[R45]Reach For The Top

by Ian Mcallister, Ian

I can think of three ways:

1. Become a top sales-person
2. Become a popular writer
3. Pass exams.

I can only help you with the last two methods.

1. The leader of your country... President or prime minister or dictator (?) reached the top of the ladder of success by being a good salesperson. Perhaps she sold herself to voters. Maybe he sold himself to fighting forces who put him in power.

2. If you're at least 16 years old - Have you learned to write gripping essays? Make money from writing.

You don't need salesmanship to make money - more than enough to pay for sales advisors with your essays.

Why do I say 16 years old? Because Nori's success was bringing her good money at that age from her website. Read about it here http://case-studies.sitesell.com/buildwebprofit.html#NORI

Nori just wrote essays about her holidays, and took photographs. Google is perfect for this idea. You simply write about 30 interesting essays (pages) before submitting them to Google Adsense. Continued success means keep writing new essays.

Popularity

Is your subject popular enough for hundreds of visitors/day? Look on Overture.com to find out what is the top price for each keyword in your subject. Look for a subject with lots of keywords for which advertisers pay $5 or more per click. Each time your Adsense page gets a click, some of that $5 goes to Google and some goes to you.

So you don't need any salesmanship at all to make money from Google. If you have 500 keywords and write two essays per week you'll finish in...

If you follow your initial success you'll think of other approaches over the years. But meanwhile, you'll make money with your essays.

You don't even need to know anything about putting up websites for success. http://find.sitesell.com/buildwebprofit.html will do all the technical stuff for you, while you concentrate on writing. They also show you other ways to make money once you're earning well from Adsense.

3. Does this mean that you don't need exams?

a. Passing exams proves you can learn. Study broadens your mind. Writers and salespeople must see other points of view than their own.
b. Even if you fail your exams, your mind has already been broadened. But why not get the credit for your work if you can?
c. Credit - you may be surprised at the respect you get with a string of letters after your name. You get more respect still from being able to write essays well, but if you have both things going for you...
d. Planning success in employment? You must pass exams.

Employers And Exams

Why do employers insist on success in exams? They prove you can learn things.

Why do employers require experience? They don't respect what you learned to pass your exams. You learn on the job after passing your exams.

Knowledge Not Needed

That means that you don't need the knowledge. You need the exam passes. My book about "Exam Mastery" will get you unearned exam success. I've passed several exams without knowing much about the subject.

Once you're on the employment ladder of success

Be as cynical about climbing the ladder as I taught you to be in my exam book. Your target was to pass exams, not to gain knowledge. Now your target is to climb the ladder of success, not to give your best work.

1. Read John Molloy's "Dress for Success". Apply it. Life's just as unfair as exams. Your dress shouldn't matter for success, but it does.

2. Study your bosses. Who decides promotions? Interests? Attitudes?

3. Attend all meetings. This takes you from your work, but your target is success. Make your voice heard, using what you learned from my free report about essays. This will

a. give you practice in public speaking and
b. the bosses will notice you. Tailor what you say to your research in step 2.
c. If you get the chance to run a brain-storming session, organise the information on the board as you learned from my book about exams. That impresses bosses.

4. Attend all seminars and study the format. Now use your practice in public speaking to run a seminar. This will really make the bosses sit up and take notice. Make sure to consider step 2 when you're planning your seminar. Use all the tricks in my essays report to make your seminars a success.

When you succeed you will know that you couldn't have reached the top without getting onto the ladder of success.

The modern executive rarely believes in managing by the ’seat of your pants’, realizing that it is not practical in today’s business world. Those who manage others need to have practical, working knowledge, and they need to get it from any relevant source, including training and the use of different management techniques. Many opt for management coaching courses, while others opt for business coaching in a one on one setting, while yet others prefer self study.

The "Dummies" series of "how to" books on a wide range of subjects is one of the most widely-recognized sources for self-education. Now, "Managing for Dummies" has been added to the series. Whether new to management and looking for a good resource on the basics, or an experienced manager seeking help with troubleshooting issues or refining management skills, "Managing for Dummies" is an easy-to-read, well-organized resource for real-life information on the subject.

Just like the rest of the "For Dummies" series, Managing for Dummies makes no assumptions about past experience and won’t insult you for being new to the field. This book is a witty, well structured, and easily understood look at the major components of management and the keys to success in the managing world.

One key point of this book is that managers need to learn to delegate. A manager should be managing a hand-picked staff instead of trying to do everything himself. To make sure the staff works well, managers need to learn how and who to hire.

Teamwork is the wave of the future as companies are discovering that more and more specific problems as well as the successful implementation of new or changed policies are handled better by team effort. Skill areas that are covered are conflict resolution, employee coaching, team development, and joint effort.

The book "Managing for Dummies" places a lot of emphasis on the importance of good communication skills. Without communicating effectively, the knowledge or innovative thinking of any manager won’t amount to much. You can’t motivate without communicating, and good communicators get great results in terms of performance from their employees.

Managers must have the flexibility to adapt rapidly to changes in critical deadlines. They must also have the managerial skills to help the members of their workforce go with the flow, no matter how rapidly it changes. The book includes discussions about developing standards for corporate ethics and ways to effectively deal with office politics.

Another important, hard skill for managers is evaluating how well the company and your employees are performing. How to go about doing this is also explained in the book. It will help you understand the value of constructive criticism, rewarding great performance, and also how and when to let go of people should their performance no longer live up to the needs and expectations of the company. Like with all "Dummies" books, it both offers a great way to learn the basics and to gain a fresh view on the topic.

Part of the "Dummies" instruction book series, "Managing for Dummies" is an excellent source for learning how to run a business and be an effective manager. Regardless of whether you are a rookie manager, or an experienced veteran, this book breaks down the importance of using teamwork and better communication skills . It also explains the importance of finding well-qualified task and delegating work tasks to them. This book offers a self-study method which can augment traditional one-on-one business coaching. A vital tool in management coaching, this book utilizes an easy-to-read and well-structured format.
