This book is dedicated to my good friend and business partner, Victor Risling, a man who exemplifies the finest qualities of commitment, dedication, responsibility, and the willingness to always go the extra mile to get the job done. Victor is the ultimate role model for anyone who truly wants to get paid more and promoted faster.
Preface
This book is for anyone who wants to take full control over his or her career. If you feel that you are deserving of far more than you are receiving today, you are probably right. This book will show you how to get it. The twenty-one ideas you are about to learn will give you a series of practical, proven techniques that you can implement immediately to move upward and onward more rapidly in any company or job.
These strategies have been distilled and condensed from my more than thirty years of experience in the world of work, at every level, from the most menial job all the way up to the executive suite. I started as a dishwasher and then was a stock boy in a department store. I worked my way through more than twenty different jobs in varying industries and different countries, learning these principles the hard way as I struggled forward.
Throughout my career, I was continually looking around me and asking, Why is it that some people are more successful than others?
Specifically, why do some people get paid more and promoted faster at work and others not?
Over the years, I rose from laboring jobs through sales and into management, eventually becoming the chief operating officer of a $265 million company. Today, I consult with the executives of some of the biggest companies in the world on the subjects of career development and personal success.
In my various positions, I have hired, trained, advised, appraised, promoted, and fired countless people, from junior staff up to company presidents. I have designed and conducted seminars for thousands of ambitious men and women who wanted to get ahead more rapidly.
In my advanced personal coaching programs, I work with successful executives and entrepreneurs to help them to strategize and reorganize themselves to do more of the right things, in the right way, so they can increase their incomes at a faster rate than ever before.
These ideas apply to you, whatever you are doing today. The fact is that you are probably worth twice as much as you are earning right now. You may be worth five or ten times as much. But it is completely up to you to take the necessary actions to maximize your potential at work.
You are in charge. You are the architect of your own career. You largely determine everything that happens to you, especially in the long term. Your chief responsibility to yourself in your work is to increase your ROE, your return on energy.
Your main goal should be to get the highest return on the part of your life that you invest in your job. Your aim should be to get paid the very most possible for the amount of time you spend.
It takes just as many years to be a big success in your field as to be average. And the truth is that you are not average. You probably have the capacity to be
