1. Be on time - I always tell people there is 20 minutes between success and failure. You show up 10 minutes before work people will think you love your job, you're motivated, and a go-getter. But if you show up 10 minutes late to work every day everyone will think you're a slacker. It's 20 minutes of time that can make or break you. Wake up 20 minutes early and get to work early.
2. Keep your mouth shut - People that cause drama and talk bad about their bosses or others won't last long in a position. One easy way to succeed is not talk bad about your boss, your company, church whatever. Learn to listen and not tear others down and you'll succeed.
3. Meet deadlines - If something is due Friday, get it done by Friday. Don't wait or ask for an extension. Get the job done on time.
4. Go above and beyond - Don't just do the minimum work for the job. Look for ways to excel and do more than just what's expected.
5. Look good and follow the rules - Dress well, cut your hair, and don't look like a slob when you go to work. If your job has a lot of rules follow them. Don't be the guy that breaks all the rules. If you have an issue with a rule discuss it with your supervisor, don't just decide to break it because you don't like it. The old saying "it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission" is a bad saying. That should not be your motto, whoever said that probably got fired soon after.
Work hard, work smart, and use these 5 easy steps to succeed at your job.
