25 Career Goals: Warren Buffett’s Advice
Warren Buffett’s advice to reach your goals for your career
With a net worth of $130 billion, Warren Buffett is one of the wealthiest people in the world.
But what is Warren Buffett’s advice to have a successful career?
“In the world of business, the people who are most successful are those who are doing what they love.” — Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett’s advice
Draft a list of your top 25 career goals. Circle your top five.
Everything you didn’t circle just became your Avoid-At-All-Cost list.
They distract you from the core of your life that matters the most.
“The people who get great results say no to almost everything” — Warren Buffett
I learned about this exercise in 2017.
My list is below, circles are bolded.
I highly encourage you to do it yourself.
It provides great clarity on how to spend and organize your time.

“There comes a time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love. You will jump out of bed in the morning. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don’t like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn’t that a little like saving up sex for your old age?” — Warren Buffett
