You'll never get promoted just for working hard. You'll get promoted for mastering the art of becoming your own best advocate.

10 Habits that Can Help You Be Wildly Successful in a Corporate Job:

1️⃣ Make Your Boss Look Good in Front of Their Boss 👉 Their success creates a ripple effect for your success

2️⃣ Work Smart, not Hard 👉 Strategic efficiency > sheer effort

3️⃣ Master the Art of Self-Promotion 👉 It's not bragging if it's based on facts

4️⃣ Learn How to Quantify Your Impact 👉 Numbers & data make your success undeniable

5️⃣ Create Moments of Visibility & Recognition for Your Coworkers 👉 Recognizing others builds reciprocal goodwill

6️⃣ Facilitate Your Manager's Advocacy 👉 Make it as easy as possible for your manager to champion your cause

7️⃣ Enforce the 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle) 👉 Ruthlessly protect the 20% of activities that account for 80% of outcomes

8️⃣ Don't Let Other People's Urgency Become Your Emergency 👉 Strategic boundaries are key to sustained productivity

9️⃣ It's Better to Ask for Forgiveness Than to Ask for Permission 👉 Impact & decisiveness > delaying progress

🔟 Play the Game to Win 👉 Sometimes navigating the system skillfully is necessary to ultimately transcend it

Don't forget: You always have to be your own best advocate.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I’m NOT a fan of the 50-30-20 budgeting guideline. I think it’s doing us, especially young women, a disservice.
