Member You - Silent Career Killers That Nobody Tells You About
The lathe chuck has been an important tool more or less as the antique Egyptians used a simple man-powered lathe to cut designs and forms into wood. Working with the ancient lathes requires two-man task. One person has been engaged in cutting tools to carve or shape the revolving piece of wood. The second person twisted the wood by using a bow and piece of cord or rope to work. Lathe chuck parts have become very dedicated to a variety of wood spinning and also metal functioning tasks and stock. At present, lathes are computer proscribed exactitude machines with limited similarity to most of its early forerunner.The wood revolving lathe is the spirit of most DIY and profitable woodworking workshops. Lathe machines are accessible in a multiplicity of sizes, from small pen lathes that have a greatest capability of 2” stock to
I’m not talking about looking like Miss America or getting plastic surgery. I’m talking about being fit, having clear skin, getting a good haircut, and having an overall pleasant appearance. And while you’re at it, get rid of the body piercings, the visible tattoos, and the outlandish wardrobe. Be conservative. And put a smile on your face.
If you think it doesn’t matter, let me tell you a little story. A former student of mine just graduated with high honors. Very bright individual. She’s been with her company for a long time and wants to move up. She can’t figure out why every time she applies for an internal promotion, she never even gets an interview. Well, her boss is a professional friend, so I asked him one day why this was. He told me “Nobody can stand to look at her or talk to her because of her tongue piercing. We really can’t say anything, but that’s the reason if you want to know.” Just goes to show…
Career Killer #7: Emotional Control
Work is not the place to let your emotions run rampant. If you have a personal situation, you should see your manager immediately
Everyone wants to make a lot of money and help people. Many also do not want to be stuck inside the same office environment every working day. A sales career will be one of the best occupations to achieve all this. So it sometimes amazes me on the high number of people, especially recent university or college graduates, who never think about pursuing sales careers.Now, I’m not talking about your average shopping mall sales clerk job or door to door brush salesperson here. I’m referring to much higher level corporate sales positions that require extensive training and specific personal attributes. Many such corporate sales careers will involve mid to large sized companies that deal with business to business selling, i.e., sales to other companies rather than individual consumers.Pretty well all high ticket value
If you use these insider tips to your advantage every single day, you will join the top 10% of professionals in America. The top 10% make all the money and they never have to worry about job security. So can you. Read on…
Career Killer #1: Execution
At the end of the day, it’s all about getting the job done. Our professional network of employers and recruiters tell us that most candidates and employees look like they’ve been aimlessly floating around corporate America and through life. Are you one of those people? Be honest with yourself.
Become very focused on results. Ask yourself every day “What meaningful things am I going to accomplish today?” Stop doing busy work and chatting with your colleagues. In a matter of months, you will build an impressive track record and you will become unstoppable.
Career Killer #2: Communication Skills
The way you write and the way you talk determines how the world judges you. How smart you are is actually secondary, believe it or not. Think very, very carefully before you speak, even in casual conversation. Look over every email and memo before you send it out.
People are listening to you and watching you. They are forming an impression that will last for a long, long time. They are putting you “on the list’ or crossing you “off the list”. And they are telling others what they think about you. You have no idea what’s happening to your career behind the scenes. Now you know.
The unfortunate thing is that most people think they are just fine in this area but they aren’t. Read up on this topic and if need be, get an assessment of your communication skills from a professional coach and get to work on them.
Career Killer #3: Manners
It seems that nobody says “please”, “thank you”, and “excuse me” anymore. When you use good manners towards someone, you make them feel respected. People like that and they will like being around you. Good manners also give you an air of sophistication and good upbringing. Since so few people employ good manners – if you do, you will easily and quickly stand out as a capable and trustworthy person. Capable and trustworthy people always get ahead.
The following silent career-killers are ones that are going to make you stop and think. They will force you to be honest with yourself and make some choices. Know that everyone who has made the conscious decision to rise in their careers has struggled with these issues.
Career Killer #4: Your Daily Behavior
Are you really serious about your career? Most people say they are. But they don’t behave that way. Employers watch behavior on a daily basis. You may think that all you get is an annual performance evaluation. Let me tell you, you are getting a daily evaluation.
You have to look sharp and be sharp at all times. Yes, it’s hard work. But if you form good habits, it’ll be easier than you ever thought. Make 2006 the year that you form one or two excellent daily work habits. Just one or two, that’s all. Your career will have dramatic results if you do.
Career Killer #5: Who You Associate With
If you hang with people who aren’t well respected, you won’t be respected. I’m not telling you to dump your friends and colleagues and hang out in the executive dining room. And this is not about becoming a phony and brown nosing people.
What I am telling you is that you’ll never get any better unless you associate with people who also want to do better. This is what we call your “reference group”. Studies have shown that people can get the finest educations and have all the best advantages in the world. But ultimately, the quality of their “reference group” determines their success.
You will find people in your “reference group” who don’t want you to get ahead. They will give you a hard time, they will tell you can’t do it, they may sabotage you. Some of these people will even be family members.
Remember who is putting food on the table – you are. Gently and gradually disassociate yourself from them. It will set you free.
Career Killer #6: Your Image
OK, here’s the career-killer that nobody will ever talk about in public. So I will. People care about appearance. They like to be with well put together, trim, and attractive people. They associate appearance with intelligence and competence. Sorry, but that’s the way it is.

I've learned important lessons over my 15 year career as a cleaning and restoration business owner and one of the more important lessons is that trying to learn every little detail about every business function will DRIVE YOU CRAZY! Having said that it's still important to understand key concepts of your business and options, but trying to learn all the details of taxes, the legal system, business structure, etc. will most likely stunt your business growth or add many unnecessary years to becoming extremely successful.Your Advisory StaffAs stated above, there are functions in your business that you need to fully understand; but you can't possibly or even need to understand every little detail. That's what an Advisory Staff is for. Let's look at some of the Advisors and how they can help every business owner, n

Today I am joined by Richard Robbins, the Founder and CEO of Richard Robbins International . Rich has been gracious enough to take the time to give invaluable advice and knowledge to my readers, and I know that this will be a message which will inspire growth.Q: How did you get started in the field of achievement coaching?A: I started a Real Estate Company in 1988 and struggled for the first few years. I quickly discovered the key to success in the real estate brokerage business was to find salespeople with common values and be invested in helping them succeed. In other words the more I trained and coached them the more they became successful. The more successful they became, the more successful I became. Once I embraced this philosophy our company grew quickly until we had the highest production per agent of any com

Really, throw it out the window.The workplace today is nothing like it was ten years ago and there is no going back. The world of our parents, a world where employers concerned themselves with the long term; or even the overall moral of their employees - that is gone. A world where one can expect to stay with a company for twenty plus years, retire with a modest pension and health care is non existant.The reality is far harsher.Most CEOs do not see past the next fiscal report to Wall Street, or the short term politics of the board of directors. While small businesses are being developed to be sold. Most of you reading this will go through a downsizing due to a sale of you place of employment.Part of this change is due to the global economy, and the downward pressure it places on the wages of the midd

Career Killer #7: Emotional Control
Work is not the place to let your emotions run rampant. If you have a personal situation, you should see your manager immediately and have a plan to address it. Employers completely understand life issues such as divorce, problems with your children, depression…etc. But they do expect it to be temporary and that you will take care of it.
Don’t raise your voice, don’t get into quarrels with people, and don’t have public disagreements. If the other person wants to “take you on”, absolutely refuse to engage. Take a deep breath, excuse yourself, and walk away.
Whatever you do, don’t get a reputation for being “emotional”. It implies that you are unstable, unreliable, and can’t handle more responsibility (which is what promotions and more money bring). You’d be surprised at how many people get ahead in their careers mostly because they get along with everyone and are perceived as being very “even tempered”.
