SUPPLEMENTAL POst 1.a
In the business world, you’ll go through four stages of adding value
The only thing standing between you and outrageous success is continuous progress.

Stage 1
If you’re fulfilling your job requirements, you’re presumably adding some value. Maybe a little. Maybe a lot. But this value is defined by your employer, your job description, and your job grade.
Stage 2
You develop yourself into someone who exceeds their job description. You gain experience. You develop expertise. You expand your skills and interests. You’re no longer just filling out a job description. You are contributing in ways that are special.
Stage 3
Your unique skills and interests become known to others. They come to you for advice. You have become influential.
Stage 4
You become so well known for your unique skills and interests that you’re now the go-to expert. Nobody would dream of taking a significant step without asking your opinion first. You have become essential.
Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goals: my strength lies solely in my tenacity.
