Things You Must Do To Get A Better Job And Get That Promotion

Charting your course toward a better job or promotion will involve how to acquire the requisite skills and knowing how to sell your talents. These steps tell you how to get that one position to the next but also how to get from one profession to the next.

-Be a good presenter. Learn to acquire a compelling voice, learn to enunciate clearly and project enthusiasm. Practice. Presenting is theater. Act it out, persuade, not impartial or solemn. Join speaking club like toastmasters . Scan the yellow pages and check out voice teachers and take lessons. Enroll in an acting class.

-Write well. Short, clear, crisp sentences. No spelling mistakes. Good grammar. Never dictate. Always edit or rewrite. Persuasive writing is always conversational in style, not academics. Just like you are talking casually to a friend at a dinner table.

-A talent for ideas. Read everything. Learn to read fast and digest them. Keep up with trade journals that your bosses read. Regularly check out best seller list of books, movies, music, products and ask why this? Why now? Monitor top tv shows, pick up a magazine you’ve never read before. Scan another industry’s reports. You need to tap into what’s going on in the world. Find out what the other people are up to. Browse today’s culture for signs of the future. The more you know about trends, the more ideas you generate and the further ahead of the pack you are. Innovative thinking is a tremendous commodity. To get ideas constantly clip, file, bookmark, highlight anything interesting you come across. Stay informed.

-Do more than asked. Don’t just spin the wheel , learn to go the extra mile.

-Contribute to the bottomline. Prove your worth in monetary terms. Help the company make more money more than it will cost them to pay you. If the company has a lean staff you could suggest to organize an internship program with local colleges where students would provide free help in exchange for a course credit. Bring along ideas for boosting circulation if you are interviewing at newspaper or magazine company. If you are working at architectural or law firm name potential clients you could bring and deliver.

None of these steps will help you, if you don’t put this into action . Work at it consistently until you get your desired results.

Zeroing In On Self Discipline

“He who conquers his self is mightier than he who conquers a city.” I forgot who said that line but the message stuck with me. It means have control over yourself first before you can have control over other things outside of yourself.. Private victories precede public victories. It all starts within you. Self- discipline and self control are major components if you want to master yourself. Self-mastery is a pre-requisite to transforming yourself into changed and better individual. The words self discipline and self control are enough to make you cringe. It means deprivation. It means loss of freedom. Sacrifice. Delayed gratification . But think of the rewards when you are able to discipline yourself. It’s enough to get you motivated. What separates the winners from the average people is that the winners reach a level of self-mastery accomplished through self discipline. Winners do not lose heart and become devastated by their misfortunes. They don’t become slaves to bad habits. They
