Did you know that no matter how hard some people work and no matter how much loyalty they show their employer over many years, that this does not guarantee a significant pay rise or promotion? What these people don’t realize is that they are going about things the wrong way and therefore will continue to struggle to make progress up the career ladder. For instance do you feel…

Your value isn’t measured by time but by rather by FOCUS

Many people who work for someone else wrongly assume that the longer they stay with a company or organization the more valuable they will become and therefore the more likely they are to be promoted and given that much needed pay rise. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

There are many examples out there of people who have been with a company for a very long time and have barely scratched the surface of a promotion. The main reason is that they were simply focusing on the wrong things — not building enough value within themselves to deserve that promotion in the first place.

Most of my adult life I’ve either worked for myself or with a business partner. I therefore don’t have first-hand experience of working for a large corporation. However, over this time I have spoken to many people through my life coaching work. These are normal ordinary individuals who are wanting more out of life.

One theme that has been prevalent during these coaching sessions — that my clients have told me over and over again is that life seems unfair. My clients would often talk to me about their experiences at work. They would seemingly be doing the right things on a daily basis, but for one reason or another they would always fail to win that promotion, while others who have been working there for a much shorter period of time would get promoted ahead of them. Why was this happening?

Talking with my coaching clients I soon realized that they were simply focusing and prioritizing their work responsibilities and activities in a non-conducive way that worked against them in the long-run.

Instead of focusing on enhancing their personal value, skills and level of effectiveness and efficiency, they were instead focused on going about things in the same way day-to-day with little deviation from the norm. They didn’t take risks, lacked creative initiative and failed to apply themselves to take the necessary steps to enhance their value through skills, tools and by building their resources. To put it simply, they didn’t make any effort to stand out from the crowd and increase their value to the company.

Even though you’re working for someone else, you must manage your professional life as though you’re the CEO of your own company. This shift in perspective will change how you approach your work, responsibilities and the challenges that are thrown your way.

Keep in mind that a CEO paints the bigger picture for the company moving forward. They fully understand that in order to get to this vision that the company must have the necessary skills, resources, tools, business relationships and management skills to attain these objectives. They realize that everything they do is paramount and critical to the long-term success of their vision, and as a result they are very specific and remain focused on the areas that will get them the most value moving forward into the future.

The series of mind maps and resources that you will find below will show you the steps you must take that will help you win that promotion and pay rise you’ve been fighting for all this time. You simply need to develop the skills, acquire the resources, implement the tools and take the creative initiative to take back control over your professional life.

This material is presented within a mind map because of it’s simplicity and easy of use.

Here are some key advantages that result from using a mind map as a reference tool on a particular topic area:
