Why a small ad agency may be just what you need.Trying to decide whether you need the services of a big ad agency? Here are a few things to consider, before you hand over your marketing plan (and budget) for the coming year.Big ad agencies are great. In their own little way. They take care of big budget projects, in a big way. But smaller jobs, like sell sheets, brochures, buck slips and direct mail? Forget it. You're going to wait. And wait. And wai
Risks are always involved. Everyone who moves UP the ladder encounters some real challenges. Your fellow associates may be jealous of your talent or ability. They can see you as too ambitious. Keep on doing. Be a mover and shaker.
Tackle the big tasks. Get beyond your comfort zone. Risk failure. You cannot play it safe and expect to get ahead of the pack. Show your courage in presenting NEW ideas to management even if you get knocked down.

Let me tell you a story about Pete and a pizza. After a long day of fighting uncooperative pipes and fixtures, Pete P. Lumber, of Pete's DuperRooter, was looking forward to a nice, hot, decidedly Atkins-disapproved pizza — the stuff of which dreams are made. The week before, Pete was doing a bathroom remodel at Bob's historical Chicago bungalow. The house had only one bathroom, so Pete had to complete the project as fast as possible. Due to a series of unfortunate events, some
An important suggestion is to be very careful with whom YOU keep company. Select your MODEL or “confident” carefully. Do not think that everyone has YOUR best interest at heart.
AMBITION GETS NOTICED
Speak UP when the opportunity presents itself. Don’t be afraid to contribute your best. Let others know your desire and expectation to be a contributor of your talents and skills whenever needed.
Consider yourself a valuable asset to your new department or your new boss. Let it be known that you are willing and able to take on a challenge. Move beyond the usual employee with little ambition. Do it with kindness, yet don’t hold back in fear of what others in the department will say or think.
SOME WRONG STEPS
First, move forward with your plan but never RUN OVER your fellow associates. You don’t have to nor will it be in your best interest. There’s an old saying that the “cream” rises to the TOP. It’s automatic. You’ve seen it in your past experiences and it will happen in your new job. Count on it!
Unfortunately, some new employees get in the “wrong” peer group. Join the wrong “bunch” at the water cooler. Too much gossip. A powder keg of explosives waiting to blow. Not a good place for you. Stay in your corner away from this bad influence.
Every office has the rumor mill. Sharing “secrets” that everyone knows. Talking in hushed tones and looking for trouble. RUN! FAST! NOW!
Associate with those who are focused on the business. Working! Giving a fair return to your employer. Miss the dirt dished out by these folks. Most of it is little more than sour grapes and often deserved by the goof-offs.
DON'T BADMOUTH THE BOSS --
Keep in mind that your BOSS may hold the key to your success. He or She may be your best advocate. Encourager. Cheerleader in your corner. Even if YOU are “smarter” (in your opinion) you are not the boss (yet!)
GROUP SUPPORT
Are you a player? Do you work well with your peers? Can you share the glory and success of a job well done? Is that who you are? “Smart” managers will be aware of how you get along with your fellow associates.
It’s very hard to become a “star” without others helping you along the way. You will need a strong support system. Work on your ability to live in harmony with your fellow associates. Don’t be a loner. Get involved in the good “politics”.
Risks are always involved. Everyone who moves UP the ladder encounters some real challenges. Your fellow associates may be jealous of your talent or ability. They can see you as too ambitious. Keep on doing. Be a mover and shaker.
Tackle the big tasks. Get beyond your comfort zone. Risk failure. You cannot play it safe and expect to get ahead of the pack. Show your courage in presenting NEW ideas to management even if you get knocked down.

Many people believe that if they go to work every day for somebody else, then they are not self-employed. I read a great quote by Brian Tracy that I thought could use repeating:"Always view yourself as self-employed. The biggest mistake that you can ever make in life is ever to think that you work for anybody else but yourself. You are self-employed, you are the president of your own person services corporation".Write that out and pin it up in your office, cubicle

It is hard to find a decent job these days.Yes, there are a lot of odd jobs that you can do. From babysitting to cashiering, dishwashing to being a store clerk, you can actually find any kind of in any state that you want. Finding a part time job may be a lot easier but if you want a steady income in a company that can provide you with job security, well that is a different story.Jobs that entail education and skills may be harder to come by but if you have the cr

Are you or someone you know techno-phobic? Do you have a customer base who is still relies on an old fashioned pen and paper to record appointments, dates, times, places and people? Help you’re average “Joe customer,” yourself or your loved ones to a custom calendar. Conveniently record everything from all your children’s school activities, sporting events, doctor’s appointments, etc. How about keeping track of all your important meetings, lunches, dates, and times?

DO NOT OVER-PROMISE
Be an eager “beaver” but watch your step. Everyone loves a volunteer. Don’t take on more than you can do. Limit your project commitments to a sure thing. You don’t want to be known as “all talk” and an unreliable performer.
Be able to finish every project and make it a “wow” kind of result. Know your limits and be sure you are not stepping into a “minefield” for disaster.
Action Tip: Self-promotion is GOOD for your career. The ambitious person gets noticed and advances UP the corporate ladder. Volunteer only for challenging jobs with a “wow” finish. Never over-promise. Be a reliable source. Go beyond your comfort zone. Give credit due associates. Be a risk taker. Avoid the water-cooler gossip losers.
