One of the central themes of the Steadfast Spirit is proper self-management.
Ultimately success will be based around your ability to build networks but without proper self-management those relationships never grow or worse can become destructive. Below is one of the several types of relationships you will need to develop and lean upon.
Cheerleaders: The best cheerleader is usually your mom. My other cheerleaders are my two friends Thomas and Mac. Cheerleaders usually do not know much about your professional world but they think you ar
e great. These are the people you call when you are down because they will lift you up. This can be vital when you are having no success in your job search or feeling defeated at work.
It is important to understand though that cheerleaders are there for vital self-esteem boosts but legitimate consultation should come from feedback friends, contacts, and career investors. I’ve been known to call Thomas to feel better about myself so I can then call Marshall to give me some hard truth.
