.: Career Move! From Shelf Filler to Manager
Category:Home / Personal Development / Goal Setting
Are you in a dead end job? Are you fed up with low pay and long hours? Are you bored and want to do something more interesting? Do you want to be the person telling others what to do rather than being the one taking orders?
You can make it happen! if you are determined enough.
Consider the two alternatives, which one works for you?
Arrives late for work on a regular basis, usually chewing gum. Looks untidy, hair unkempt, nail varnish peeling and skirt very short. Only smiles and laughs loudly with her mates. Speaks to customers as little as possible. When asked if there is a top in another size. Answers “I don’t know” or “if it isn’t there we haven’t got any”
Shows no interest on what needs to be done. Makes excuses to skive off when ever possible.
Does just enough to get by. Never takes the initiative. Walks past difficulties, doesn’t see them or want to see them. A jar has broken leaving glass and jam all over the floor.
Is uncooperative or moody and sometimes both. Constantly complains that things aren’t right, its not fair, out of order!
Boss sees no potential so takes little interest in her development. Job remains dead end, she gives little and gets no job satisfaction in return. Can’t wait to leave.
What lies ahead…..another dead end job
Arrives on time, looking neat and tidy, ready for the days work. Knows the company policies about dress code and behaviour and follows them. Is always polite, friendly and professional.
Makes customers feel valued, is helpful and tries to sort out any problems. “I’ll show you where they are” “ They are out of stock but I can order one for you”, I’ll go and find out if we have any”
Is interested in how things operate. Asks relevant questions. Takes on her fair share of the work, offers to help others when it is appropriate. Takes a pride in doing things well.
Anticipates things, takes appropriate action. Thinks abut health and safety so blocks off the area and clears it up or reports it to the appropriate person.
Comes across as pleasant and professional even when having personal problems. If there is a problem, she goes to the right person, explains the difficulty and offers a suggestion about how the problem might be solved.
Goes to see the manager, expresses an interest in developing a career in the company. Asks for the opportunity for training. Takes each opportunity and makes the most of it.
Manager sees the potential invites her to join the trainee manager scheme.
Undertakes on the job training and rises through the ranks.
Manages her own store.
What do you want out of life?
Opportunities are what you make them. You have to take responsibility for your present and your future. Think about how you behave and how others see you.
If you don’t like your present job think about what you really want out of life. The choice is yours!

3). So You Want To Win the Lottery
If we all got everything we wanted, most of us would have won the lottery by now. So what happens when we notice that we aren't getting what we want, even when we've been using Law of Attraction to manifest a particular desire for an extended period of time?

5). The root cause for procrastination.
Although there are many apparent causes for procrastination, the root cause for this illogical behaviour resides in your unconscious mind. Your conscious mind is very limited in its ability to deal with life. That over which you have conscious control is mostly limited to one thing at a time. This is why using your willpower to create any real change rarely works long term.
6). Travel Phobia and Fear Of Driving
Travel phobia is a particular form of anxiety that may occur after a person has been involved in some kind of accident, maybe a road or rail crash. They may have escaped physically unscathed from the incident, however they might well have perceived it as a potential threat to their well being, physical health or indeed life.
Anyone suffering from travel phobia is likely to avoid travelling as much as is possible.
7). How Do I Manifest My Desires
AutoResponder: how-do-i-manifest@i3i.info
If you are asking the question how do I manifest, then read this. Learning to manifest your desires is similar to learning
to swim.
So how is swimming similar to manifesting?
Both manifesting and swimming requires total trust, i.e. letting go. In the case of manifesting, you need to let go
of your need to control the outcome and trust that you shall receive that which you seek.
