What would happen if you went to work, your same ‘old’ job, today or tomorrow which ever day it is for you, and you treated it as if it were your first day?
What mind frame would you put yourself in? Would you be on time? Would you stay a bit late after your shift? Would you dress sharp? Would you measure your words? Would you put your best ‘foot’ forward?
Like attraction, success is created – it doesn’t “just happen.” Here are some pointers to keep you fresh as a lemon!
– Master Your Language Skills: Learn the jargon spoken in your business and use it. The collection of expressions and buzzwords will help you to communicate quickly and effectively with co-workers. Avoid speaking the jargon when communicating with people outside your profession they may not understand it and will be more irritated than impressed.
– Seek Out Successful Mentors: Network, network, network. Don’t be afraid or too arrogant to seek out help and advice.
– Work Hard to Hone Your Craft, Learn Your Task and become the best at it!
– Create Your Success – Don’t Just Wait for it to Happen – It Won’t
– Success Is In The Details: Arrive on time; return phone calls and e-mail messages; respond to memos; stay organized; follow through on job-related commitments; and be a team player.
– Be Willing to Be Prepared
– Set priorities, goals and deadlines and stay focused.
– Learn the art of making small talk with people at all levels of the organization.
– Resist the temptation to join the gossip mill.
