Luck is not a strategy

Luck is not a strategy; strategy is a strategy.

Never outsource the review of your work

Thoroughly reviewing your own work before asking a second person to do another check will improve your work skills tremendously.

Be clear on appearances vs. reality

Try differentiating things that you do for appearance’s sakes vs. reality while maintaining a sense of transparency in the workplace.

A little context goes a long way

When you communicate something to colleagues, professionals, or clients always provide some context.

Make lists: a bad list is much better than no list

An organized professional makes for a happier client, so try keeping to-do lists.

Adhere to deadlines. If you can’t, let stakeholders know

You will be highly valued by clients if you adhere to deadlines, or communicate clearly and openly if you can’t meet them for various reasons.

You’re always judged in relation to your cost

The amount of money a professional charges is proportionate to the client’s expectations of quality work.

Remember that clients and managers aren’t mind readers

People are not mind readers, so clear communication is essential for a fruitful professional collaboration.

Give everything a personal touch, unique for the other person

Giving any content a personal touch will make you stand out in a sea of applicants, colleagues, freelancers etc.

Don’t bill every second if you have a high hourly

Try to find a balance between undercharging and overcharging your clients.

The Open Secret that we exposed, to quote one our friends:

“The open secret of professional work is that...
results are not the main factor in determining
how happy your clients are with your work.”

The open secret of professional work is that results are not the main factor in determining how happy your clients are with your work.

What is? Your boss or client loving your communication, processes, details, responsiveness, and much more “meta work” matters just as much as the work itself.

But no one explicitly teaches these to you. Until now.
