I once went to an investors\u2019 workshop and do you know what I learned?<\/p>\n

That the BEST time to buy property… is when no-one else is<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In a harder market, a lot of people will stay away from buying property, worrying that it might be too risky to invest in a new house or flat.<\/p>\n

But…<\/p>\n

The people who then make a killing, and whose investments skyrocket…<\/p>\n

Are the ones who DO buy<\/strong>… and at a great price.<\/p>\n

They then wait for the market to pick up and BAM!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a proactive, long-term strategy<\/strong>\u00a0that can reap huge $$$$$ rewards.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s the same with your career.<\/p>\n

Many people make the mistake of lying low during a quieter, more difficult market\u2026<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s the *** absolute opposite of what you should be doing<\/strong>. ***<\/p>\n

Being proactive in your career, whatever the market conditions<\/em>, is always the right strategy.<\/p>\n

So what could you be doing to get more proactive?<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Update your CV<\/li>\n
  2. Update the Featured section on your LinkedIn profile<\/li>\n
  3. Schedule a meeting with your boss to talk about potential future opportunities in your career<\/li>\n
  4. Reach out to your network and update them on where you are in your career; see how you might help them too<\/li>\n
  5. Use this time to\u00a0define exactly how and where you\u2019ve been adding value<\/strong>\u00a0in the last 12-18 months and learn to talk about it in\u00a0tangible and commercial terms<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And\u00a0then<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n

    When the time\u00a0is<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0right\u2026<\/p>\n

    You\u2019ll be perfectly poised to take advantage of a brighter, more buoyant market \u2026<\/p>\n

    And you’ll snap up all the very best roles and opportunities on offer.<\/p>\n

    Because\u00a0you’ll be ready<\/strong><\/em>… whilst everyone else will\u00a0still be sitting on their hands.<\/p>\n
