In my experience going above and beyond the scope of responsibility of your position always ensures success if done so with a servant and willing heart. It is so refreshing to witness someone exceeding expectations in a culture of entitlement in which we find ourselves. There are so many ways to go above and beyond. To me, it begins with the desire to put others before yourself. This kindness can be shown in customer service, sales, serving meals, cleaning tables to directing your team. Selflessness is ALWAYS rewardable!

Be on time every time. Always ask if there’s any more responsibility available for you to take on. Tell them to keep you in mind for any promotions.

Absolutely! To me, it is very important to go above and beyond. Greet, engage, and thank every customer. Treat them like you would want to be treated when checking out in a store. There are so many self checkouts now that being personal is going away. I thrive on being personal, friendly, a good listener, positive, and happy. What a difference that makes.

You can’t wait for people to tell you what to do. You have to be proactive instead of reactive. There is always work to be done, so tackle it head on so that you can move forward to bigger and better projects.

Nowadays people are looking for a one stop shop that stays updated. Laws are always changing, people are always changing, technology is changing. If you stay where you are most comfortable you will be left behind.

Your sphere is so important! Connecting with people outside of work is big to creating lasting relationships. There’s so much to learn from people, and you never know, you helping out a friend (genuinely) in need will never forget, and might be there to help when you least expect it.

It is very important these days to be on time, even a little early. Come to work when you are scheduled. Be a great worker when you ARE at work. I see so many people that don't show up for work and it causes heavier loads for those that do come to work. Be a leader to those who are looking for someone to look up to. Encourage those that struggle to want to be lazy or procrastinate. Lead by example. Always. Even if no one else wants to follow.

I consistently follow the advise of my father:" if you are early you are on time, if you are on time you are late, and if you are late you are fired. " showing up early to get your day set up for success not only shows you care about your job but shows your team can always rely on you.

You attract bees with honey not vinegar. Even outside the workplace I try to be someone that people want to be around. A positive mental attitude can not only keep morale high, but also can reduce stress and increase your productivity which can help you earn bonuses or pay increases.

Do everything you are told to do exactly as leadership asks you with excellence. Provide more value to your employer by become a more useful person outside of your work hours. Your life will look much different in 6 months if you utilize your free time in a way that is productive. Ask yourself: Are you as educated as you are intelligent? Are you able to articulate your thoughts through writing and verbal communication effectively? Can you navigate Excel spreadsheets without worry? In a time where it is essentially costless to become a smarter person, there is no excuse to not advance your skills. Too busy to dedicate an hour a day to learning? No matter. 15 minutes will do for now. May you go forward and level up.

As in any position one may have, always keep a positive attitude and bring maximum effort every single day! Learn everything you can about your position and strive towards excellence. Always remember to hold yourself accountable, help your teammates, yes, even when others aren’t looking, and live as a servant of others. It will inspire others and create a special bond with teammates and clients alike. Never be afraid of falling! Own your mistakes, and be mindful that it’s a learning moment that will help in your success! Do these things and one day you can expect a tap on the shoulder for advancement. Why? Because you’re already a leader! Easy as it may seem, it starts with a POSITIVE ATTITUDE always bringing MAXIMUM EFFORT!
