3 Want to kick-start your career? Then you should really zero in on results, says motivational trainer Brian Tracy.
By mastering high-return tasks -- and expanding your job to embrace new goals -- you boost the odds of getting noticed.
People who score plum jobs and glide into the fast track play by the following rules, Tracy says.
** Contribution is everything. "Companies or people do not set wages or salaries. They merely administer the judgments of the marketplace," he said. The more you contribute to your company's success, the more leverage you'll have in getting paid more.
** Nuke job insecurity. People are insecure in their jobs and face stagnant income levels because they fail to boost their value. "If a person doesn't continually learn and grow, developing his skills ever higher, (his value) will gradually decline over time," he wrote in "Create Your Own Future."
What will follow? "Terminations, layoffs, downsizing and extended periods of unemployment."
