Every day I'm hustling, hustling, hustling.......Finally, I am doing jobs that I love and when I'm in a happy workplace nothing more rewarding for you and your company by going the extra mile and getting ahead at work.
When you love your job, you are more than willing to jump out of bed with a spring in your step. You go into work your happy, not just within your role but your colleagues too, god knows some can be a pain, but that's ok, today is a new day and a day that you don't mind seeing that sourpuss, your happy to be at work, your positive and you want to get ahead because secretly you love and are happy with you and your role.
Everyone wants to be rewarded and promoted, but it won't just happen overnight, you gotta put the work in. You see yourself wanting to grow and learn within the company you work at, you gotta put the work in love to get noticed and be rewarded. With these practices, you will sure to be promoted in no time.
Know your role, knowledge is key
Once you've grasped an understanding of your role and what you are meant to do, get to know other roles and other departments. Nothing quite like, being able to support or driving revenue to another department.
Share your knowledge and support
We all need help and support and those that you work with need it too. As cliche as it may sound there is no I in team, so share that knowledge whatever it may be, to being kick-arse at a spreadsheet or a whizz kid at coding and if you see someone that needs help, offer some support they will appreciate that support and others may notice and come to you for additional direction.
Get involved
Nothing says I'm here and ready to get involved by actively doing so, by attending work functions, to possible courses they may offer to help you get ahead at work, even if it may not be your division, nothing quite shows gumption than by taking the initiative to grow and learn within the company, besides no one takes a job to be in it for a short period, nothing quite like learning new skills.
Ready, steady, BAKE
Admit it, don't lie now, we all love a cheeky treat with a cuppa! Anyone who says they don't they are LYING, EVERYONE loves a cheeky mid-afternoon treat. So why not occasionally treat your colleagues to something scrumptious. Luckily I made 2 of my bitchin banana bread took them in to work and the greedy sods wolfed it down happily with a cuppa in hand and all departments came together for 20 mins and we had a cheeky chat, which is great not only you get to have a quick catch up and a sweet treat, you get to know others too in different departments, nothing like a treat to bring you all together and a little in-house networking.
Stay ahead
Sort out your checklist, nothing quite like being organised for work and staying on top of things to be able to get ahead, as you never know what could happen, things change all the time. You may find yourself being cancelled on by a client at the last moment, nothing wrong with having a backup plan, schmooze another new potential client, take them out for lunch, drop them an email, to even touching base with their EA.
Be true, be you!
No one wants to work with a phoney, you can spot a deceitful person a mile off, no one wants to work or promote someone who doesn't have the best intentions for the company or true to themselves. People remember those that are true, kind, honest and respectful and so quite simply just be you.

This year I'm being a bit selfish, but selfish to myself, nothing I enjoy more than changing someone's day, the happy way. Yes, it may be Valentines Day, the day of love, but lets put love on hold for a second and think about making someone happy, not necessarily by buying something for someone that will last for a short period, but a random act of kindness goes a long way.
Am I people pleaser, is it ok to be a people pleaser, yes sometimes it is and nothing wrong with it I rather do one thing to make someone happy, no matter how small or large the gesture, it doesn't have to be for a significant other, or member of family or friend, it could be a total stranger.
Smile
The most infectious act of kindness. The other day I woke up in a bad mood, nothing happened, I was just in bad mood, probably hormones or something, but instead of me wallowing in this anger, I decided to flip the script, after all, we want to have a good positive day right!?! The moment I stepped outside of the house, the first person I saw I smiled art, not like a weirdo smile, but a genuine one and that person smiled right back, wished me good morning and I and you too will have an instant uplift in mood.
Talk to someone
Take a moment out and talk to someone, be it a friend you have not spoken to in a while, to stranger or homeless person, just talking to someone can really brighten up a persons day.
See the grandparents
Nothing makes my grandad and me happier than a little chit-chat, be it about the news, the western that he is currently watching, or our favourite topic, Celebs Go Dating! Now that he is retired he spends his days at home cooking for the masses and cleaning the house. Throughout the day, whilst he may be doing chores, or looking over the paper getting ready to put a bet on a horse, he is on his own, like most grandparents who are throughout the day, so take some time out for them, and give them a call or go and see them I know where I will be later, I just hope he's cooked my favourite soup!
Buy someone a coffee
A random act of kindness, can one really surprise someone but makes them also happy, it is all about making someone's day with just a selfless random act.
Pay someone a compliment
Nothing makes someone's day more than a nice compliment, be it about there cooking, what they are wearing. Try giving the first three people you see a compliment, it would totally make there day.
Bake
Why not whip up a nice tasty treat for your neighbours, such as my bitchin banana bread, it won't just make them happy, but you happy too, plus your house will smell super comforting.

A
new day a new month, leads to more and new exciting adventures and more
responsibility, but if like me and any normal person with so much going on,
from managing your home life to carting the kids from school to activity to visiting
the dentist, meeting friends and prepping for holidays away, life can get a
bit much and with so much going on you can forget what needs to be done, but
with a little forward planning and a little patience I am going to help you,
myself too with 4 Ways To Get Shi*T Done This Month! Now, lets smash the hell
of this month, but before we do, let's see what we can do to help us get sh*t
done this month.
Stop
procrastinating
We
are all guilty of it, always thinking it can be done later and put off for
another day, then another. But to be able to get sh*t done this month, you are
going to have to change A) your outlook B) your mindset in order to get
organised. So clear your head, stop avoiding what needs to be done and face it
head on, also by changing your mindset will help, so by simply changing your
beliefs and finding a method that works for you, stick to it, that way you are
able to manage your expectations.
Set
a goal
You
know what needs to be done 95% of the time! So why not set yourself manageable
goals! Write a list. Once you have compiled this month's goals, list it all in
importance then work your way from there. Do not get me wrong, life can throw you a curve ball with
unexpected events, be a chameleon, adapt to your surroundings and you will
surely be able to tick off all those goals.
Get
visual
Nothing
better than being able to see what needs to be done, get a wall chart, get
colour coded (I'm a weirdo, I know, I have this!) But being able to see what
needs to be done in a place you spend/pass most often (kitchen) lets you know
what you have to do this month in order to get sh*t done.
Shut
off from social media
Instagram,
Twitter, Facebook, Daily Mail and Pinterest too, the list can go on and on. We
all have are guilty pleasures which have us perusing for hours on end. You may
have the best intention just for a quick 5-minute look, but is it ever REALLY a
5-minute check, nope! My 5 minutes can turn literally into hours, so step away
from the phone ladies and gents I promise it will be there in a few hours (I
think) and keep it moving.
If
you can put into practice these 4 steps each month I promise, these habits will
essentially become that, habits. Leading you to then end result that you set
out to achieve and want.
How
do you get your sh*t done? I would love to hear your comments below!
