Ask your boss - discussion with coaching client yesterday

I have a target to earn £90k by 2010. What do I need to do to get that?

That is a great question to ask your boss at an informal meeting.

There are three reasons for this
1 - If you are serious it will get you thinking about the action you need to take.
2 - It will get your boss thinking about it
3 - It will mean that you and your boss will have to take action, if you are serious.

A few tips for fast tracking this.

1 - Dress like you are already earning it
2 - Act like you are already earning it.
3 - Imagine you are at 2010 and you have just received the letter confirming the new salary. What do you look like as you receive it? how do you feel? how do you sound as you talk to yourself and others? Hold that feeling and now - think back to 2008, what action did you take to start the process. Now write the actions down on a piece of paper and do the first thing you need to do. Just do it - action unlocks potential.

You can do this same process with anything you want to be successful at - it doesn't have to be around money.
