We will share with you what initiative looks like:
THE MINDSET EQUATION III SEGMENT 1 – What is INITIATIVE? Taking a Chance! From before we start our first job, we often dreamt about what career we wanted to have when we grew up. Soon we start the journey to find the job we want to have and discover ways to make it happen. But that’s only half the battle. Once you’ve landed the job you want, you have to know ways to not only stay in your job field, but also excel in it. The best way to predict the future is to create it.” Abraham Lincoln Initiative is something we can all use in our careers. It is what sets up apart from others and our competition. Many people are afraid to take the initiative, but if you can, you will stand out. Initiative is deep down inside all of us, but the successful ones are the ones who use it. It is important to know what initiative is to properly utilize it. Initiative is defined as the ability to assess and initiate things independently. In other words it is taking advantage of the opportunities in front of you. It is stepping up, and going beyond your typical duties. Take charge of situations before others do. You may not want to step out of your comfort zone, but usually you will be rewarded for doing so. It is thinking outside the box, preparing for success, capitalizing on opportunities. It is making changes to take a step forward and being persistent. In life, taking initiative offers personal and professional benefits. It is a positive step that anyone can take for themselves. Only you can take the initiative for yourself, so ensure you do it. Taking the initiative provides individuals with a sense of self control both in their personal and professional lives. No one is going to offer you opportunities if you do not deserve them, so stepping up will make all the difference in your life. In your personal life it may benefit you by helping you feel more confident with yourself. In your professional life it may help you get that coveted promotion. In either aspect of your life, it will promote better things. Taking initiative promotes:

You should also take the time to notice what you do differently than everyone else. Determine what makes you stand out from a crowd. Take advantage of your strengths and put them to good use.

Before any decision is made, always think about the consequences. You should think about the consequences for acting as well as not taking actions. Every action has a reaction, remember that. You need to take the time to think about various scenarios and then choose the best route of action for the scenario. Always act wisely. Initiative is important, and so is asking questions. Asking questions can educate you on how well your idea may work. It can provide you with others opinions as well as information you did not have. Asking questions allows one to make educating decisions on their actions. When asking questions it is important to consider:
Asking questions is also important, because it allows you to get different perspectives. Different perspectives may allow you to see different consequences of your actions that you could not see. Asking questions also allows you to get information about consequences from individuals who may have had similar ideas or experiences. Types of questions:

Be Persistent A great quality for employees to have is the willingness to find and look for opportunities. Opportunities are all around us. What matters is that we take advantage of the opportunities in front of us. Try with every opportunity that comes your way. Internal opportunities come and go, and you need to be prepared to take the opportunity on. Take the initiative at your place of work, and work your way up the job ladder. Nothing shows initiative like trying and taking the extra step in your job. Internal opportunities allow workers to stay at their place of work, but move to a typically higher position. One way to get your face out there for opportunities is offering help to your co-workers above, below, and at the same level as you. This shows you are a team player and work well with others. This also shows that you are able to handle more work. Typically with internal opportunities, the opportunity will require more work for you. Also it is important to make it clear that you’re seeking internal opportunities. Make yourself known and your work known. Make people want to work with you. Show that you are willing to learn and are right for the opportunities that come available. It is helpful to:
