Being a Rainmaker Part I

The term rainmaker in business means an achiever of outstanding results in a profession.

Do you want to excel in your career! Then be a rainmaker. Some people think that means bringing in new business. But, that is not the only thing it. It also means doing an exceptional job.

Be the person that does the exceptional job. Come in a ½ hour early leave a ½ hour late. Don’t take long lunches. When you work, work. Don’t let people steal your time. If someone comes to hang out in your office to gab, tell them you have a project to do and have to stay focused. Tell them you can talk after work. Staying focused on your job while you are at your office will give you a leg up on all your coworkers. Most people waste a lot of time at their job and their actual productive time is quite low.

Don’t be that person.
