to get to this point in your career.
And you have the potential for greater successes.
Whatever your story, whatever your background, you have the capacity to achieve extraordinary things—because you were born with your mojo in you.

Unwrapping your gift is sweeter when the work you do as you build your career inspires you and rouses your spirit. An endeavour imbued with passion and enthusiasm will always be much more enjoyable.
Of course, things may not always go smoothly, or you may feel as if you’re not progressing fast enough.
But just because things may not sometimes feel like they’re progressing to-plan doesn’t mean that things aren’t progressing at all.
There are always two plans unfolding and spurring you towards your mojo: your plan and a slicker, more intelligent version written by life. When both are congruent is when we feel the “flow” in our work.
You’ll only ever have a good chance of attaining this through your personal effectiveness—being effective in how you go about your work and career development …
