怎样在事业上取得成功
Advice from Top Performersby Sonja Carberry, Investor's Business Daily
成功每个人都想要，可是怎样才能成功呢?我们来看看那些在职场上取得成功的人们给了我们什么建议吧!
A shaky economy has everyone watching their bottom lines. It's no different
at work. Persistence helps make you a top performer. Tips from work-a-day
winners are outlined below.
Stop Worrying 别再担心
Wes Moss wrote "Make More, Worry Less" to tell the stories of people
achieving extraordinary success by bringing an entrepreneur's mindset to their
run-of-the-mill jobs.
One thing they do, Moss says, is work without fear of failure.
One worry-crushing technique? "Ask yourself what the worst-case scenario
is," Moss told IBD. "Once you accept that, you can move forward and focus on the
task at hand."
Keep Track 记录成长
Moss calls himself a "corporate entrepreneur" because he works full-time as
a certified financial planner at UBS Financial Services while writing business
books and hosting a financial radio show on the side.
Moss makes a habit of writing down his successes in a "value log." It helps
him frame his accomplishments so he can announce them at work. "If you're great
at something, it doesn't matter if no one knows about it," he said. It also
helps him track his strengths so he knows where to dedicate his energies.
Close the Door 破釜沉舟
Ralph Olson was a financial analyst at Pepsi-Cola when a project no one
wanted was tossed his way: create an affordable plastic soft drink container
consumers would love.
Olson grabbed the corporate hot potato and mentally closed the door on
failure. "My thinking was, 'I want it because I think I can make it work,'" he
said in Moss' book.
With no turning back, Olson drove the project forward. The now-ubiquitous
two-liter plastic bottle led to Olson's promotion to vice president -- the
youngest in company history at age 32.
Never Say No 永远不要说“不”
Buddy Newell told Moss he always loved fine timepieces. To excel at selling
them, Newell decided he'd always deliver exactly what his wealthy customers
wanted.
What they wanted were diamonds. But his employer, PK Time, balked at adding
rocks to their watches. So Newell talked the designer into making just one.
Newell sold the diamond-encrusted watch in 10 minutes.
The company developed a jewel-heavy "Buddy" line in his honor, and Newell
ticked ahead to vice president of sales.
Perfect Your Image 建立完美的形象
Ed Cortese decided to operate his career like his own little company, he
told Moss.
To project a confident product -- himself -- Cortese dressed flawlessly and
used his posture and demeanor to communicate a calm expertise. That approach
helped him land his dream job as marketing director for luxury magazine Robb
Report.
Just Work Harder 努力再努力
Linda Raab was living paycheck to paycheck as a beverage manager at a Steak
'n Shake restaurant when a customer suggested selling Aflac insurance. Raab
lacked contacts because she was new to the area, so she decided to knock on more
doors than anybody else -- even selling a policy in a gas station parking
lot.
Moss says that's how Raab went from having $456 in the bank to earning a
six-figure income.
