Sitting Around Waiting for the Miracle

You can’t be a bystander in your career.

Position yourself
intelligently. Instead
of showing up as a service provider, come in as a strategist so you’re treated
as an equal partner, not a day laborer.

Beat them to the punch. Instead of asking people what
they want, show them you’re already doing what they need more of.

Frame the context. Instead
of selling an idea, sell people on the unique approach and philosophy behind
the idea.

Stuff your sleeves with aces.
Instead of
talking, go do something, and then you’ll have something to do the talking for
you when you arrive.

Sure beats sitting around waiting for the miracle.
