This week, I'm going to cover a topic in which I'm ashamed to say that I almost missed the boat. One of our clients asked us to create a breakout session about "Owning Your Job." And I was a little taken aback because I wasn't sure exactly what he was looking for.

After about 10 minutes of research, though, I realized that this term or phrase is an easy way to describe many of the tips I covered a few weeks ago in the How to Build Wealth three-part series.

The phrase describes making yourself more valuable to either your company or clients so that you improve job security.

So today and continuing on next week's episode, I'm going to cover what Owning Your Job means and five things that you can do to advance your career, increase your income, and have more fun at work.

An employee who wants to keep their job shows up to work, but one that excels takes ownership of their work.

What does it really mean to take ownership, though? For starters, it’s about doing more than your job description. Developing your ownership mindset will help you reach your career goals and even excel beyond them.

The good news is that we’ve compiled five ways to develop your sense of ownership of your job:

1. Taking Initiative in Your Job Will Increase Productivity and Create Opportunities for Career Advancement.
2. Anticipating Problems Before They Arise Can Help You Proactively Support Your Team and the Organization.
3. Establishing Clear Goals for Yourself and Regularly Assessing Your Progress Improves Performance in Less Time.
4. Communicate Effectively to Improve Collaboration and Teamwork.
5. Taking Advantage of Training and Development Programs Will Help You Grow In Your Role.
