When in doubt, be generous The biggest secret to success

When in doubt, be generous The biggest secret to successWhen in doubt, be generous The biggest secret to successWell, today is the day where we wrap up this 10-part series. Have you enjoyed it? I sure hope so. Ive had a blast sharing all this stuff with you.And if you havent checked out Michael Hyatts5 Days to Your Best Year Ever, it has been a sort of unofficial sponsor of this series. Its the best goal-setting program Ive ever done, and this is my third year going through it.I highly recommend it.Click here to learn how to have your best year ever.All right, on with the final lessonLesson 10 Be generousDo you know what the biggest secret to a successful life is?Be generous.Its so simple and yet so easy to ignore. Heres whyWe think that being generous is something we do once we get famous. And thats not how it works at all.A friend of mine just shared thisAnytime I start getting scared of running out of something, I give away something. I have more than enough love, money, work, fri endship, food, time, and energy to share. Always.I agree. The secret to getting more is to give more. The most successful people I know are not hoarders. Quite the opposite, in fact. And heres my belief on thatSuccessful people are not generous because theyre successful. Theyre successful because theyre generous.Certainly, you run across your occasional Scrooges. But in my experience, those people are the exception, not the norm. Thats just what Ive seen in my whole life, so Im not speaking for everyone, obviously.But thats enough experience to convince me of an important lessonWhen in doubt, be generous.When you have an opportunity to get versus give, go ahead and give.Generosity as a growth strategyI remember starting my blog back in 2010. It wasnt growing, people werent reading, and I wasnt having fun.So I decided to shift something. Realizing I wasnt doing my best work, I decided to do the opposite. I was afraid that if I gave away my best writing on my blog, no one would want t o pay me for my best work. But that kind of scarcity thinking wasnt really working. So I made one simple shiftI decided to start giving away my best work for free.Heres what happens when you do that. Two things, actually1. People start to notice when you give your best work away for free.Why? Because its generous. It makes people think, She gave me all this for free? Wow.Not only that, they trust you even more, believing that paying you would bring even greater value.Which brings me to point 22. You do better work.Look. You dont have a ceiling on what youre capable of. You can keep improving.When I started giving away A+ content on my blog, I started writing better content. When the time came to write a book, I was a much better writer.As you give your work away, your capacity to do better work increases. It has to.So thats the simple short lesson here todayDo your best work for free right now. Give it all away. Jeff GoinsBut wait a second, Jeff, dont you say to never work for free? Thats right. InReal Artists Dont Starve, one of the rules is just that. Dont work for free.But heres the catchYou need to always work for something, and that something doesnt have to be money.When you share a photo on Instagram, you are practicing in public. You are putting your work on display for people to see. You arent working for free. Youre earning peoples attention.The same principle applies when you write on your blog for free. Youre working for email subscribers (or at least, you should be).So, yes. Value your work. But always be generous with it. Give it away in the places where people will pay attention to you.That doesnt mean you have to give all your work away or that you cant charge for what you do at the same time. It just means that when in doubt, its almost always a good rule to be generous.Why?Because, as my friend said, it sets you free from fear. It makes you a better person.Generosity sets you free from fear. Jeff GoinsSo, pay for that friends lunch today when y ou both awkwardly look at the check. Spend some that extra bit of time (in spite of feeling busy) with someone who is hurting. Give it all away.Ive always loved this Annie Dillard quote. Its about writing, but really, I think it applies to any of us who have a gift to share with the world spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.And when you feel fear telling you this is not a good idea, remember thats what fear does. It tries to kee p you quiet. Anything you hold on to eventually turns to dust.So, what are you going to give away today?Thisarticlefirst appeared on Goins, Writer.

Learn to Use Strong Language at Work

Learn to Use Strong Language at Work Learn to Use Strong Language at Work Have you ever noticed that some people command respect when speaking while others dont? It all comes down to the power of strong language.Strong language is the difference between telling yur boss that you need the day off and asking if it would be possible to take the day off. While its neverokay to disrespectyour superiors, it is important to take charge and act on what you need.The power of strong language can be a hard concept to grasp and even harder to implement if you arent used to actively telling people how you feel and what you need. However, once you have learned how to use strong language in your professional life, youll see an immediate and noticeable difference in how others treat you. If you draw clear boundaries every time you speak, people will have a much harder time taking advantage of you.Strong Language inActionAssume you are a manager. Think about how you would react if someone asked yo u this Can I take the day off? If its too busy or you cant make it work, thats fine.This statement implies that the partie would like the day off but doesnt care much about it. You may decide that it isnt worth going out of your way to make it work for them. You would probably check what the schedule looks like for that day before letting your employeeknow if they could take the day off or not.Now, think about how you would respond if an employee said the following insteadI need to take this day off because I have a personal obligation to tend to.Chances are that you would react very differently.When you make a statement instead of posing a question, people tend to accept it instead of questioning it. When youtell someone that you need to take the day off for personal reasons, you are activelytelling them the situation instead of passively asking if the situation is possible.This leaves them littlechoice but to accept the statement or put up a fight about it. Most employers would ra ther not start the fight. Theyll understand if you need to take a day off here or there provided you give ample notice, of course.Saying No Strong Language Is the KeyAnother situation in whichstrong language is criticalis when you have to say No to someone.I actually found myself in this situation recently, and I acted incorrectly but the good news is you can learn from my mistakeIm usually pretty firmwhen it comes to telling people I cant do something,but an unexpected engagement sort of blindsided me into using weak language. Lo and behold, I didnt end up getting out of it.I was asked if I could come to an event. Even though I had other plans, I responded with the following If you really need me and want me there, I can come. As Im writing this, I see clearlyhow weak and unassertive Isounded. How I should have answered was, Ive made other plans because I wasnt aware that you wanted me to be there.NoteOne very important thing to knowis that you dont owe anyone at work an explanat ion if you need time off or cannot do extra work that is above and beyond your original agreement. Simply saying I need time off or I cannot do that should suffice. Ifsomeone prods you for more information, all you need to say is Its personal or Id rather not discuss it.The bottom line is that we all find ourselves in situations where we need to assert our wants, needs, and boundaries,but it can be hard to articulate these things. Using powerful language shows others that you arent going to back down and let them choose for you.Whether you are at work, with friends, or even with your family, strong language can help you take control of your life no matter the situation.Michele Lando is a certified professional resume writer and the founder ofWrite Styles.

Top Employee Complaints in the Workplace

Top Employee Complaints in the WorkplaceTop Employee Complaints in the WorkplaceKnowing what makes employees unhappy is half the battle when you think about employee work satisfaction, morale, positive motivation, and retention. By listening to employees and providing opportunities for them to communicate with company managers, you can foster a positive work environment where production rises along with morale. HR Solutions Inc., a Chicago-based management consulting firm that specializes in employee engagement surveys, analyzed recurring themes in employee surveys and compiled a top 10 list. The job satisfaction study included more than 2.2 mio respondents with 2,100 organizations representing various industries. How many of the top responses are true in your workplace? 1. Higher Salaries Pay is the number one area where employees seek change. You can foster a work environment in which employees feel comfortable asking for a pay raise. It helps employees feel that they have reco urse when they are feeling underpaid. 2. Internal Pay Equity Employees are concerned particularly with pay compression, the difference in pay between new and longer-term employees. With the average annual pay increase for employees around 2-4 percent, some employees perceive that newcomers are better paid- and, often, they are. Remember that employees have every right to discuss pay, even if employers wish they didnt. 3. Benefits Programs Specifically, many employees feel their health insurance costs too much, especially prescription drug programs when employers pass on part of their rising costs to employees. Employees want comprehensive benefits at no extra cost. 4. Over-Management Workplaces that foster employee empowerment, employee enablement, and broader spans of control by managers will see fewer complaints. A popular word- micromanaging- also expresses this sentiment. 5. Better Guidelines for Merit Pay Increases Employees believe the compensation system shoul d place greater emphasis on merit and contribution. Employees find pay systems in which all employees receive the same pay increase annually to be demoralizing. Such pay systems hit the motivation and commitment of your best employees hardest as they may begin asking whats in this for me? A transparent system wherein employees know what merit increases are based on also is important. As you adopt a merit pay system, one component is education so that employees know specifically what behaviors and contributions merit additional compensation. Employees who do not meet the standard must be informed by their manager about how their performance needs to change to merit a larger pay increase. 6. Human Resources Department Response to Employees The Human Resources department needs to be more responsive to employee questions and concerns. In many companies, the HR department is perceived as the policy-making, policing arm of management. In fact, in forward-thinking HR departments, respo nsiveness to employee needs is one of the cornerstones. 7. Favoritism Employees want the perception that each employee is treated equivalently with other employees. If there are policies, behavioral guidelines, methods for requesting time off, valued assignments, opportunities for development, frequent communication, and just about any other work-related decisions you can think of, employees want fair treatment. 8. Communication and Availability Employees want face-to-face communication time with both their supervisors and executive management. This communication helps them feel recognized and important. And, yes, your time is full because you have a job too. However, a managers main job is to support the success of all his or her reporting employees. Thats how the manager magnifies her own success. 9. Heavy Workloads Departments are understaffed, and employees feel as if their workloads are too heavy, and their time is spread too thinly. This complaint becomes worse as la yoffs, the economy, your ability to find staff, and your business demands grow. To combat this, each company should help employees participate in continuous improvement activities. 10. Facility Cleanliness Employees want a clean, organized work environment in which they have the necessary equipment to perform well. They appreciate not having to share or borrow or bring equipment from home more than you will ever know.

Navy Class A School Student Policies and Restrictions

Navy Class A School Student Policies and RestrictionsNavy Class A School Student Policies and RestrictionsAfter boot camp, Navy recruits attend technical training, usually called class A school. During technical training, there are restrictions on what recruits can and canelend do while attending Navy schools. These restrictions are divided into different phases. In short, technical training begins with numerous restrictions, and, as time goes on, restrictions are steadily lifted. These rules were laid out inCNET Instruction 1540.20, Navy Military Training Policies Procedures. That policy has since been deprecated, but the rules are likely to be found or modified by the different Navy schools. Liberty Policies in Class A Schools A key component of the liberty policy must be an understanding of the equilibrium required between personal and professional life, and that liberty is dependent on all military and technical training requirements and work being completed. The objective o f this policy is to provide students a phased and sequential transition from the highly restrictive recruit training environmentto one more like that which is experienced by Sailors in the Fleet. Training commands, which are located in the same rtlich area, will coordinate with one another to ensure a uniform policy for all students in their area. The following Phase Ladder of Privileges Liberty Policy is applicable to those students who are reporting to Navy schools directly from Recruit Training Command. Phase I- The first three weeks after recruit training Wearing of civilian clothing is not authorized.On-base liberty is only during the training week.Consumption of alcoholic beverages is not authorized.All liberty will expire at 2200.All must complete command indoctrination prior to off-base liberty. Phase II- Personnel may be advanced to Phase II upon meeting the following conditions Three weeks onboard under Phase ICompletion of NMT core curriculumWithin Navy physical fitness s tandardsSatisfactory uniform appearanceSatisfactory academic standingSatisfactory military performanceAt the discretion of the Commanding Officer, liberty during school nights will expire at a time to ensure six hours of continuous sleep in 24 hours. Phase III- Personnel may be advanced to Phase III upon meeting the following conditions Four weeks in Phase IIWithin Navy physical fitness standardsSatisfactory uniform appearanceSatisfactory academic standingSatisfactory military performanceWill allow Sailors under NMT to experience liberty equivalent to that of staff The chain of command or a nonacademic review board may recommend Sailors be tischset back to a previous liberty phase for military infractions or unsatisfactory performance. Gender Integration and Berthing The appropriate interaction which occurs between men and women in the training command is very beneficial in preparing new Sailors to operate in the mixed-gender environment, which they will encounter aboard ship. C onfiguration and policy guidelines for berthing will have as their objective the preparation of every Sailor for gender-integrated living at the operational level, whether afloat, battalion, or squadron. Berthing to house men and women will be in the same building, emulating a shipboard environment whenever possible. Gender privacy and dignity is paramount. All berthing must be secure and well supervised. Tobacco Activities shall maintain an environment that supports smoking abstinence, discourages use of any tobacco products, and is in support of the Navy Tobacco Cessation Program.Smoking may be restricted during certain phases of training. Civilian Clothes Commands will establish a civilian clothes standard that supports Navy Uniform Regulations and the highest standards of appearance. Sailors shall be trained on appropriate civilian attire. The policy for civilian attire should be consistent throughout the command (i.e., same for staff and students) and vigorously enforce d. Uniform All students will be routinely inspected when in uniform, both formally and informally with a critical eye for proper wear and fit. Particular attention should be given to the jumper, skirt, and trouser lengths, and the fit of all outer garments. The ability to wear the neckerchief and necktie correctly, as well as the overall appearance and grooming of the individual, shall also be evaluated. The objective of this policy is to ensure students demonstrate and know the proper wear, care, and maintenance of all uniforms. Alcoholic Beverages Except as specifically authorized by SECNAVINST 1700.11C, the purchase, possession, and consumption of alcoholic beverages within any installation or vessel under naval jurisdiction are prohibited. Possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages or alcoholic beverage containers in A school berthing/lounge areas are hereby specifically prohibited. All personnel who may legally consume alcoholic beverages shall not do so within s ix hours of training or standing duty and must ensure they are FIT FOR DUTY at all appropriate times. Individuals who are drunk or incapacitated for duty because of prior consumption of alcoholic beverages violate Article 134, UCMJ. Daily Routine The daily routine for student personnel is the basic tool to prepare students for the rigors of Navy life. To ensure Sailors are provided with sufficient time to complete all training requirements, supervisors must be completely familiar with the daily routine. The complete standard training workweek is extended because each daily evolution is a training event for new Sailors. NMT training requirements are designed to augment technical training requirements, neither extending time onboard nor superseding technical training requirements. Commands shall establish a daily routine that facilitates completion of all training requirements. Daily routines shall be published and enforced. Daily routines will include normal Navy routines includi ng reveille, quarters for muster, inspection, and instruction, scheduled inspections, watch training, sweepers, taps, etc. Watch Standing The Navy places vast trust and responsibility in the hands of new recruits. Warfighting teams cannot function without them. Student watches shall be maintained when possible. The goal is to emulate the shipboard environment, teaching principles of responsibility, authority, and teamwork. Sailors must devote time to learning the skills that will enable them to qualify as watch standers.All student personnel are eligible to be watch standers unless specifically excused by the Division Leading Chief Petty Officer. Student personnel, while in a duty status, shall not leave the base confines without authorization of the Staff Duty Officer. Relief watches shall eat early meals and proceed directly to their post to relieve the watch. Physical Training All training commands shall schedule and complete a minimum of three one-hour periods per week o f physical exercise. Students onboard greater than 20 weeks will have an official Physical Readiness Test conducted in accordance with OPNAVINST 6110.1. Inspections Inspections are an important, fundamental part of the Navy. They are not merely a traditional or ceremonial drill, but fulfill a vital function, as the means of evaluating the efficiency, morale, and quality of discipline in a military unit.
