成功每个人都想要,可是怎样才能成功呢?我们来看看那些在职场上取得成功的人们给了我们什么建议吧!

A shaky economy has everyone watching their bottom lines. It's no different at work. Persistence1 helps make you a top performer. Tips from work-a-day winners are outlined below.

Stop Worrying 别再担心

Wes Moss2 wrote "Make More, Worry Less" to tell the stories of people achieving extraordinary success by bringing an entrepreneur's mindset to their run-of-the-mill jobs.

One thing they do, Moss says, is work without fear of failure.

One worry-crushing technique? "Ask yourself what the worst-case scenario3 is," Moss told IBD. "Once you accept that, you can move forward and focus on the task at hand."

Keep Track 记录成长

Moss calls himself a "corporate4 entrepreneur" because he works full-time5 as a certified6 financial planner at UBS Financial Services while writing business books and hosting a financial radio show on the side.

Moss makes a habit of writing down his successes in a "value log." It helps him frame his accomplishments8 so he can announce them at work. "If you're great at something, it doesn't matter if no one knows about it," he said. It also helps him track his strengths so he knows where to dedicate his energies.

Close the Door 破釜沉舟

Ralph Olson was a financial analyst9 at Pepsi-Cola when a project no one wanted was tossed his way: create an affordable10 plastic soft drink container consumers would love.

Olson grabbed the corporate hot potato and mentally closed the door on failure. "My thinking was, 'I want it because I think I can make it work,'" he said in Moss' book.

With no turning back, Olson drove the project forward. The now-ubiquitous two-liter plastic bottle led to Olson's promotion11 to vice7 president -- the youngest in company history at age 32.

Never Say No 永远不要说“不”

Buddy12 Newell told Moss he always loved fine timepieces. To excel at selling them, Newell decided13 he'd always deliver exactly what his wealthy customers wanted.

What they wanted were diamonds. But his employer, PK Time, balked14 at adding rocks to their watches. So Newell talked the designer into making just one.

Newell sold the diamond-encrusted watch in 10 minutes.

The company developed a jewel-heavy "Buddy" line in his honor, and Newell ticked ahead to vice president of sales.

Perfect Your Image 建立完美的形象

Ed Cortese decided to operate his career like his own little company, he told Moss.

To project a confident product -- himself -- Cortese dressed flawlessly and used his posture15 and demeanor16 to communicate a calm expertise17. That approach helped him land his dream job as marketing18 director for luxury magazine Robb Report.

Just Work Harder 努力再努力

Linda Raab was living paycheck to paycheck as a beverage19 manager at a Steak 'n Shake restaurant when a customer suggested selling Aflac insurance. Raab lacked contacts because she was new to the area, so she decided to knock on more doors than anybody else -- even selling a policy in a gas station parking lot.

Moss says that's how Raab went from having $456 in the bank to earning a six-figure income.
