SuqAlMal Career Advice -- Manage Your Personal Career Like Big Successful Corporations

 

AA Started Learning from Others on His
First Day as an Analyst at MegaBucks Firm

Did you ever wonder how I got this prestigious position at SuqAlMal coupled with a fast paced highly remunerative career in finance?

Besides my innate abilities and willingness to put in the hours, I wasn’t too proud to learn from the successes of others as the above archival picture demonstrates.

And apply what I found to my own career.

It is a uncommon occasion indeed when I share some of those career lessons.

Consider yourself lucky. Today is definitely one of those rare days.

As we all know, or think we do, major corporations have discovered secrets to success.

Sometimes a putative business leader “genius” will put his wisdom down in one of the many tomes you’ll find in the business books celebrity section at your local bookstore.

Sometimes an academic will distill these lessons into a path to excellence.

But what if this does not happen for whatever reason?

If we look closely at companies we can discover these “success” principles and strategies on our own. We can tease them out of their actions.

More than that, we are likely to find those principles and strategies that they are trying to keep for themselves!

Once we have a hold of them, we can apply them to our own careers.

Here are two sure-fire ways to increase your bonus this year:

1. Claim a 2021 bonus based on potential highly lucrative business you will obtain in the future from existing or potential future clients that are currently unknown. (This tactic is known among the cognoscenti as the “Blueridge” or “Liberty Primary” gambits).
2. Add credibility to that claim by committing that by 2050 you will have reduced your incidence of “lost” pitches to zero. (The Pitch Climate Improvement Plan).

With these two simple tactics, you’ll be on the way not only to a larger bonus in your firm, but also it's highly likely you’ll be identified as someone with leadership potential.
