Before they were great leaders, they were great employees. Most accomplished entrepreneurs and executives built their success on a solid foundation.

It seems that everyone wants to be an entrepreneur these days. Everyone wants to be the boss and run their own show. I can certainly understand the motivation. The idea of doing your own thing, of ruling your own destiny, is certainly an attractive one. Besides, the job market sucks.
That's why there's a nearly insatiable demand for start-up and leadership advice.
But here's the thing. The vast majority of you are putting the cart before the horse. The characteristics that will distinguish you and your career are developed, not when you're the boss, but when you're an employee.
You see, all the accomplished entrepreneurs and business leaders I know built their success on a solid foundation. What starts with your parents and teachers, continues with your managers and mentors. Maybe you'll become the manager, the teacher, the successful leader. But only if you were a great employee first.
Here's what it takes:
You manage your responsibilities, not your personal brand. Look, I know personal branding is a big deal these days, so let me be very clear about this. If you're great at what you do, your personal brand will take care of itself. It's the same with great products. The customer experience speaks for itself. Likewise, business isn't about you, it's about what you can accomplish. That's your brand.
You tell the cold, hard truth. And you do it for no other reason than because it's the right thing to do and you care about the company and its business. You don't worry about the consequences. Contrary to popular belief, accomplished leaders and executives know better than to trust yes-men. I've always valued people who say what's on their minds and I myself have never sugarcoated anything. CEOs truly value that, and my reputation stands on it to this day.
You always find a way to meet your commitments and get the job done. If you're motivated to move mountains to meet your organization's objectives and driven to do whatever it takes to satisfy a customer, then you're bound to be a winner in the business world. Those attributes are valued above all others.
You don't interview particularly well. Half the articles on business sites are about interviewing. Granted, if you can't get past the interview, you won't get the job. But on-the-job performance is really all that matters to your career and your company's success. I've always looked for smart, motivated people who could do the job. And I didn't need a bunch of bizarre interview questions to make that determination. Interviewing really isn't rocket science.
You seek achievement, not power or authority. You want to go places, but on your own merits, not by bullying or pushing people around. You want to make good money, but by contributing to the growth and success of the business, not because you feel entitled to it in some way. You don't want things handed to you; you want to be challenged. That's what drives great entrepreneurs, gets them up in the morning, and keeps them working long hours.
You ask "How high?" People always sarcastically ask, "If he tells you to jump, do you say, 'How high?'" While I've never been accused of being a pushover, I've always believed in having a customer service attitude. The popular term these days is "servant leadership." Same thing. I didn't get to where I am today by asking people what they can do for me, but by asking what I can do for them. Funny how well that's worked out over the long haul.
You don't whine--ever. A lot of people seem to think that companies should exist to serve their needs. That's not the way it is and it's definitely not how it should be. I know that's not a popular viewpoint, but it's the truth, nevertheless. And you know what? Good companies and managers have known for decades how to engage, empower, challenge, and motivate employees without indulging whiny, entitlement behavior.
So, before you set your sites on running your own show, first try to be a great employee. Everything else will fall into place. It may not be popular, but for just about all of you, it is the way to go. I guarantee it. What do you think? are you ready?

(Surprising tips on networking in a business gathering by Jemina H.I[Career consultant guest post])
The daily hassles of job searching could almost kill whatever creative senses you once possessed. From one career coach to another, saying you are not doing things right, in the end you amend so much of your personality and your CV you end up misplacing certain unique traits that make you … YOU!!
So, this will not be another one of those articles on punctuality, being friendly and wearing serious colors or haircuts to a business gathering, In fact it’s the complete opposite! Here are some tips I’ve found quite useful to create a lasting impression and establishing fruitful relationships with people you meet while you are networking in conferences, seminars, Job fairs you name it!


1. Reverse the resume rule
More often than not for we job seekers the night before we are to attend a business gathering, in between the time when we are practicing our smiles and rehearsing an introductory note we send for more copies of our CV, yes that’s right!! The resume rule says have as many copies of your CV with you always and everywhere you go but I’m here to tell you my good people *in a preacher’s voice* that it’s totally wrong and won’t help. Yes you want to speedily hand out your CV to the guy/lady from HR you just met so they could call you as soon as possible. However we fail to remember a resume is just a piece of paper and interestingly yours won’t be the only one the HR lady/guy receives in that event so the question is how are you remembered?.......no answer? ok. The answer is DON’T GO WITH A CV!! Yes it’s crazy advice but it works. Let them ask for it and you say, “Sorry it’s not here with me but I do have a soft copy on my Ipad do you mind giving me your email address?” at this point you’ve not only managed to get your CV across but you also got their contact details so once in a while you could throw in season’s greetings messages and subtle reminders about on your CV. Also ensure it’s a direct email address and not that of the organization.

2. Clown colors do the trick!
A few years back I was from the school of thought that you should look as constipatedly(if the word exists) serious as possible when attending business events. Wear dark colors, shave your head, and pack your hair in the tightest bun till your forehead looks like a hammer. I’m sure you are getting my drift. From all the research and discussions I’ve had with employers, I’ve discovered a consensus on one quality job seekers lack and it is the ability to stand out. Job seekers need to understand that employers see thousands of faces and resume’s and they often will contact individuals who made a good lasting impression. Of course it is important to power dress but who says power dressing only embodies dark colors and an overly-serious look. For the ladies maybe next time you go job hunting in a business event try a pink jacket instead of black or navy blue or a bold color of lipstick could work. And for the men how about brightly colored ties or a unique bag the worst that could happen is the HR lady/man says “ wow ,that is an interesting choice of color” this shows you have a daring and unique personality not just some face in the crowd and Yes! Also something they can remember you by during the CV review sessions “the guy with the funny colored tie”.

So hopefully you’ve picked up something useful from these tips and you are ready to create a lasting impression, stand out and shine like the star you were created to be! And don’t forget to follow up!

The start of the year is a great time to gear up to start a business. But, of course, you first need to figure out a winning concept. "You have to come up with a lot of ideas to be successful," says Stephen Key, cofounder of the website inventright.com based in Glenbrook, Nev., and author of One Simple Idea for Startups and Entrepreneurs: Live Your Dreams and Create Your Own Profitable Company, (McGraw-Hill, 2012).
Key, who has licensed more than 20 products in the last 25 years, says he generates ideas by finding different ways to engage his mind, from walking the aisles of stores to brainstorming about holes in the marketplace.
Here are eight techniques from Key and other experts that could help get your creative juices flowing:

Ask yourself, "What's next?"
Successful business ideas are often ahead of the curve. Think about trends and technologies on the horizon and how you might move into those areas, says Sergio Monsalve, partner at Norwest Venture Partners, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based venture capital group. He suggests, for example, thinking about innovations related to the living room and home entertainment systems now that companies like Apple are developing new television technologies. "What can that mean in terms of new ways to live in your house and be entertained?" he says.

Do something about what bugs you.
When Colin Barceloux was in college, he thought textbooks cost far too much. In 2007, two years after graduating, he decided to take action and founded Bookrenter.com, a San Mateo, Calif.-based business that offers textbook rentals at about a 60 percent discount. What began as a one-man operation created out of frustration now has 1.5 million users and 200 employees. "You just have to look at what frustrates you," he says. "There's your business idea right there."

Look for new niches.
Your business idea doesn't have to reinvent the wheel. Take a look at what some of the big players in an industry are missing and figure out if you can fill the gaps, Key says. In 2003, for instance, he started the company Hot Picks, now based in San Jose, Calif., after realizing the major brands in the guitar pick industry weren't offering collectible novelty picks. Key designed a skull-shaped pick that filled an empty niche and was sold in 1,000 stores, including Wal-Mart and 7-Eleven. "The big guys leave a tremendous amount of opportunity on the table," he says.

Apply your skills to an entirely new field.
Think about your skills and whether they might be useful in a new area, suggests Bill Fischer, professor ofinnovation management 
at IMD
, the top-rated Swiss business school, and co-author of The Idea Hunter: How to Find the Best Ideas and Make them Happen (Jossey-Bass, 2011). Consider, for example, JMC Soundboard, a Switzerland-based company that builds high-end loudspeakers. Jeanmichel Capt invented the speaker by applying his experience building guitars as a luthier, using the same resonance spruce to create a loudspeaker that produces a high-quality sound and looks like a sleek wood panel. There's also Providence, R.I.-based Dear Kate, a company founded by Julie Sygiel, who used her training in chemical engineering to create a stain-resistant, leak-proof underwear material that active women can use without worrying about menstrual leakage during a workout.

Find a category lacking recent innovations.
When coming up with ideas, Key likes to identify markets that haven't had many recent innovations. For example, when he realized there were few new developments in the product information label business, he created information, a label consisting of two layers—a top layer that rotates with open panels through which you can see, and a bottom label that you can read by spinning the top layer over it. Companies needing to fit more information about a medication, for example, could use the extra label space for the details.

Make a cheaper version of an existing product.
Companies often get their start by offering customers an existing product at a lower price. Take Warby Parker, an eyeglasses company launched in 2010 by four business school friends. The New York-based business sells prescription glasses, which are typically priced at $300 or more, for $95. Since its launch, it has grown to 100 employees.

Talk to shoppers.
To come up with an idea that meets people's needs, there's no better way than by talking to shoppers. If you are interested in mountain bikes, hang out in the aisles of sports and bike shops and ask customers what they wish they could find in the marketplace. If you're interested in developing an e-commerce business, consider sending an online survey to potential customers to learn about their needs and interests.

Play the mix and match game.
Walk up and down the aisles of a drug, hardware or toy store combining two products across the aisle from each other into one, Key says. That should spark quite a few ideas, but be prepared for most of them to be bad. "You will come up with all these horrible ideas, and every once in a while you will find some brilliant idea out there," he says.

If everybody loved their job, they probably wouldn't call it work. The lucky ones are those guys who have figured out how to get paid for doing what they love
http://www.jobfetcher.org/2013/01/i-hate-my-job.html

A man came home late from work, tired and
irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for
him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah sure, what is it?” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask
such a thing?” the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much
do you make an hour?”
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down.
Looking up, he said,
“Daddy, may I please borrow $10?”
The father was furious, “If the only reason you
asked that is so you can borrow some money to
buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you
march yourself straight to your room and go to
bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I
work hard everyday for such childish behavior!”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut
the door. The man sat down and started to get
even angrier about the little boy’s questions.
How dare he ask such questions only to get some
money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed
down, and started to think: Maybe there was
something he really needed to buy with that $10
and he really didn’t ask for money very often.
The man went to the door of the little boy’s
room and opened the door.
“Are you asleep, son?” He asked.
“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you
earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and
I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the
$10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh,
thank you daddy!” He yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out
some crumpled up bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money,
started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and
then looked up at his father.
“Why do you want more money if you already
have some?” the father grumbled.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,”
the little boy replied.
“Daddy, I have $20 now. CAN I BUY AN HOUR
OF YOUR TIME? Please come home early
tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

This story is a reminder to all of you who are
working so hard in life. We should not let time
slip through our fingers without having spent
some time with those who really matter to us,
those close to our hearts. If we die tomorrow,
the company that we are working for could
easily replace us in a matter of days. But the
family & friends we leave behind will feel the
loss for the rest of their lives. And come to
think of it, we pour ourselves more into work
than to our family. An unwise investment indeed

If you have been applying for jobs through job boards with no positive response, I suggest you redirect your energy to the unconventional method: social media.
According to Jobvite Social Recruiting Survey in 2011, 80.2% of employers use social media to recruit. So while you are having fun and connecting with friends and family, you can also search for job opportunities. Its more interesting, less frustrating and gives you a peek into the unadvertised jobs and probably get someone to recommend you for a job since we are gradually shifting from commercial websites to greater human interaction. Some of these social networks include:
Linkedin: This social medium is a large professional network where members interact with each other. The site is made up of a lot of recruiters and employers and usually jobs are posted by members. Most of these jobs are not advertised on the job boards. Getting yourself signed up will get you connected to recruiters and even unadvertised jobs.
Facebook: Facebook being the largest social network can help your job search. You can write down the top 10 companies you would want to work with and search for people that work there by searching through corporate groups on the page. You can write them since there is no restriction, get to know them and with time establish a relationship with them. When you establish a relationship, you have better chances of getting help.
Twitter: By conducting twitter searches and following recruiters on your account, you can learn a lot about them and their companies. You can also tweet about your job search as long as you have established a lot of followers prior to your job search.
Blackberry Messenger: blackberry messenger has helped a lot of people get unadvertised jobs. People send broadcasts especially when there is an urgent vacancy that needs to be filled. If you have a blackberry, look out for job related broadcasts or you could send a broadcast about your job search. Someone might have something for you, you never know.
While opening your facebook, twitter or Linkedin account, it is important you use your name for easy identification. Also, it is important to complete the profile information as required. You never know who might be interested in you.
If you have been doing it the conventional way with no results, try the unconventional method and please send us feedback on your experience.

Think you deserve a bigger paycheck? Want to ask for a raise but not sure you’ll get one?
Plenty of employees are finding themselves in this predicament, because many recession-wary companies that stopped handing out raises during the economic downturn are still hesitant to open their wallets today. But career experts say that despite all the penny-pinching, a salary hike isn’t necessarily out of the question–so you might as well ask.

If You Can't Get More Money, Get More Perks
America's Best- and Worst-Paying Jobs


Employees Want a Bonus, Not a Holiday Party


How To Turn Down A Job Offer

“Clearly most companies today are not looking for opportunities to hand out money,” says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and author of Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant. “During the boom era of the late ’90s when talent was scarce and retention was top of mind, nearly the opposite was true. While the corporate landscape is different now, you shouldn’t sit idly and feel dissatisfied in silence. If you have supportive evidence your salary is at sub-market levels, you should speak up.”
She says it is possible to get a raise, even in an environment where money isn’t exactly falling from trees. “Your organization has invested time and money in you. Savvy bosses understand that unhappy and underpaid employees are under-performing employees, which helps no one. It’s a drain on their time to have to re-hire and train a replacement that fits the corporate culture. So if you have a legitimate request, you do have a certain amount of leverage.”
Is Your Body Language Costing You A Promotion?
Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio, a career expert and co-founder of SixFigureStart, a career coaching firm, agrees. “I think it’s always a good idea to ask for a raise, even when employers are not handing them out,” she says. “But only when that discussion is tied to performance.” Employees should keep careful records of how their actions helped the bottom line of their company, or helped other team members improve the bottom line of the company, she suggests. “No one is going to hold your hand and remind you of the great things you did all year,” she adds, so keep track and share them with your manager at the appropriate time.
In Pictures: How to Get a Raise When They’re Not Handing Them Out
Asking for a pay raise is a delicate conversation and something you should not do without careful planning, says Dr. Katharine Brooks, director of Liberal Arts Career Services at The University of Texas at Austin and author of You Majored in What? Mapping Your Path from Chaos to Career. “Being prepared can help you overcome your hesitation.”

Finally, the holidays are here and you've had a chance to relax and reboot. But as you begin to unwind on Christmas vacation, and enjoy yourself, you may find yourself asking: Have I been happy at work this year? What other job could I be doing that would be more fulfilling -- monetarily and spiritually?

If you're like many people, you've probably lost track of what would make you happy at work -- but are deep in touch with what makes you miserable. You can't change your career or your life by snapping your fingers, but you can begin to think about what that true passion might be. Once you understand what you really want to be doing, you can start connecting the dots and figuring out how to get from here to there.


During the holidays, you can start the process of changing your career with these 7 tips:

Many women are scared to pursue their dreams because of fear of neglecting their homes. Today, we still find a few women confined to their homes as house wives and not happy. A lot of other people have risen above their fears; some have got it right, some have not. Leading a balanced life doesn’t mean that you will not be faced with challenges. It simply is rising above them, being able to handle what life throws at you. Being a house wife and not pursuing your dreams is not a guarantee that your home will turn out perfect, nothing is perfect. Even Solomon in the bible, who is considered the wisest man, when describing a virtuous woman said “she seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands”. A woman is not excused from working. A virtuous woman is known for her strength. If you have ever thought it impossible to work and keep your home in order, you should think differently this moment. There are no laid out rules on how to go about it. Going after what you want is a step worth taking. Life they say is not a bed of roses, even if it were, roses have thongs. Its not easy but every woman has an inner strength that keeps her going, strength not found in men. So once you love something, and you are convinced to do it, go for it.

Nothing affects employee morale more insidiously than persistent workplace negativity. It saps the energy of your organization and diverts critical attention from work and performance. Negativity occurs in the attitude, outlook, and talk of one department member, or in a crescendo of voices responding to a workplace decision or event.
Learn About Workplace Negativity

As a manager or human resources professional, you are closely in touch with employees throughout the company. This allows you to keep your fingers on the pulse of the organization to sense workplace negativity. It enables you to establish and heed early warning signals that all is not well. You receive employee complaints, do exit interviews with employees who leave, and know the reputation of your organization in your community.
You watch the discussions on employee Intranets, manage the appraisal and 360-degree feedback process, and coach managers in appropriate staff treatment. This information will help you learn to identify the symptoms of negativity before its morale-busting consequences damage your workplace. It will also assist you in preventing and curing workplace negativity.

Negativity is an increasing problem in the workplace, according to Gary S. Topchik, the author of Managing Workplace Negativity. He states, in a Management Review article, that negativity is often the result of a loss of confidence, control, or community. Knowing what people are negative about is the first step in solving the problem.
In my experience, when rumblings and negativity are beginning in your organization, talking with employees will help you understand the exact problems and the degree to which the problems are impacting your workplace. You will want to identify the exact employee groups who are experiencing the negativity, and the nature of the issues that sparked their unhappiness.
Perhaps the organization made a decision that adversely affected staff. Perhaps the executive manager held a staff meeting and was perceived to threaten or ignore people asking legitimate questions. Maybe staff members feel insecure because concern exists over losing a product line.
Perhaps underground rumors are circulating about an impending layoff. People may feel that they give the organization more than they receive in return. They may feel that a coworker was mistreated or denied a deserved promotion.
Whatever the cause of the workplace negativity, you must address the issues. Or like a seemingly dormant volcano, they will boil beneath the surface, and periodically bubble up and overflow to cause fresh damage.

Inside banker a first novel by Ogemdi Ike is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the typical Nigerian banker. Imagine a bank’s branch waking up to the reality that a massive fraud has been committed, and the masterminds behind the crime most probably within its ranks.
Will a dark secret prevent Nene, the branch’s Operations Manager and the most liable banker from proclaiming her innocence?
They say the simplest solution often solves the most complex of problems. Will that be the case when Tonye the branch’s resident auditor is pitched against the perfect crime?
If you enjoy real life crime stories especially the seemingly irresolvable kind, this is the book for you. It is hard to believe but in Lagos alone crimes like these go on in its seemingly respectable banks.
IB is a humorous look at white-collar crime in contemporary Nigeria, a novel sprinkled with some romance, a dash of raw erotica and of course a nail biting fraud investigation. Will the inside man be found out or should I say …the inside banker.


Ogemdi Ike is a banker. He has worked in various banks in corporate Nigeria. While he enjoys and appreciates his job as a banker by day, at night he indulges in his passion, which is writing, weaving tales of contemporary crime stories in Nigeria. Ogemdi believes that when you follow your dreams and make your hobby a job, then you will never have to work a day in your life. He lives in Lagos and is currently working on his second novel.

Nothing affects employee morale more insidiously than persistent workplace negativity. It saps the energy of your organization and diverts critical attention from work and performance. Negativity occurs in the attitude, outlook, and talk of one department member, or in a crescendo of voices responding to a workplace decision or event.
Learn About Workplace Negativity

As a manager or human resources professional, you are closely in touch with employees throughout the company. This allows you to keep your fingers on the pulse of the organization to sense workplace negativity. It enables you to establish and heed early warning signals that all is not well. You receive employee complaints, do exit interviews with employees who leave, and know the reputation of your organization in your community.
You watch the discussions on employee Intranets, manage the appraisal and 360-degree feedback process, and coach managers in appropriate staff treatment. This information will help you learn to identify the symptoms of negativity before its morale-busting consequences damage your workplace. It will also assist you in preventing and curing workplace negativity.

These are 7 of my favorite basic career enhancement habits to help you enhance and create opportunities in your early career. However, in order for these tips to work, you need to put them in practice. Make them into a habit and you will see them work for you - almost instantly.

1. Read
You need to consistently continue reading even after you finish school. In fact there are more to read now than when you were in school.

What do you read about? For starters, read about the industry you are in. Grab hold of industry magazines and trade publications. Read what makes your industry tick, issues affecting it, the key players and what they are doing. There are plenty to learn in these publications. Also learn to read general business magazines and newspapers. Get a broad view of what affects people everywhere and where they live. Read about topics on people and society. Grab hold of psychology and sociology book. Learn about people and why they do what they do.

Read and build a wealth of knowledge. Reading gives you career enhancement and invaluable knowledge that no one can take away from you.

2. Race Against Yourself
Many young graduates when they think about career enhancement, they also think about competing with their peers. In this career race, while it is easy to believe that you are competing with the next person for that promotion, resist it. This race is with yourself. You are your own worst enemy. Not your competitor. If your career is a race, learn to better your own time, not just run faster than the next guy.

The rationale is very simple. If you focus too much on others, you forget your own shortcomings. So while you can outwardly beat your competitor, you forget to improve on yourself. Eventually, what will help you sustain this marathon is enduring values that take time to learn. For example, learning to manage time, taking initiative, taking personal responsibility for your own actions, learning to lead and so on. Career enhancement is always about what you can do for yourself.

3. Learn From Others
Observe and learn from others. Early on, learning about career enhancement is about observing the people around you - the successful ones and unsuccessful ones. What they did right to put them there and what did they not do enough to achieve more?

You don't have to make mistakes others have made. That way you can move faster and pay a lesser price. At the same time, learn what others have done right and model after them. Be open minded and know that not everything you know is right and sometimes there are people out there who genuinely wants to guide you.

4. Surround Yourself With Good People
Surround yourself with successful people. Successful people does not mean high ranking people, they can very well be your peer only. Get the best positive influence you can from them. There are a lot to learn from people who are good at what they do and more importantly people with good values and work/life principles.

5. Be Sincere
Learn from early on from experienced people in the workforce who can detect "fake people", avoid these "fake people". Learn to be true to yourself and be truthful to others. If you want career enhancement, lessen gossips – better yet, do not participate in it. Help colleagues genuinely and offer words of encouragement when the need arise. When you are sincere, benefactors appear to help you when you most need it.

6. Listen, Listen, Listen
You may not be used to the way some people talk you. They can be superiors from other departments or they can be your own bosses. But always make it a point to listen. Listen to the way people talk and what people are trying to say without judging the way they say it.

Sometimes, the way people say it may well be how they feel you can learn. When you listen, you are giving yourself a chance to learn and hence contribute to career enhancement. more http://www.jobfetcher.org/2012/11/7-personal-career-enhancement-habits-to.html
