Do these 3 Things Differently to Get that Promotion

Before envying co-workers, who seem to have it so easy when it comes to climbing the corporate ladder, pay attention to their habits. People who get promoted all the time don’t just get lucky. If you deconstruct their approach, you’ll notice there are replicable patterns in the way they perceive their worth, take action and interact with others. 

The ancient philosopher Plato said, “Excellence is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice. We achieve excellence by acting upon the practiced skills.” Let these wise words inspire you to learn from the things people who advance fast in their careers do differently so you can consistently apply these wisdom's in your own career and you will be reaching your goals in no time.

Oftentimes, when you try to implement some of the mentioned elements, you may run into challenges. To resolve this very issue, I wrote my book "The Breakthrough Accelerator - Resolve your Biggest Challenge in 4 weeks"- Receive a FREE download of this book by Clicking this Link 

Individuals with drive and out-of-the-box thinking do these three things in a unique way to get promoted and score promotions again & again -   

They Deeply understand their own value

 

Those who get promoted all the time understand their own value. It starts with our own assessment of self-worth. How secure do you feel about your skills and contributions? Are you super aware of your strengths as well as your areas of improvement? Having a profound understanding of what you bring to the table is the first step towards being the kind of person who scores promotion after promotion.

They ask before being offered 

Steve Jobs famously said the one thing that separates those who dream from those who achieve is the simple act of asking. A person who tends to get promoted tends to be the one who asks for it over someone who discounts themselves. Professionals who climb the corporate ladder at lightning speed don’t wait for their bosses to offer them advancement opportunities. They are proactive about their career development and are not afraid to regularly start conversations about new challenges and next steps.

They bring more solutions than problems 

People who get promoted make the job of their manager/director easy. They make themselves indispensable to the team or organization, but not as silent sufferers — as the ones who are bringing solutions and making their boss look good. More often than not, they are operating in the role that they want rather than the one that they have. Think two steps ahead, bring more solutions than problems and watch yourself become a magnet for career opportunities.

In conclusion, be the individual who moves fast and thinks on their feet. You have to be the kind of person who creates opportunities over and over again. This is what differentiates people who get promoted all the time from those who don’t. They seek opportunities out, they create them and when they do appear, they jump. More often than not, the difference came to the willingness to take a risk and act.
