Quick Way to Get a Promotion at Work

I know this blog is about being an entrepreneur. However all entrepreneurs need to start somewhere. Everyone wants to be promoted at work. Here is a quick and easy guide to getting that promotion that you want. If you follow these rules, you will be first in line for the promotion. You will find it to be a quick way to get a promotion at work.

1 - Be very friendly to ALL your co-workers. Even if you hate their guts, at least try and get along. If you feel an argument brewing just step aside, gather yourself and explain your side of the argument in a calm, cool way. Bosses want employees that can get along in a civilized manner.

2 - Make certain that everyone above you thinks and/or knows that you are a hard worker. You can do this by showing up to work early (before most of the top executives get there), and leaving after most of them leave.

3 - Work Hard! It is your career. Is it really necessary to play on your IPhone, or visit websites that help you make an income away from your job? When your at work, WORK!

4 - Don't be afraid to disagree. Your boss doesn't want people under him that constantly agree with every idea he or another top executive comes up with. If you disagree, then let him know, and explain your reasoning in a civilized manner. This is of course if you really do want a promotion at work :)

5 - Smile. Try to smile as much as you can. Your boss wants employees that are happy with their work, friendly to others, and in a good mood most of the time.

6 - Be more then an employee. You can be friends with other workers, especially those above you.

7 - Work with the mindset that you own the company (without ordering others around). If you follow this rule, and work as though any profits that the company you work for takes in go directly into your pocket, then your bosses will love you. These are the types of employees that get promotions and raises.

When it comes to asking for a promotion or raise, do so in a formal manner. If you are rejected for the promotion you want, don't argue. You can simply let your boss know that you may have to submit your resume to some other companies.

If you follow these simple rules, you should see both your job ranking and salary increase.
