Control Your Environment
By: Harrison Barnes



Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes, in a webinar discussed the importance of developing the ability to control your environment.

Your sanity, success, and happiness in the world are directly proportionate to your ability to control your environment. Likewise, your effectiveness in the world is largely based on the level of control you are able to exert over your surroundings. Some people are controlled by their surroundings and others control their surroundings. The person who experiences a constant stream of bad luck is the one who is unable to control his surroundings whereas the person who thrives in any environment is the one who is in full control of his surroundings. When we say someone is ‘competent’, what we are essentially saying is that he has the ability to control his environment and what happens around him. 

Controlling your environment is among the most important things you can do. People who are exceptional at their jobs and in their lives are generally able to control their environment and to resist being controlled by their environment. Control of your environment starts with you and you show your ability to control your environment by the way you dress and carry yourself. Just as an organization’s success depends on effective control, (control of their workers, their expenses, and their products), your own ability to succeed in your career and life depends on your ability to control your environment, and to not be controlled by it.




Client Testimonials
"Working as a paralegal for the past ten years while taking care of my kids, I have found it hard to get my foot in the door for more serious positions. I thought I might have been presenting myself poorly, so I paid for a resume edit. The new version was so different and more detailed than my original. If only I had thought of this stuff ten years ago! Thanks for helping me with this. After completing coursework for my degree this term, I think I may finally be able to land a new position."
