How to Ask for a Raise - and Get it r true desires and
priorities. An example of a desire is: wanting to work
outdoors with people. An example of a priority is: placing
your family first.Getting a raise should be the first thing you think about when the subject of increasing your income becomes important. Of all the things you can do to better your monthly finances – starting a home business, getting a part-time job, studying for a degree, etc., having your current pay increased at your present place of employment tops the list. It is the quickest and easiest of all your options. One quick meeting with your employer results in hundreds of extra dollars being deposited into your bank account every month!So who should ask for a raise? Anybody who hasn’t had one in a while, is underpaid for their level of skill and/or experience, or has really been going the extra mile in their job performance over any reasonable length of time (weeks, not days). If your paycheck comes from the government, you fall outside the realm of people that can ask for a raise, because raises are dealt out in a pre-defined schedule. However, many governmental positio Step # 6 Discover your true values Everyone has his or her own value system. Unfortunately, people rarely look into their own values and instead frequently accept the values imposed by the companies they work for. Just look at the damage caused to the many employees of Enron, World Com, Global Crossing and others whose beliefs did not agree with the misguided values of the CEO's and higher executives. Were all of the employees misguided? Certainly not. Yet, most failed to discover their very honest values, and were penalized anyway, because they conflicted with the values of the leaders of the companies. Step # 7 Discover your true talents Hire a Programmer and Make Millions Today Most people spend approximately 25% to over 67% of their
waking hours working. Eventually, most everyone will want
to work in a career that they enjoy and are paid well enough
to live a prosperous life. Yet, far too many people end up
being miserable in their job and find themselves stuck in a
career that they did not choose. People then get
discouraged, produce less, and become disgruntled.
Unfortunately, people then blame themselves or those they
work for, when in truth there is rarely anything wrong with
them or the people they work for. Instead, maybe their job
selection process is flawed which causes them to fall into
the wrong positions.The Team:Nobody is blessed with ALL the skills it takes to make a successful business. That’s why most businesses have a management team, a creative team, and a technical team. You have to figure out where you fit into that team.If you feel like you are very creative, but don’t have the skills to carry out the technical process, it is very important to find someone who can.What a Programmer Can Do For You:First of all, it is important to know that programmers are probably the least creative people in the world. Programmers don’t know how to match colors, don’t know what “looks hip”, and definitely don’t know how to market themselves or their products.So, when you do hire a programmer, you have to be ready to explain every little detail about your program down to the smallest color.A Program That Solves Problems:When creating and designing a program, you have to figure You have considerable control over selecting your work conditions to get the position you are passionate about by following these 11 steps. Step # 1 Avoid following the normal trial and error career selection process You probably follow the trial and error path to select your job or career. You take jobs that appear to be the best opportunities and try them out. You adjust to what your bosses and the companies want in hopes of advancement. You eventually discover that you are stuck in jobs or careers that you really don't like. You might switch to other jobs and try them out and eventually end up in the same unhappy position. You will want to avoid falling back into the trial and error selection process. Step # 2 Avoid following a career path to please others Many people feel obligated to follow a career to please others or that they feel they “should” pursue. Spousal influence, peer pressure, family tradition, parental pressure, societal pressure, and other outside influences are frequently allowed to dictate career paths. In these situations, you end up working to suit the needs, wants and expectations of someone other than yourself and deep conflicts arise. These conflicts cause you stress, unhappiness and income reduction. You end up working at a position you do not like and eventually disappoint the people you wanted to please in the first place. Step # 3 Focus first on what you want and enjoy in your ideal career You have your own inner wants, needs, and feelings. Many times it is easier to follow how others view you than to look for and accept the truth about yourself. The only way you will know which career is best for you is to focus first on YOU to discover what YOU want and what is important to YOU. Step # 4 Discover your true passions Most people are passionate about something, but have suppressed their feelings for a number of reasons. You will want to discover what you are passionate about so you can find the position that will allow you to feel fulfilled. Your passions are always with you and you probably do not recognize or understand them. You will know you are passionate about something when you become naturally excited just thinking about it and even more excited about doing it. Step # 5 Discover your true desires and priorities Most people do not take the time to discover what their desires and priorities are in life. They seem to just go with the flow and hope that they are heading in the right direction. Yet, the one big reason people feel so frustrated while working is that it conflicts with their true desires and priorities. An example of a desire is: wanting to work outdoors with people.

Step # 7 Discover your true talents Private Equity Deals Offer Alternate Exits to IPOsWSJ article "IPO Obstacles Hinder Startups" offers a good coverage of how IPOs are becoming tougher for small venture-backed companies.This raises the question, what should CEOs and early-stage VCs do, once a company has reached $100 M+ in annual sales? (Below this threshhold, it is absolutely undesirable to go public; investor courting, ongoing investor management, Sarbanes-Oaxley compliance related paperwork and massive expenses - being some key distractors ...)In general, by year 5 or year 6 in a company’s history, the Series A investors, the Founders, and the early executive team that is still around - get itchy to extract some liquidity. Today, given the sophistication, the available money, and the level of activity in the Private Equity industry, a late-stage / LBO fund could easily step in and provide the necessary liquidity.Liquidity, I believe, is no reason to go public prematurely. An enterprise that has built-in scalability should stay private, You probably follow the trial and error path to select your job or career.

This is not surprising, of course, as the establishment of a full- scale translation agency is a quantum leap compared with what it takes to launch a viable freelance practice. Nevertheless, the intellectual and financial rewards of business ownership can be substantial. Below I will discuss various aspects you will have to take into account should you consider beginning your own professional and all-round translation business.All-round translations First of all, what is meant, in this particular context, by the term ‘all-round’? Basically, it refers to the scope of your product. As a freelancer your output would be confined to your own language combination and degree of specialisation; as an agency owner you will be able to supply your clients with translations across a who Step # 3 Focus first on what you want and enjoy in your ideal career You have your own inner wants, needs, and feelings.

Step # 7 Discover your true talents How to Plan a Career r true passionsOn the beginning a little disclaimer -- it’ll be neither a recipe for dummies nor extract from some wise book about self-management. It’ll be rather a small set of advices learnt based on my experience and observations. No theory -- just practice.Know where you’re goingFirst, you have to know generally where you’re heading to -- what you want to do in the long run. You don’t have to be very specific here -- no one expects you’ll exactly know your occupation in the 20-year perspective. However, thing I see so often is young developer, who answers "coding -- that’s what I want to do, never thought about something different". OK, he’ll make his way through internship, wow-I’m-learning-how-to-work-in-the-team, full blown developer, senior developer, local guru (if he’s lucky). It’ll take him 10 years. Maybe 15. And then what?Yes, you can say that being 25 you don&rsquo Most people are passionate about something, but have suppressed their feelings for a number of reasons. You will want to discover what you are passionate about so you can find the position that will allow you to feel fulfilled. Your passions are always with you and you probably do not recognize or understand them. You will know you are passionate about something when you become naturally excited just thinking about it and even more excited about doing it.

Step # 7 Discover your true talents Choosing an Employer-Think About Your Welfare! r true desires and
priorities. An example of a desire is: wanting to work
outdoors with people. An example of a priority is: placing
your family first.However, working for an employer that does not consider your welfare as a human being can outweigh the financial advantages of even the best salary package. Our needs as individuals don’t simply evaporate because we are paid a good salary.Who is the employer?The employer is the organisation for whom you work, but in reality your manager or supervisor is the visible face of your employer. Have you been in a situation where your work group is full of tension and unhappiness whilst another group within the organisation seems to thrive on co-operation, good humour and great results? If staff from both groups were asked what they thought of the “employer” they would each give a very different account. It is hard not to be envious of a work group where they enjoy a positive and constructive work environment, if you are battling along feeling undervalued, criticised and/or ignored.I was recently reading an article in a Human Resources forum where the autho Step # 6 Discover your true values Everyone has his or her own value system. Unfortunately, people rarely look into their own values and instead frequently accept the values imposed by the companies they work for. Just look at the damage caused to the many employees of Enron, World Com, Global Crossing and others whose beliefs did not agree with the misguided values of the CEO's and higher executives. Were all of the employees misguided? Certainly not. Yet, most failed to discover their very honest values, and were penalized anyway, because they conflicted with the values of the leaders of the companies. Step # 7 Discover your true talents The most productive and enjoyable position for you is the one that comes naturally and is easier to do because it fits your talents and skill levels. You will enjoy working, be much more productive, and generate more quality results when you maximize the use of your talents at work. Your increased productivity and higher quality results will attract greater rewards to you. Step # 8 Create or find the position the matches you Unfortunately, many people who actually know what their ideal income positions really are choose not to pursue them. Either they feel guilty pursuing them, or they feel that they are unattainable, or more frequently they do not know how to get them. You want to find or create the position that will allow you to fulfill your passions, desires, values and talents. Now you can create the position to suit you, instead of taking a position and adjusting to it. Step #9 Get help from the right person People are led to believe that they can easily look within themselves and discover themselves on their own. Self-help books and assessment tests claim that reading the books or taking the tests will reveal all you need to get your ideal career. Yet, both methods fall very short of actually getting to the truth. Discovering what you really want, what your true talents or values are is not a self-help process. We humans cannot see our face without using a mirror or a photographic image. Just as you must look into a mirror to see what you really look like, you must have another person act as your objective mirror to see what you really want to do and be in life. Your other-person-mirror must be totally devoted to you and must be able to actively assist you in seeing within, where you may have been reluctant to look before. They must provide you an objective, non-critical mirror. Seek out and get someone to be your objective mirror to discover the truths about yourself, to find or create your ideal position. Career coaches are trained, motivated and focused on assisting you in becoming “The Worlds Leading Expert on You.” Step # 10 Go after the position that best suits YOU Devise a program to attain your very distinct target positions. You will not be trying to “get a job” like so many others. You will be able to focus on getting a very specific income positions. You will not waste time, money, effort or emotional energy on pursuing unwanted position. You will want to recruit your ideal positions, even if they appear not to be available. Why? Because you have now become an extremely valuable and in essence, very marketable source of productivity. You will be very surprised how easy it is to actually get the position you love. Bosses prefer people who are enthusiastic about a job because they love it, and customers are easily attracted to professionals or business owners who love their work. Step # 11 Recognize that your career wants and needs will change Many people think that because they finally found the position they are passionate about, that they will want to stay in it forever. The position that is ideal today will probably not be ideal in a couple of years. Why? Because your passions, desires, priorities and needs will most likely change with time
