I do what I do just for the sake of just helping people, without expecting any thing back. It would be nice, if I received a "thank you" note or a card for my birthday. When is my time going to come?"<br /><br />Life pays dividends back to you based on the deposits made to the <strong>Good Will Bank</strong>. You may not receive anything from a person you help. No recognition, No thank you, no birthday card. Like any investment, the time we put into helping people pays dividends in the form of opportunities placed in our path from other people we meet.<br /><br />The trick is recognize each opportunity as a withdrawal from the Good Will Bank. The more we do for others, as a deposit into the Good Will bank, the bigger the withdrawal in the form of opportunities coming your way.<br /><br />When was the last time you sent a thank you note or sent a birthday card to someone that helped you, encouraged you or just plain made you feel good about yourself?<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" >You have to Give to Get? Then give some more. . .</span></strong><br /><br />Forget about what you did for someone and they did not appreciate it. <strong>Move on</strong>. Keep your deposits steady in the Good Will Bank. Then you make your withdrawals at the least expected moment when opportunity knocks.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370373187167792355.post-45172191738219884182022-10-22T04:16:00.001-04:002022-10-26T07:06:01.915-04:00Video: 12 Fearless Strategies To Pay For College and Graduate Debt Free<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

Tuition, room and board, parking, lab fees and other expenses put constant pressure on paychecks and set up students for years of lingering loans. According to the U.S. Department of Education, undergraduate students at four-year institutions paid an average of $13,927 per year for tuition and fees in 2012.For certain segments of the population, however, a number of unique opportunities exist to help defray these costs. Fortune 500s, state governments, advocacy groups and other entities with educational interests offer scholarships to students based on merit, need and/or personal characteristics. Microsoft’s “Blacks at Microsoft Scholarship”, for example, offers qualifying African-American high school seniors up to $5,000 per year to complete their undergraduate education. </span></span><a href="http://www.accreditedschoolsonline.org/resources/college-scholarships-for-minority-students/" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold;">READ more . . .</a></li>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><br />You can actually ask for a raise any time you want. <span style="color: #660000;">No way</span> . . . <span style="color: #000099;">Yes way</span>. This is one of those rules that is not in the employee handbook. Oh, there is something in there about performance reviews; when, why and how they happen. It's usually written to be ambiguous, open ended and uniform for "fairness" throughout the organization. This allows managers to have a very wide latitude in determining who, when and for what reasons a raise is given. It gives managers the authority to make judgment calls. <b>With that single thought in mind, who says a person can't ask for a raise in between those predetermined times.</b> How about a raise right after your 3 month probation of starting a job? How about a raise every 8 months, instead once a year etc.)?<br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b>Warning:</b> <span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: yellow;">If you're satisfied with what you currently earn, based on the work you do, then read no further. If 35,000 people say it can't be done and 1 person achieves it, who's right?</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>The hardest part of asking for a raise is just deciding to go for it</b>. <b>It's just that simple.</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="color: #990000;"><b> </b></span><br />Asking for a raise is not exclusive to employees. Self employed consultants or companies that provide services to a client can ask for a raise, as well. Why? Because it's another unwritten rule we are made to believe does not exist. If it were in writing, then everybody would ask for a raise whenever they determined they deserved one. Now we can't have that, can we?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><b>Don't Even Dream of Asking for a Raise . . . <span style="color: red;">Verbally. </span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><b><span style="color: red;"> </span></b></span><br /><span style="color: #000099;">If you ask for a raise verbally, it makes "No" come faster than "Yes". A verbal request isn't taken as seriously as a written request. This type of sensitive conversation "never happened", if it is not put in writing. A verbal request for a raise provides too many opportunities for Mr. Excusitist to appear. Putting the request in writing still may not be enough to get you closer to "Yes". Unless you take time to analyze, plan, and document before putting your request in writing, asking for a raise is usually a disappointing exercise in futility.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><b>Analyze</b>Perform a self assessment covering the period of time since your last review/raise. Carefully review your job description or scope of work. Answer the questions below. It's crucial to be honest with yourself. Ask yourself: </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">1.</span></b> Have I exceeded the expectations on each responsibility assigned to me?

<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><b>Plan</b></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><br />The time to ask for a raise can be tactical in execution, but it doesn't have to be. Since there is no set rule for asking for a raise, timing has no set rule either. Give yourself at least 3 month intervals, before making your case each time. Be prepared to negotiate your pay raise. Ask for more than you are willing to settle for. If you want a 10% raise, ask for a 15% raise. Similar to haggling with a street vendor, this leaves room for negotiating. Never give away your bottom line. If you only end up with 5%, you're ahead because you received a raise before the rule book said you were supposed to get it Try it again in 3 more months. <a href="http://coachingcompass.blogspot.com/2004/09/anything-is-negotiable.html">Anything is negotiable</a>. <br /><span style="color: #990000; font-size: 180%;"><b><br />When are good times to ask for a raise?</b></span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><br />- During a hiring freeze. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">- When you and your manager are getting along well. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">- When 3 months have passed since you last raise/review. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">- When someone in your department gets laid off or leaves. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">- Right after you or your manager comes back from vacation. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">- Have you been voted employee of the month? </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">- When your manger or co-workers give you credit on a project well done. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">- When the department or manager receives recognition. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">Any time is a good time, as long as you do your homework to prepare your case. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><b>Document</b></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><br />Insure you have enough documentation to back up your request. I never try to waste brain power trying to remember anything I can look up. Keep a journal. Every few days or once a week, make entries of accomplishments. Exceptional things that happen at work or whatever you feel will help your cause in requesting a raise over the next 3 months, is what you enter into your journal. The journal also covers you, in cases where deficiencies may be identified by your manager. The journal may indicate you were doing a particular task or project which is why you could not complete the task being questioned. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">Regular journal entries will make it easier to justify, in writing, why you feel you deserve a raise. If all you do results in a "No" anyway, have no fear. Develop the attitude of the <a href="http://coachingcompass.blogspot.com/2004/09/worlds-greatest-sales-people.html">world's greatest sales people</a>. Then try again in another 3 months. After all, no one ever died from hearing the word "No". The person saying "No" figures they probably won't hear from you again, until it's time for them to do your performance review. This is another unwritten rule. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;"><b>Ask yourself</b> "Based on my current performance and accomplishments, Do I really deserve to have to wait a whole year for a raise?" Who made up that rule?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;"> </span> </span></div>
<div align="left">

1 week after starting a very lucrative technology consulting assignment at <a href="https://jobs.jpmorganchase.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #827be9; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">JP Morgan Chase</span></a>, I was thrown into the lion's den. The managing director of my team started me off with a huge task. He wanted me to get another operations group to take certain responsibilities off our group's plate. He mentioned it was an ongoing feud, in which the operations group refused to help us. I knew there was a lot at stake, especially for me. My assignment continuing was now to rest on negotiating a settlement.
And here I thought I was hired to resolve technical problems with computer servers. I thought to myself "I didn't sign up for this". I was annoyed with the Director for giving me this task. I didn't even know the people in this problem group. They didn't know me either. This was a tactical advantage, I realized just before meeting with this group. We had no history with each other. So no one knew what to expect. (continued below video).

<span style="color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.701960784313725); font-family: "source serif pro" , serif;">I entered the meeting room by myself with 6 people from the operations group obviously ready to rip me to shreds. After brief introductions, the lead person, named Dedra, began going through a laundry list of tasks they already told my director they would not do. After she finished, I thought to myself for what seemed like an eternity. In reality, I only paused for a few seconds and said: "now that we agree on what your operations will not do, what are you willing to do?” Dead silence, some people scratching their head and dumbfounded looks exchanged among the group. They were disarmed, because they weren't expecting me to be agreeable to their demands.
By the time the meeting was finished, they had agreed to all the tasks, my director previously couldn't get them to take on. He was floored when I reported back to him. He just couldn’t believe I accomplished in one meeting, what no one else in his group was able to do for months.

<b style="font-weight: bold;">6. Backup Connections To Feed and Prune Your Network</b><br />
Experience has shown it is a great idea to back up your LinkedIn connections. Should any unforeseen event make your LinkedIn connections unavailable online, they can always be referenced through an offline spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
More importantly, you can upload the back up copy of your LinkedIn contacts to a LISTSERV type mailing list (i.e .<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a data-mce-href="https://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp" href="https://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Constant Contact</a>,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a data-mce-href="http://mailchimp.com/" href="http://mailchimp.com/" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Mail Chimp</a>,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a data-mce-href="https://groups.yahoo.com" href="https://groups.yahoo.com/" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Yahoo Groups<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></a> <a data-mce-href="http://www.aweber.com/" href="http://www.aweber.com/" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">aWeber</a> ) I use<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a data-mce-href="http://electricembers.coop/services/" href="http://electricembers.coop/services/" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Electric Embers</a> as my email distribution system to share information with people in my network. Unlike those people who think their LinkedIn connections are really interested in receiving personal updates on your career, you can<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight: bold;">share information of real value via direct email</b>. Used properly and sparingly, email allows feeding, nurturing and engaging your LinkedIn connections. A great example of sharing valuable information is 18 year old successful business professional and entrepreneur,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a data-mce-href="http://marcguberti.com" href="http://marcguberti.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;">Marc Guberti</a>, who has almost 300,000 Twitter followers.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a data-mce-href="http://marcguberti.com/2016/05/my-may-2016-monthly-performance-report/" href="http://marcguberti.com/2016/05/my-may-2016-monthly-performance-report/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;">Check out Marc's recent monthly performance report</a>, which he emails to people in his network. While explaining what he has been up to,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a data-mce-href="http://marcguberti.com" href="http://marcguberti.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;">Marc</a> also<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="underline" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><b style="font-weight: bold;">shares actionable information</b></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>people in his network can use for their own success.<br />
<br />
DO NOT use your regular email system to communicate with your LinkedIn contacts as a distribution group,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="underline" style="text-decoration: underline;">unless you want to get blacklisted</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>as a spammer.

<b style="font-weight: bold;">8. Vanity Domain Be Thy Brand Name.</b><br />
With almost 450million members, I'm sure you will agree LinkedIn gets its fair share of promotion and free advertising. Much of that promotion comes from LinkedIn members sharing their<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight: bold;">very long profile link</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>that looks like http://LinkedIn.com/in/Your Name/6543216. Although that's nice your name is part of the LinkedIn link, it's not portable nor memorable, in terms of people easily remembering that link to connect or reconnect with you, after an interaction. Do you think anyone will remember your LinkedIn profile link, if they want to get in touch with you in the future? <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
For about a $20 investment per year you can purchase a vanity, branded domain name www.YourName.com, which you can point to your LinkedIn profile.<br />
For example, clicking a business associate's domain www.TianaKReid.com takes you to the LinkedIn profile of Tiana K. Reid. Ms. Reid tells me people do take notice with her branded domain name and branded email address Tiana[@]tianakreid.com on her resume and business cards.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b style="font-weight: bold;">The Magic Of Having Your Own Domain Name</b><br />
When you buy your own domain name your branding visibility increases by 100% In the following ways:</div>
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; orphans: auto; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">www.YourName.com becomes your instant web site, with LinkedIn doing all the work for you.</li>
<li style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">When anyone types www.YourName.com into a web browser that person is transparently taken to your LinkedIn profile.</li>
<li style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Placing www.YourName.com on your resume contact info makes you stand out as a professional business person to be taken seriously in being considered an asset to the potential employer company.</li>
<li style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">You position yourself for elevating your brand another 100%, if you decide to acquire a vanity email address</li>
<li style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Having a branded domain name makes the search engines (i.e. Google, Yahoo etc. ) your best friends. Expect that recruiters, talent scouts, human resources, hiring managers or key decision makers will Google your name. What would they find now. Google your name to answer that question. Having a branded domain name increase s your Internet presence in being more visible.</li>
<li style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Having www.YourName.com makes a better impression on a business card, instead of the long LinkedIn address link no one will remember.</li>
<li style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">www.YourName.com can be placed in your email signature. </li>
<li style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">Be Found When People Look For You. People will find you easier when they type your name into a web browser search.</li>
</ul>

<b style="font-weight: bold;">9. Show Your Summary. Don't Tell.</b><br />
Show and tell was always a exciting part of elementary school. The curiosity factor always engaged every student in class, as we watched each student bring something to class to talk about. Your LinkedIn profile summary should invoke that curious nature that every reader of your summary has inside themselves.<br />
Focus your LinkedIn profile on how your skills, experience or services provides Solutions, Benefits or Results for the reader. Tell a story about yourself in the 3rd Person, which allows you to shamelessly brag about your accomplishments. It's OK. In the 21st Century it's called "branding" yourself.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Respect the time of business professionals visiting your LinkedIn profile. In 3 succinct sentences paint a picture about yourself that makes people want to read the rest of your LinkedIn profile.<br />

<b style="font-weight: bold;">10. Leverage Your Network As A Valuable Commodity</b><br />
I used to be very bothered when sales messages showed up in my LinkedIn Inbox from unknown people not in my network.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
One day I had an epiphany . . . Think of everyone you encounter as a Stargate or Gateway to other opportunities, once they become 1st level LinkedIn connections. When you are directly connected to a person who has 50 people in their network, that means you now have 51 people in your network too. This simple concept creates a powerful hook. The person who sends a Linked message toting their products or services wants your attention.<br />
<br />
<b style="font-weight: bold;">Spin An Unwanted Message Into Gold</b><br />
You can turn an unwanted LinkedIn message into an opportunity to expand your sphere of influence. I usually reply to the message sender with "Thanks for reaching out [Sender's Name]. I'm always open to explore opportunities with all of my 1st level LinkedIn connections. Please send me a LinkedIn invitation to connect." </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
They get something [your attention] and you get something [more people in your network] with each 1st level LinkedIn connection.</div>

<b style="font-weight: bold;">1. Follow The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_attraction_(New_Thought)">Law of Attraction</a></b><br />
The goal of each person's existence on LinkedIn should be to attract the attention of other like minded individuals to engage in conversation or social media interaction that develops or leads to mutually beneficial outcomes.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
The number of mutually beneficial outcomes from LinkedIn network connections is unlimited. This only happens with an engaging profile Summary. Your LinkedIn Summary is the honey pot for attracting interest from profile visitors.<br />
<br />
Your profile Summary should be comprised of 3 motivating ingredients to make your visitor want to read the rest of your LinkedIn profile:</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
- Be brief<br />
- Tell a story about results achieved<br />
- Tune in to your visitor's WIIFM (how can I help you?)</div>

Let's start with LinkedIn's pinging tool explained below.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
How much longer does it take to spell out the word "<b style="font-weight: bold;">Congratulations</b>", adding a couple of more PERSONAL words [on your promotion, job anniversary, birthday etc.]"<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight: bold;">vs.</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>just quickly sending the LinkedIn canned word "Congrats".</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
I make a habit to ping 3 to 5 people at least 3-4 times a week. It takes less than 5 minutes, but each personal note buys me a lasting, memorable commercial with each person I ping. Sometimes I get responses back, which means<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>a home run<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>in <b style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="underline" data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">developing a continued relationship</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>with that person.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Think of LinkedIn congratulations messages as your own personal TV commercial with a captured audience.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Who would you more easily remember and want to continue developing a relationship ? . . . . 49 people creating a blurry moment in your mind by lazily sending "Congrats" in 49 separate messages?<br />
<b>OR</b><br />
THE person who creates a memorable impression by taking time to write you a personalized 1 sentence note?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b style="font-weight: bold;">3. Avoid Wearing Amateur Label</b><br />
LinkedIn provides canned messages as examples to jump start or continue conversations. Using LinkedIn canned messages "<b style="font-weight: bold;">as is</b>" places the words "<b style="font-weight: bold;">networking amateur</b>" squarely on your forehead. Since the LinkedIn smart phone / mobile app automatically uses the canned messages, I always wait until I'm in front of a computer so I have more control customizing my messages.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
For the same reasons mentioned above, I have learned to increase my sphere of influence 100% by sending personalized LinkedIn invitations to connect.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Increase the chances of each person accepting your LinkedIn invitation by adding an "ice breaker sentence". Your opening sentence preceding the LinkedIn canned invitation message makes for a warmer, trusted acceptance of your invitation to connect on LinkedIn. Below are suggested opening sentences.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
In order to know a person take time to research [Google] what motivates them or find out what business interests, projects, or community associations they're involved in. Then consider placing the suggested opening phrases below, in front of the LinkedIn canned invite message:</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">By </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/meekseeks/">Karen Meek</a>, senior communications strategist. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Intrapreneurs are at no loss for great ideas on improving or inventing products and services. In many cases, innovation happens without company leaders knowing it should. That's because intrapreneurs find golden opportunities with or without being asked. But like some innovators, they may lack the ability to see their ideas move from a sketch on a paper napkin to full implementation.</span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have a great idea that would help foster customer service (both internal and external), streamline a production process, or make things simpler for others, here's how you can promote it.</span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
Make a case that makes sense.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> You may have an idea that you believe will work for the greater good, but will others share in your conviction? The more your idea reflects your company's goals and values, the better the chance you have to be heard. The more you think like the management, the more your idea will resonate with them. Prepare a proposal--it doesn't have to be as extensive as a white paper--that includes responses to the following questions:</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">What? Explain your idea in fairly good detail.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Why? Explain the problem your idea will l solve or the opportunity you think that the company should explore. Show some research that supports your theory, like survey results, analytical statistics, or customer feedback that makes a case for your idea. This also gets into "selling" the cause-and-effect benefits of your innovation.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">When? Lay out a flow chart in graphics or words that outlines the research, development, testing, roll out, and completion (if there's to be an end) time frames. Most managers like to see spreadsheets that include time lines and associated costs in time and resources.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">How? Explain how you propose to launch your solution and how it will affect other employees and customers. You might also consider adding a success measurement mechanism during implementation stages that will provide feedback for adjustments.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Who? Explain the audiences (employees, customers, prospects, investors, etc.) who will benefit from your product or service. Detail the feasibility for those audiences and how their performance or attitudes will be positively influenced.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">Find advocates who will promote you. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Innovative thinkers are sometimes loners. Without a contingency of supporters to help you further it, your idea may remain in your head or on the napkin. Do you have team or department members who think you have reason to pitch your idea? Perhaps they might want to get involved in the process.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Make sure your supporters are with you 100 percent. Steer clear of naysayers. If they don't condone your idea, politely let them know that you appreciate their sentiments and move on to others who are invested supporters. If you share your idea with someone who's less than truly invested, he or she may find ways to supplant you from pursuing it with decision makers.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">Present your proposal when asked.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> When you've nailed your proposal as outlined above, let your manager or team leader know you'd like to present it to him or her. Pose your request with one or more benefits from your proposal. Let your manager decide the appropriate time. Here's an example:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Sally, I understand how difficult it's been for everyone in the company to access benefits information on our intranet. I have a way to make the intranet easier to navigate and much more accessible for HR staff to post information on it. The training will be simple. Let me know when I can show you how it can be done."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't be discouraged if your manager doesn't respond quickly or favorably. They have their own agendas and time lines for accomplishing tasks. Avoid "going over the boss's head" because you're anxious. It's better to be patient and wait for the right opportunity to pitch your idea when you know that your audience is ready for it. Your manager may become a supporter who can move your proposal to higher ups.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">Deliver on your promises. </span><span style="font-size: large;">You need to be realistic about your solution to a problem to secure the the support you need to launch your idea. If you've shown concrete reasoning in your proposal, you're half-way on the road to success. Know that the "selling" of your idea is ongoing. Check often during the implementation phase for continued buy-in from management and customers. Be prepared to negotiate, improve, pull back, or revamp your initial assumptions.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Always offer thanks to everyone who helped you along the way, especially to those who gave you permission and support for implementing your great idea. Be humble in the limelight. Remember that your solutions or inventions are more about what you do for the company than what you do for yourself. So, don't get too puffed up when the kudos rolls in!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good luck!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">When we value our time, other people value it.</span><br />
<br />Many years back I performed an experiment to see what the value of my time, experience, skills and talent was really worth. I must have had too much time on my hands that day. When I completed the experiment, I had a "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Wow</span>" moment. Then I began to not feel so well, considering it was gross pay, not take home pay. The good news was, the result motivated me to <span style="font-weight: bold;">set some personal goals to increase the value of my time</span>, while giving myself a raise.<br />
<br />I created a spreadsheet to visualize different types of work weeks to identify my hourly rate. Since I was looking around for another opportunity, this was very helpful for me to ascertain how much I should ask for. With this knowledge, I could realistically set how much of a raise I needed to give myself with the next opportunity offered.<br />
<br />If your curious or just for your own edification, below is a partial snapshot of the spreadsheet. Keep in mind the hourly dollar amounts are gross, not net. So your hourly rate will be substantially lower, if you consider take home pay as what really counts.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In the careers section of the Wall Street Journal there is an interesting article <a href="https://blogs.wsj.com/laidoff/2009/09/10/hearing-youre-overqualified-again-and-again/"><i><b>Hearing ‘You’re Overqualified’ Again and Again</b></i></a>. In response to this article I posted the following comment on the WSJ page, to share how to overcome and squelch the "too old" stigma many faces, which makes it more difficult for older baby boomers to get hired.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /> The direct approach is best in staying focused on what you bring to the table with both skills, experience and being an expert in your field. Submitting just a resume means the Interviewer only has one narrowly defined aspect of your kills. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Overcome the age barrier by positioning yourself prior to the interview</span>. Mental attitude is THE most important ingredient to overcoming age perception issues.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The jobscape in the 21st century is a new game.</span> Freelance journalist, <a href="http://www.kimberleemorrison.com/">Kimberlee Morrison</a> writes about an <a href="http://www.adweek.com/digital/survey-96-of-recruiters-use-social-media-to-find-high-quality-candidates">ADWeek survey which indicates 92% of Recruiters</a> use social media to find high-quality candidates. So many human resource professionals, recruiters and hiring managers do use the Internet to identify talent that makes a better company match. The key is to <span style="color: rgb(51 , 204 , 0); font-weight: bold;">develop a positive Internet presence</span>, which highlights your skills beyond a resume.<br /><br />Leverage the Internet to establish yourself as an expert in your field and pump up the volume of the skills presented in your resume. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Make it your business to be exactly where Human Resources professionals and recruiters look</span>. When they receive your resume, many jump on the Internet to Google your name. <b>Type your name into Google right now</b>. What shows up about you? Do you have a professional profile on LinkedIn.com?<br /><br />Start a blog to write about how you have used your skills to contribute to the success of previous companies. Share success stories about projects you worked on and how you made a difference in the outcomes. If you don’t like to write, then comment [in a positive way] on articles others have written, related to your skill space. The goal is to make the Internet sell your skills, which increase your value above and beyond your resume. By the time you sit for an interview, the hiring manager is now more receptive to focusing on your skills, with age being a much more minor point.<br /><br />Developing an Internet presence creates demand for you and your skills, because you increase the chances of more people <span style="font-weight: bold;">finding you and identifying you as an expert in your field</span>. <a href="http://keithferrazzi.com/">Keith Ferrazzi</a> says it best, in terms of networking; “<i>It’s not who you know. It’s more important who knows you</i>”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When life is grand, that's the best time to ask for a recommendation / reference letter. A reference letter can come from a boss, co-workers, clients, community organizations or customers. Every recommendation letter becomes your silent sales person raving about the RESULTS you achieved for her/him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You and your boss getting along well</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The powers that be are raving about a project you just completed.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You just completed a client project before the deadline and under budget.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A client just gave your company another project, due to your efforts.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You're in the middle of a project that is high profile.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You received an excellent evaluation.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You received a bonus or a raise</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You just received a referral from a satisfied client</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A customer, client, helpdesk caller says the magic words; "How can I repay you for all your help?"</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Ask for a reference letter while you're riding a high wave. Don't hesitate. Do it now. Ask for a reference letter while things are on a high note. Don't get so complacent with how well things are currently going. Be realistic about the future. The only thing that stays the same is change. To think this euphoria will last is fool hearty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So no red flags are raised, just say you're going back to school and credit is provided for a reference letter against real-life job experience. It's the truth. You may go back to school at some point :-)</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370373187167792355.post-89346146023412537342017-10-21T00:00:00.000-04:002017-10-21T12:39:25.618-04:0050 Steps To Implement A Successful Intrapreneur Program<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Similar to what happens when employees are promoted to manager without managerial training, identifying potential Intrapreneur talent requires a solid, company mission focused development plan.</span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-size: 18px; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 32px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As a person who cares about the success of your company, you want to be clear in your mind that an Intrapreneur program is not a silver bullet for companies experiencing organizational issues that require senior leadership to solve. For those types of serious issues I recommend engaging a company that specializes in turning companies around, like <a data-mce-href="https://www.BoardOfRetiredCEOs.com" href="https://www.boardofretiredceos.com/" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><strong>Board of Retired CEOs</strong></a> run by trusted business associate <a data-mce-href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ted-santos-ab0107" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ted-santos-ab0107" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Ted Santos</a>. Visit <a data-mce-href="https://www.BoardOfRetiredCEOs.com" href="https://www.boardofretiredceos.com/" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.BoardOfRetiredCEOs.com</a> to check out business case articles published on their web site.<br /><br />The focus of developing an Intrapreneur program is to provide a company with 21st century competitive advantage with "<strong>1st to market"</strong> products and/or services. This is achieved by identifying, training and most importantly, empowering key employees who display unorthodox business savvy initiatives that benefit their departments, teams and the company in achieving its mission.<br /><br />Unlike definitive careers (i.e. accountant, engineer, teacher etc.), being an Intrapreneur is not a career path. Being an Intrapreneur is a high quality service performed across job functions. A person working in the mail room could be an Intrapreneur just the same as an architect being an Intrapreneur within her department. Intrapreneurship is an action oriented, fearless mindset combined with a problem solving attitude that has a laser beam focus on leveraging the talent of a well developed people network inside and outside the company. This sets the stage for collaborative synergies that <strong>create Solutions</strong>, <strong>identify competitive advantage Benefits</strong> and <strong>achieve RESULTS</strong>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>The odd thing is this 4 letter word is socially acceptable in any gathering of people.</b></i> No one gives it a second thought. Very few people realize the damage this nasty word does to other people. It cripples many people. People hear this word, pass it on to other people and more people hurt themselves saying it. Many parents think nothing of saying this word to their children in every day conversation.<br />
<br />
<i><b>People miss out</b></i>, on opportunities, raises, going to college, moving up the corporate ladder, starting a business, settling a dispute, forgiving a family member, meeting a new friend, taking a trip, learning something new, negotiating a better deal, just by uttering this word constantly.<br />
<br />
<i><b>When my daughter was about 3 or 4</b></i> I began asking her to do things to push her past her limits. She always felt she performed quite well, because she received a lot of encouragement for just attempting to do things most people would say 4-5-6-7-8 year old children aren't capable of doing. I would get her to do things, like asking her to take her bowl and put it in the sink. Although I knew she couldn't reach the sink, I just wanted her to try to reach anyway. Dropping the bowl was OK. After a couple of futile attempts, I picked her up so she could place the bowl in the sink. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>She still felt accomplished</b></i> in feeling like she still did it herself. Another time I asked her to help me clean an imaginary dirt spot on the wall that was out of her reach. After she tried and figured out she couldn't reach, I picked her up. She cleaned the spot. She felt very satisfied with her accomplishment.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Not yet 4 1/2 years old</b></i>, one day I asked her to count to 10. She hadn't been taught yet, but I thought I would really push her. She responded with the nastiest little word. I told her, if she said that "bad word" again, I would wash her mouth out with soap. I came from the bathroom, with a bar of soap to show her I meant business. I asked her again to count to 10. She said that 4 letter word again, more adamantly. I rubbed my finger across the wet bar of soap and rubbed my fingered across her lips. A soon as she licked her lips, she proceeded to cry from the awful soap taste. She ran to her mother to sooth the distaste on her lips. When I told her mother about my request, she [mother] freaked out. Mother also said the same dirty word, in referring to my daughter's limited knowledge. I was a maniac, as far as her mother was concerned.<br />

<i><b>I pulled my daughter from the safety</b></i> of her mother's arms. As I visibly rubbed my finger over the soap bar, I asked my daughter to count to 10. She already knew the result of saying the bad 4 letter word. So she thought carefully. The most amazing thing happened. She turned around with her back to me and said "help me daddy". This was symbolic. She knew every time I picked her up, she always accomplished something.<br />
<br />
<i><b>That dirty word did not appear</b></i> in my daughter's vocabulary again, until her second year in high school. She didn't do well in history. I asked her "what is the problem". She responded with that dirty word in a complete sentence. I proceeded to the bathroom and she changed her tune with a quick retraction and apology for using that word. So we continued with planning actions for improving her report card. She past all her subjects, including history, on the next report card. It's phenomenal how eliminating that nasty word helped her accomplish so many things over the years.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Many years back, I received a promotion from working in the mailroom to administrative assistant in Office Services.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This should have been a satisfying position. But nooooo. After a month passed, I was already looking beyond the promotion and raise. I was itching to start my own business as a computer consultant. Ironically, other than a Radio Shack pocket TRS-80 I programmed in BASIC, I did not know very much about computers. Go figure. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Despite having very little computer skills I was determined to have my own business as a computer consultant. I was in the right place at the right time. Working in Office Services and the mailroom connected me to serving 200+ computer programmers on 2 floors at the World Trade Center. So maybe their skills would just rub off on me, so I could fulfill my dream as a computer consultant. At least, that's what I envisioned. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Those were some crazy thoughts I had, but they were all mine. The thought of having my own business sustained me through the madness of day-to-day office politics in the company. I had something to look forward to. Most people in the company had nothing to look forward to, except working at the company again the next day. . . and the next day after that.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A couple of months later, I had a company print up 1,000 pens with "</span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">C. Reid, Computer Consultant 333-444-9999</span><span style="font-size: large;">" . Woo hoo!!. <span style="font-weight: bold;">I was in business now</span>. I still had almost no computer skills. <span style="font-weight: bold;">But I had a DREAM</span>.<br /><br />My business printed pens were prominently displayed on my desk about 1 day, before a manager attempts to drop me down 10 flights of stairs. I had great respect for this manager. I knew he was the person to be around. As he comes in to see my boss, he eyes my printed pens. He picks one up and reads the pen. He looks at me. He repeats what's printed on the pen. He says to me sarcastically "so what do you know about computers" . I respond "as soon as you hire me, I'll know more than I do now" . He laughed hard and stepped off on me.<br /><br />I was a little embarrassed by his comment, but I was not deterred. I eventually was hired in the company as a mainframe developer. It took quite a few more years and few more jobs later before I did become a computer consultant. <a href="http://nettechsystems.blogspot.com/">I did start my own computer consulting company.</a><br /><br />Quite a few years later, I ran into that same manager at a technology conference. His facial expression showed he was in shock, when I answered his "so what are you doing these days?" question. I responded" I not only became a <a href="http://nettechsystems.blogspot.com/">computer consultant</a>, but I am also founder, CEO & President of a successful <a href="http://nettechsystems.blogspot.com/">technology consulting company</a>". He shook my hand and said "Good work. You have come a long way from the mailroom". I felt proud that he recognized me.</span><span style="font-size: large;">The point is I never stopped dreaming. I kept made my dream bigger than I was. It sustained me through the worst of working jobs, because <span style="font-weight: bold;">I always had hope</span>. Most people don't, unless they become a <span style="font-weight: bold;">Savvy Intrapreneur</span>.</span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 130%;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">As part of the orientation process, Human <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Resources</span> provides an Employee Manual. These manuals are sometimes small booklets. Others are large books. The employee manual provides us with our entitlements, while protecting the organization with a formulated structure. This document basically becomes the rule book we live by during each work day. It is also the manager's basic guide to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">shepherding</span> the team.<br /><br />What about the unwritten rules? <span style="font-weight: bold;">These are the rules people are led to believe they are not allowed to try or implement.</span> We encounter these unspoken rules everyday, yet they are not in the employee manual. The very cool thing is we can make these unspoken rules work to our advantage.

Even a manager likes to know they are valued by their team.<br /><br />Where does it say that we should take it personal, if our manager beats us up on a task "<span style="font-weight: bold;">they feel</span>" is not done well? The task is being attacked, not us. Feeling confident that we did the best we could, is all that counts. Other people judging us is purely subjective. Maybe it's not us. It's them.<br /><br />Where does it say we should allow coworkers to make their issues our issues? If someone creates a situation, we can assist them with a resolution. That person must understand they own that issue, not you.<br /><br />Where does it say <a href="http://bullyfestival.blogspot.com/" style="font-weight: bold;">office bullies</a> are actually masking a <a href="http://coachingcompass.blogspot.com/2007/02/can-confidence-be-faked.html" style="font-weight: bold;">lack of confidence</a>.<br /><br />Where does it say all our dreams should be tied to one source of income?

This would allow us to make adjustments, to improve our performance. It is an injustice to ourselves if we wait 12 months to get dropped down 15 flights of stairs, because our manager has not been dissatisfied with our performance.<br /><br />Where does say that being assertive with people up and down the corporate food chain achieves their respect, even if they do not like us personally?<br /><br />Where does it say we are paid to tell our manager what we think they want to hear, instead of the real answer, just because we are afraid of rocking the boat?

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since children learn languages easier than adults, why not teach them to be business savvy? Parents hear their children immediately repeating what they [parents] say. Children are more open to learning new things and asking more questions; animals, colors, their environment, learning new songs etc..<br /><br />The best gift any parent can give their child is preparing them for success, with everyday experiences. My 30 year old daughter is more business savvy than many of her peers, because she was exposed to the idea of being business savvy from an early age. She has a resume that produces job interviews more often, despite the fact she only attended college for a brief period.<br /><br />Use what works for you. Discard the rest.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.savvyintrapreneur.com/2011/05/dirtiest-4-letter-word.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Dirtiest 4 Letter Word</span></a>: This nasty little word will handicap a child all their lives, if we allow our children to say it over and over again. As a parent, we tell our child they can be whoever they want. Then we teach them that dirty word. I told my daughter "if you ever say that word, I'll wash your mouth out with soap". I only had to keep my promise to her once and she never said that word again. <a href="http://www.savvyintrapreneur.com/2011/05/dirtiest-4-letter-word.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Read More </a>. . .</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Everyone Has a Job</span>: As a child, I told my daughter "everyone in the house has a job. Mommy's job is a real estate building manager. My job is programming computers. Princess, your job is to go to school, do your best and behave. This helps mommy and daddy not worry about you. If we do not worry about you, we can make sure you have a nice place to live and buy food that you can eat everyday".<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Life Does Pay an Allowance</span>: Income we achieve as professionals, is based on performance. So why not teach our children that principle as early as possible? We found out the hard way. Rather than giving an allowance, I put a monetary value on the grades my daughter achieved. She knew she would receive <span style="font-weight: bold;">NO</span> money for any grade less than a "B". Fifty ($.50) cents for a "<span style="font-weight: bold;">B</span>". Seventy five ($.75) for a "<span style="font-weight: bold;">B+</span>". One dollar ($1.00) for an "<span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>". Report cards were milestone markers with bonus payments. Any subjects with low grades were reviewed collaboratively. We came up with a game plan plan for improving subject grades.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Travel is the Best Education</span>: As I learned from my father and did with my daughter, traveling to different places is the best education any parent can give a child. Local day outings work well, but long distance trips work better. Experiences that allow children to be exposed to different environments, cultures, foods etc. allows them to apply their academic learning in real life situations. Education is worthless, if does not empower people to solve problems or make informed decisions. Travel provides for a more well rounded education. Trips to the zoo, park, movies, the beach etc. all count. Taking children on trips to other countries or outside states provide an even bigger return on educational investment.<br /><br />I'm in the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Guinness</span> Book of World Records for being on the longest car ride, as a child. At age 11, my father drove me from the Bronx, down through Mexico and into <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Guatemala</span> in Central America. . . . <span style="font-weight: bold;">Just kidding about <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Guinness</span> world record</span>. The car ride is true. It provided me with a better understanding of diversity in cultures, as an adult. As a child, I just thought my father was fearless adventurer. And that instilled much confidence in me.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Parent Teacher Night Develops Communication skills</span>: I always took my daughter to parent teacher night at her school. We had an agreement that no matter what teachers said I would not embarrass her in public. I did encourage dialog between the teacher, myself and my daughter. This was especially helpful to my daughter, because she felt involved in the process. She was also getting practice expressing herself and ideas. If a teacher had a concern or issue with my daughter's performance or behavior, I would allow my daughter to respond [respectfully]. Then we all talked about the next steps for improvement for my daughter. My daughter always told me afterwards she was nervous at the beginning of the night, but became more relaxed as we visited each of her teachers. She gained much confidence.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Networking Starts at the Sandbox</span>: Children make friends easier than adults. Children do not prejudge. They are just glad to have a friend to play with. Whenever my daughter brought a friend over to our house, I always insisted she introduce her friend to me and her mother. I would accompany my daughter to her friend's house. I would ask her or her friend to introduce me to her friend's parents. I would make it a point to introduce my daughter to our friends. These basic actions reinforce basic social skills children require to compete in the business world. The power of networking always starts at the introduction.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sharing Leads to Giving Back to the Community</span>: I encouraged my daughter to volunteer her time for different school events, even if she was not participating directly. Learning to share as a child prepares for giving as an adult.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Helping Mommy/Daddy at Work</span>: From the age of 12 my daughter was exposed to business concepts by assisting me develop my technology consulting business. During Spring/Summer breaks, I gave her simple tasks to complete. She learned how operate the computer and do word processing. She learned proper etiquette for answering the phone. She learned how to use a calculator to tally invoices. Later she learned to enter those numbers into a spreadsheet. Still later she learned to make travel arrangements. Take your child to work as often as possible. Explain what you do and relate it back to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">everyone's</span> job at home. Give them something to do at your office, to prepare them for the future.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">School is Never Out</span>: As children we believe school is finished when certain educational levels are completed. As adults, we find out that the school of life is a never ending education. My daughter recently encountered life's enduring lessons of sharing an apartment with a room mate. Since she was small, I always asked her "what have learned from this experience".<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do You Want the Yellow or Red Lollipop?</span>: Teaching decision making skills can start very early. From the age of 2, I would present my daughter with options to allow her to develop decision making skills. I presented her choices where either decision was comfortable with me. As she sat in her stroller, I asked her "do want the red lollipop or the yellow lollipop"? She chose the red one. When she finished eating the red lollipop, she gestured for me to give her the yellow one. As basic as I could, I explained to her [paraphrasing] "you decided on the red lollipop. You must stick to your decision." Her mother thought I was just the meanest person. This process continued throughout my daughter's childhood and into the teen years. Decision skills are key to dealing with all the business land mines adults encounter.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bad Child Bad Child:</span> How a person performs in the business arena is based on how much confidence they have in themselves. If a parent constantly tells a child "You're a loser. You'll never amount to anything", the child will produce that result. Placing the spotlight on the "unacceptable action" is what children need to understand from their parents. I would tell my daughter, "I'm angry at what you did, <span style="font-weight: bold;">not you as a person</span>. I love you, but your actions are unacceptable". A child must understand that everyone makes mistakes, but that does not make them a bad person. As an adult, a person can better handle reprimands by as manager as long as they know they still have self worth.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Learning Right from Wrong Develops Integrity:</span> The values we teach children is the cornerstone of who they become as adults. Business situations come up all the time that place people in precarious situations. Integrity is the most valuable commodity any person can own. Its intrinsic value increases every time we make the hard decisions, regardless of what others might say or think. Now is the time to teach our children, while values can be easily absorbed in those spongy brains.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-family: times new roman; font-size: large;">We use computers. We use calculators. We use power tools.

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-family: times new roman; font-size: large;"><br />In personal relationship development the statements "<span style="font-weight: bold;">I can use you</span>" or "<span style="font-weight: bold;">we could use your organization</span>" should be avoided. These statements <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">deliver a subliminal message</span> that says "when you outlive your usefulness, I won't need you anymore - next".<br /><br />We leverage people.

<span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: large;">There are many unwritten rules when engaging people in an office environment. The key to successful positioning is being "you", but always in a professional manner.<br /><br />1. No yelling at anyone and allow no one to yell at you, unless the building is on fire.<br /><br />2. Never make an important decision when angry.<br /><br />3. <a href="http://coachingcompass.blogspot.com/2004/09/win-arguments-by-being-agreeable.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Win arguments by being agreeable</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span><br /><br />4. Never bring up mistakes of the past.<br /><br />5. Always <a href="http://coachingcompass.blogspot.com/2006/03/smile-its-contagious.html" style="font-weight: bold;">smile</a> and say hello to everyone throughout the day.<br /> (including people who empty your waste basket, answer your phone, delivery your mail)<br /><br />6. Encourage and look out for team members.<br /><br />7. Leaders serve and support. <a href="http://coachingcompass.blogspot.com/2004/11/bullies-are-cowards.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Bullies</a> discourage and intimidate.<br /><br />8. If you have to critique someone's work, say something encouraging first.<br /><br />9. Listen to gossip. Then drop it in the mental wastebasket on the way out the coffee room.<br /><br />10. If you make a mistake, acknowledge it immediately. Then correct it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">What would you do to maintain the current life style your family enjoys, if you lost your job today? The answer to this question keeps everyone in fear at work. "<b><i>Go along to get along</i></b>" is the norm, so as not to rock the boat and keep management happy with you. Unemployment insurance is not the answer. <b>No one is afraid of losing their job and no one goes to work to fail.</b> People are afraid of losing the income associated with their job. That income dictates everything your family does; where you live, vacation destinations, cable TV package, schools your children attend etc.. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #3333ff;">"<i>You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.</i>" Ghandhi</span></span><span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: 130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: 130%;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;">The only difference between being a volunteer and performing a job is <b style="color: #009900;">free vs. fee</b>. An intern or volunteer fills real job roles that organizations need and realize benefits. Give yourself credit on your resume for performing a "real" job, as a volunteer. Potential client companies may tend to offer a lesser salary [aka net worth] to anyone that is not working. A volunteer position provides the perception of working, which maintains or increases net worth.<br /><br /><u><b style="color: #3333ff;">2 things happen when identifying "volunteer" work on a resume:</b></u></span></span><br />
<ol style="font-family: times new roman;">
<li><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif; font-size: large;">The organization gets some premium free publicity and marketing on YOUR resume</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif; font-size: large;">A person's net worth is reduced by identifying a valid job role as being a "volunteer".</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: large;">How come doctors, lawyers, executives / political consultants and other select careers increase their net worth by volunteering? A doctor at Bellevue Hospital volunteers at a free medical clinic in Harlem. A corporate lawyer volunteers at the "Legal Aid Society" representing people charged with a crime. Both professionals get credit from their peers and augment their income at their next job. <b>What's up with that picture?</b> How come they get ahead?<br /><br />The answer is these types of professionals <b><u>validate</u></b> their volunteer work as a "real job".</span><br />
<ol style="font-family: times new roman;">
<li><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif; font-size: large;">Blasphemy is never committed, as it relates to their net worth, by referring to free work as being a volunteer. They use the word "<b>pro bono</b>" (Latin for the public good).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif; font-size: large;">Not all, but most these professionals list their "<b>pro bono</b>" work as another job in their curriculum vitae (another type of resume used in these circles and other countries).</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: large;"><b style="color: #3333ff;"><u>How to Validate Your Volunteer Work as a Real Job?</u></b></span><br />
<ol>
<li style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif; font-size: large;">Understand and be convinced your volunteer work is a real job.</span></li>
<li style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-size: large;">Consider moving a volunteer job into the job experience section of your resume, especially if it directly relates to current skills required for a potential job opportunity. <b>This fills a gap, if not currently employed.</b></span></li>
<li style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ask for a reference letter from the CEO, Executive Director or person of influence within the organization.</span></li>
<li style="font-family: times new roman;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Request a recommendation on LinkedIn from senior management of that organization.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: large;">Consider adding the company you're doing pro bono work as a "<b>current</b>" company you work for within your LinkedIn profile.</span></li>
</ol>
