Will You Add? - 5 Good Reasons to Get Out of a Career You Hate
How to Manage Your BossWith all of the attention today on effective management techniques and the need for
people skills, it's surprising that one of the most critical areas to getting ahead in your career
doesn't get much attention - the fine art of managing your boss.Managing your boss isn't a matter of "apple polishing" or playing politics. It involves
working together to generate the best solutions for you, your boss and your company.Many talented people are stuck in the old paradigm of expecting their boss to manage
them. They take a passive, reactive stance, waiting for direction and support. They may
complain about a bad boss, but do little to turn things around themselves. They don't
know the small but essential steps they can take to establish a productive dialogue.
Don't st in your decision making ability. You forget to listen in to what your intuition tells you (that still, small voice inside you that knows exactly what’s happening) and you lose the confidence to step up and play a better game. Don’t allow your confidence to shrink and atrophy through inaction. Trust your own instinct and intuition. Even though it’s scary, always remember that you can make choices that serve you well and that you have what it takes to plan and prepare what comes next in your life. Your Relationships Will Suffer
When you’re in a place in life you don’t want to be in, it’s often the people closest to us who see the worst of us.When you’re stressed, frustrated, upset or angry, it’s a partner, friend or family member who you’ll snap at, be short with or not let fully into what’s happening. Give Logo Mats Create A Great ImpressionNext time you’re thinking of purchasing an entrance mat for your company building, think about the benefits of purchasing a logo mat instead.Even if you are loathed to replace your current entrance mat, then think of the many other areas a logo mat can be placed, such as in front of a reception desk, in the board room, in training areas, waiting rooms or by vending machines for example. The reason you should do this is that a well designed logo mat will have a positive impression on your visitors and employees alike.A logo mat is a mat bearing an image, a message, or both that the company wishes to put in front of those who walk over it. The most common uses of logo mat are to reinforce company branding, achieved by displaying the company name and logo, or A lot of people don’t enjoy their work. A lot of people come to hate what they do for a living. I used to be one of them, and left it way too late to get out of what I was doing. I was off sick with stress and on a cocktail of anti-depressants when I was made redundant and hit rock bottom.I had to build myself back up piece by piece, and it was only then that I found that I could do what I really wanted to do. I don’t regret what happened because it woke me up and brought me to where I am now, but I know that I could have made a move sooner if only I’d had the courage. The impact of putting up with a job I hated took its toll, and these are things I see frequently in the people I chose to work with. - Staying Will Cost You in Stress
Chances are you’re already stressed by the situation you’re in. Stress is a feeling of not being in control of what’s happening, not being able to make choices about what happens and feeling powerless about what’s happening.By sticking at a job you hate you are, by definition, causing yourself more stress. You’re ignoring the choices you have and deciding instead to tolerate what you know full well you don’t want to tolerate. The impact of the stress is cumulative, and as time goes by you’ll notice that you get more short-tempered, it gets more difficult to think clearly and your motivation slips away. Ultimately, stress can lead to more serious conditions like depression and physical ailments like high blood pressure (and worse). Continued stress can be very damaging, and as your primary responsibility in life is to make sure you’re okay it’s important to be radically honest with yourself about what’s happening and be prepared to make some choices. - It’ll Limit Your View
When you stay in a job you hate, or even one you just don’t like a whole lot, you’re forcing yourself into a role that doesn’t work for you in some way and is too small for you. The more time you spend in that role the more you come to see it as your reality, and you forget about what can happen outside of that role.Over time your world view shrinks to the confines of the role you’ve forced yourself into, and it becomes more and more difficult to see other options or to look at how else things can be. The more time you spend in that role the smaller your view becomes. Always remember what’s most important to you and what you really want. Always acknowledge the strengths and talents you have and always recognise that you have positive choices you can make. - Your Self-Confidence Will Take a Battering
Spending time in a job you hate sends all the wrong messages to yourself. After a while in a role you don’t want to be in, the message you’re effectively giving yourself is, "I can’t do anything else", "I’m nothing special" or "I don’t deserve anything better than this."Often the biggest impact of squeezing yourself into a role that you don’t want to be in is that it erodes your self confidence and self esteem. You tell yourself that it’s not possible to do anything about the situation you’re in, that you should simply ‘put up with it’, that you don’t have the ability to do anything about the way things are and that you don’t deserve anything better. As time passes, you feel more and more powerless to do anything about the situation and you lose trust in your decision making ability. You forget to listen in to what your intuition tells you (that still, small voice inside you that knows exactly what’s happening) and you lose the confidence to step up and play a better game. Don’t allow your confidence to shrink and atrophy through inaction. Trust your own instinct and intuition.

Give Business Experience Verses Business EducationMany years ago I had a friend who was extremely intelligent, had a photographic memory, and finished university with top marks in business administration. He had all the credentials to get a great job.Sounds good for the most part, wouldn’t you say!! Maybe even a nice boy who you would want to marry your daughter!! Shortly after finishing school he landed a job working for the owner of this large company, whose business did millions a year in revenue.The person he worked for was old world, very little formal business education, and built a wonderful business from scratch. He was shrewd person with tons of business experience under his belt. After working there awhile my friend decides that he can really make a difference in this man’s business.Here is what he actu of not being in control of what’s happening, not being able to make choices about what happens and feeling powerless about what’s happening.By sticking at a job you hate you are, by definition, causing yourself more stress.

Give Manufacturing Your Products In China For Your Home Based BusinessManufacturing products in China for the European and American markets have grown exponentially over the last few years. This is due to the cheap labor and cheap manufacturing costs in the country. It’s an amazing country with multitudes of companies bidding for whatever you want manufactured. I strongly encourage anyone who has a volume internet market to explore the avenue of manufacturing their products in China. You have absolutely nothing to loose.Start off by sending drawings or templates of the product that you are considering manufacturing. When they get back to you, they will insist on you ordering a minimum quantity to attain the price quoted. The competition over there is fierce. There should be no problem them sending you a sample of the product that they have manufa prepared to make some choices. - It’ll Limit Your View

Give Exclusive or Inclusive, Which Jeopardizes the Brand?It has become a growing trend for high-end famous designers to partner with mass-market retailers. We’ve seen it with Karl Lagerfeld and H & M, last season’s partnership with Viktor & Rolf and H&M, and most recently Proenza Schouler and Target. These partnerships have been very lucrative for both sides. One could even argue that the mass-market retailers might be getting more out of the deal.Of course, there are always two sides to each story. From one view point, those who believe in exclusivity are probably all set to throw away their ready-to-wear and haute couture by those said designers. From another view point, those who live on a shoe string budget and have always wanted to indulge are leaping for joy. And then there are those who probably don’t care and don’t know who t li> - Your Self-Confidence Will Take a Battering

Give it time, and the impact on your relationships will be a significant one. You might vent or whine at those closest to you whenever the opportunity arises, or you might start keeping things in because you don’t want to have to talk about or think about what’s going on. Your communication in key relationships becomes less effective and the way you behave in those relationships might be negatively coloured by how you’re thinking and feeling. We’ve all known people who bring us down, who seem to be really negative or just talk about everything that’s wrong, and they’re not pleasant company to be around. Be open and honest with yourself first of all, then be aware of how your situation is leaking out into your behaviour and affecting your relationships. I’m guessing that your intention isn’t to damage your relationships with those closest to you, so keep your positive intention in mind when you’re with them, talk with them honestly when it’s right to, and remember to have fun, laugh and be their friend too. - You’re Not Delivering on Your Capability
You’re more capable than you know. We’ve all got untapped potential and none of us have touched the ceiling of our capability.If you’re running the very real risk of damaging your confidence, self-esteem, relationships and options by sticking at a job you hate, you’re clearly not delivering on your true capability. Even though you know deep down that you can have, do and be more in life you’re not exploring that capability or looking at what you’d love to do, what would put a big grin on your face or what would make you step back and go "Wow!" What do you want for yourself? How would you prefer to think or feel about your work? How would it be if you could find a career that works for you, rather than the other way around? Go with where there’s some energy, fun or excitement even if it looks scary. Have fun with your capability – it’s yours to explore and it’s just waiting to be explored.
