Take risks, mind what you wear and understand people you work with. These are some easy tips to achieve success in the corporate world
The world’s most beloved lawyer, Harvey Specter, is back with the season 4 of Suits on Comedy Central India. Harvey is still the epitome of coolness. From working in a mailroom to being a name partner at law firm Pearson Specter, there is a reason why Harvey always wins. Here are a few lessons that Harvey teaches us:
Turn your dreams into goals:
Dreams are imaginary life desires, whereas goals are well-thought and realistic. Be it being the youngest senior partner at Pearson Hardman or pushing off Daniel Hardman and Edward Darby to become a name partner at the firm, Harvey has always had a clear and focussed approach towards achieving his life goals. Dreams are important but it’s essential to plan your life and set rational goals for yourself to achieve that ultimate dream.
First impression matters, appearance matters:
Be it through your first impression or your general appearance, your personality is always being judged by others. Harvey gets that. He is always wearing a neat three-piece tailored suit and also instructs Mike to get some good suits from his tailor. A good first impression and solid appearance is a key contributor to how you are perceived by others, leading it to be an important factor in determining your success.
Hard work is inevitable to achieve success:
You may be a born genius or a smart player but success cannot be achieved without working hard towards it. Be it reaching office at 7:30 am or his innumerable late night meetings, Harvey has been earning every bit of his title at Pearson Specter.
loyalty always pays off:
loyalty is a personality trait given utmost value by the best of leaders and people, including Harvey.
Understand the people you are in business with:
The game is won by playing the man and not the odds. At some point or the other, you are going to come short by just applying the expected logic because everyone does that. It’s those who build strategies understanding the person they are in business with that come on the top and take home the well deserved victory.
Don’t play by the rules, take risks:
Planning to play it safe, take the easy routes and earn great life resultsIJ Think again. There’s a reason it’s said — rules are meant to be broken. Harvey has never believed in playing by the rules, he has always aimed for big results and taken calculated risks to achieve the same. Nearly everybody in life will take the expected steps — it’s only people who make a path for themselves who achieve great success.
Self confidence is most essential:
In this cut throat world, many will question you, judge you and even put you down from time to time. You need to believe in yourself, your decisions and your capabilities. Self confidence is the most essential element to success.
