These are all great and valuable, but here are 10 things that will advance you FAR MORE than any degree or certification. They require no talent, only drive, determination and perseverance. Anyone can master them and be an employer’s DREAM!
You will gain the respect of your boss and the admiration (or despise) of your co-workers.
Be on time
One of my favorite lines. “If you’re on time your late, if your early you’re on time.”
Work Ethic
Lost along the way somehow. Win it back.
Effort
Tackle the issues. Better to ask forgiveness than permission.
Body Language
Worth a thousand words! You know what I mean!
Energy
There is good and bad. Be the Good stuff!
Attitude
If you are unsure, then you don’t have kids! Positive attitude = positive results.
Passion
I may not be the one with the biggest paycheck. Choose one you have passion for!
Be Coachable
Turn off the “know-it-all” switch. Listen! We all can be better at everything we do.
Go the Extra Mile.
Stay late and finish the project, arrive early, do what it takes. Stand out amount the crowd.
Be Prepared.*
Every day, especially the first day. Learn about the business, your boss, your work, the industry. Be ready!
