Seven Career Lessons Learned the Hard Way

Today’s job market is fiercely competitive. With the advent of new technologies and growing global competition, companies need to be nimble—and ready to fearlessly embrace change. Everyone from college grads entering the market for the first time to seasoned executives must have a laser-like focus on their careers. I’ve experienced my share of bumps, obstacles, twists, and turns on the path to what I consider a successful career. They may have occasionally slowed me down, but they never stopped me.

These seven bits of advice can spare you some of that. I can vouch for them because I learned them the hard way—through personal experience.

Focus on performance

The best way to move into a bigger job is to perform well in the one you are doing. Many young people are so accustomed to “instant gratification” that they are plotting a move to the next job before they’ve proven themselves in the one they’re in. In most companies, there are about seven levels from top to bottom—but don’t expect to move up a level every year. Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg wisely said that people need to see the corporate world as a jungle gym, not a ladder. Lateral moves can help you develop broader functional responsibility and or experience in different geographies. Climbing around is sometimes better than climbing up.

Act into your next job

Quietly augmenting your responsibilities in such a way that they naturally overlap with those of somebody higher than you on the org chart is a good way to prepare for your next move. For example, you may be tasked with solving a business challenge for your department or division—streamlining a process, for example, or developing a new one altogether—only to realize it might benefit other areas of the company. By working with your boss to implement it, you’ve essentially taken on a role outside your job description without making an obvious play for it. Your initiative—and new skill—will be taken into account when you’re being considered for a promotion.

Take calculated risks

I can’t overemphasize the need to take risks. If you find yourself with the opportunity to manage a project that could be transformative, do it, even if you’re worried you won’t succeed. The feeling of being “out over your skis” can be frightening, but everybody who succeeds in business has felt it as some point, and it’s worth embracing. Those who get past it keep moving up; those who don’t remain frozen in place.

Demonstrate knowledge

Being knowledgeable is not the same as demonstrating knowledge. If your boss or your colleagues aren't aware that you have certain talents and abilities, you may find yourself sidelined as somebody else gets the opportunity to put them into play and shine. You don’t want to be abrasive about broadcasting your knowledge, but you shouldn't be a wallflower. Actively look for opportunities to showcase your knowledge and skills.

Be the solution, not the problem

Should a problem related to your job arise, don’t be defensive, and make sure you’re part of the solution. If something you are doing is not working, follow your instincts, acknowledge it, and act quickly to make it right. Waiting will only make it worse. Whether it’s an issue with an employee, a system, a product, whatever—take corrective action, don’t let it fester. It will ultimately backfire and damage your reputation.

Learn from smarter people

Don’t be afraid to hire people who know more than you do. And once you’ve done so, get out of their way and allow them to do great things. If you have a type A personality, don’t allow that to drive your team crazy. Resist the urge to meddle if it is only going to marginally improve a project, as you risk discouraging the very people you’ve hired for their problem-solving prowess. Let them own their projects, and give them a voice in meetings, even if they disagree with you.

Be an Influencer

Finally, become an influencer. This can and should be done quietly, accomplished by actions and not words. Building a reputation as an advisor and problem solver is better than trying to build an empire. With a strong brand, your colleagues will begin to seek your advice, and your influence will grow—along with your potential for promotion. Be generous with sharing your ideas and with giving credit to others for theirs. And make sure what you’re doing is for the good of the company, not just yourself. Believe me, your colleagues can tell the difference.

A successful career is a difficult and time-consuming journey. My hope is that these principles will help you avoid a few bumps along the way.

Build quality: what is it? It's why your Pro Series laptop still works after it is accidently sat on and dropped, and also why that $299 Holiday Bundle dies 91 days after purchase.

When looking to purchase a desktop, laptop or tablet, there are typically two distinct classes of hardware: the Business Class, and the Consumer Class. Right off the bat you will notice several things about the Business class models; in this case laptops:

Metal Hinges and reinforcements - the screen opens and feels stiff, does not wobble, aluminum top and sides for extra protection
Tighter fit and finish, less flex on the case, and a reinforced/aluminum top cover to prevent accidental screen damage
Features like backlit keyboard, biometric reader & full 10-key keyboard
Typically these models have extended warranties and next day on-site service
You are running a "Pro" version of the Operating System, giving you business features not available to a Home version
There is no "trialware" that bombards you as soon as you power on

Other not so evident engineering enhancements and considerations for a Business model laptop includes:

Matte LCD coating, which prevents shine and reflection. Consumer models typically have very shiny screens, which look good in optimal lighting, but can be difficult to use in direct sunlight.
VGA ports: many Consumer grade laptops dropped the VGA option, so if you need to hook up quickly to a projector or monitor, it may be a challenge
Higher quality fans, more bearings in the fans allowing faster speeds, longer life & less noise
More than one fan - many entry level laptops have 1 cooling fan blowing out the bottom, or side. Block that one vent, and you will cause serious damage
Reinforced Standoffs on the mainboard- the reason your charging port gets loose and will not charge is there are only one or two pins holding it into the mainboard. Business class machines have four or more. After a few good tugs on the charger cable, a Consumer quality laptop will need a A/C jack repair.
Tear-Down time is very important to a technician and ultimately to your repair cost. Business class machines typically come apart in logical order with just a few screws, where Consumer grade laptops typically need to go to a depot to repair due to the complexity of reassembling it correctly.
Parts Availability is something that is rarely considered, but it would be nice if 2 years from now they had the mainboard available without a long wait. Consumer products typically have a one year parts availability before the model is retired, where Business models are typically three years, coinciding with your three year warranty

Consumer Class Desktops typically have low end processors, and non-upgradable RAM or limited options preventing you from installing add on cards. When purchasing a Business class machine, you are usually presented with many options to customize to your needs. You can add RAM at the build time to save money as well. Some other considerations to think about when selecting a desktop:

Business Class Desktops typically have dual monitor capability where consumer models will need a better video card
Consumer Desktops are physically lighter, using more aluminum and less steel and copper. Copper is used to dissipate heat, and aluminum is very ineffective at dissipating heat, but is much cheaper.
In many cases, the ultra-cheap desktops are actually low end laptop mainboards mounted in a large and mostly empty case. These desktops are nothing more than netbooks, and are not really designed to do anything but office work.
To keep costs down even more, companies allow trialware to be installed, like 60 day antivirus trials.

When it comes to tablets, there is a REAL distinct difference between a Consumer "no name" tablet, and a name brand tablet. Most notably:

Active vs Passive & Touch sensitivity on the screen- on low end models, your finger will be hurting by the end of a browsing session. Passive LCDs require pressure to detect a touch, where active detect heat and electric currents in your fingers.
Screen Glare & viewing angle- the cheaper the tablet, the more direct you need to look at it to see the colors correctly, and the less sun you can have before you see nothing but glare
Battery Life on lower priced tablets suffers greatly as a good Lithium Polymer battery is not cheap, so many cheaper tablets use NiMH which can store much less energy than lithium.
Some of the cheapest tablets do not use Google Play, essentially making them absolutely useless except as Internet tablets

When it comes time to purchase new technology, seriously consider the Return on Investment (ROI) you want from the item. If you are satisfied with a year of use from a new computer, many consumer level devices would be a decent choice.Most business would find having to switch PCs, change data, reinstall programs etc., yearly to stay current more trouble than its worth. In the long run, typically your costs to retire the old PC and set up the new PC would exceed the extra you would have spent on the Business Class three year warranty machine.

My rule of thumb is to buy slightly bigger than you need at the current moment, allowing for growth. Having to re-buy larger PCs, or bigger server down the road will cost exponentially more than doing it up front. Technology is an investment in your company, don't go cheap-o!

Why I Chose to be an Entrepreneur vs. Being a Fortune 500 Executive

In my past, I’ve worked at 3 other companies, all Fortune 500. I’m now the President ofGravity4, and I’ve begun my journey as an entrepreneur. There are many notable changes between the two worlds, but as Darwin mentioned, it’s all about adapting to change.

Fear is your worst enemy.

Risk is your reward.

Insomnia will become your best friend.

Here are 5 ways entrepreneurship differs from the corporate world.

“We’ve entered a major inflection point of our time, in which it becomes harder for companies to survive if they do not innovate fast enough.” Innovate or Die.

Meetings on Meetings About Meetings.

Meetings. It’s one word that comes up every 10 minutes in the corporate world, as if it’s on a rotational schedule. But, is it something worth taking time out of the day for? Most of the meetings are meetings to schedule meetings about other meetings.

How many times are your meetings about something that's of substance? Or, even that involves handing in deliverables? Meetings are supposed to analyze, but how do you analyze when nothing is being delivered?

Analysis/Paralysis

At Gravity4, we have one phrase we engrain in every entrepreneur who joins our team.

“Don’t ask for permission, ask for forgiveness.”

If you need to make a decision because your gut tells you so, then do it. If you need to purchase something because it’s going to better the team and their ability to work, then do it.

Make decisions by instinct versus research. You must realize that your gut can never steer you in the wrong way; only numbers can.

There’s no need to waste time creating presentations, writing plans, or building pipelines to present. Just do it. And, let your actions speak louder than your words. No one is going to read your long emails, or stay focused through your presentations. But, they will hold you accountable for what you must deliver.

Face the Customer

If you are a C-level executive, or a board member of the company, have fewer meetings, and get in the front of the customer! The customer’s opinion will determine the amount of business you will receive. And, if you are behind a computer looking at reports and crunching numbers, you’ll forget the creativity and imagination behind entrepreneurship.

Give Credit where it’s Due

In the corporate world, everyone is looking to take credit for actions done by others. Let others shine, and don’t dampen their spirits. That’s the quickest way to lose your rock stars.

If you see someone going above and beyond his or her normal scope of work, recognize it. In the start-up world, there is no job title or job description; everyone is an entrepreneur.

Creativity

There’s no manual written on how to do something in startups. Find your own way. If one way doesn’t work, then figure out another.

Stray away from the traditional means of things, and create something new. That’s why you’re an entrepreneur, right?

Successful people approach their personal and professional life in a way that varies from most of us. By integrating even just one or two of these things into your life, you would without a doubt see improvement.

1. They Have Have Goals

Everyone set some goals, but successful people have extremely specific goals for the short term or long term. It is hard to reach any of your dreams if you don’t set out a path to make it possible.

2. They are Committed to Achieving The Goals

Everyday gives us a new chance to get a little bit closer to our goals. This means putting in the work on a consistent basis that allows for gradual, yet constant, growth.

3. Unshakable Confidence in Themselves

Believing your capacity to achieve is the only way you can begin making progress in life. When we get down on ourselves we are only limiting ourselves, so in a way negativity becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Only you can determine how much or how little you achieve.

4. When They Fall, They Don’t Fall Hard

Successful people view every mistake as a learning experience to sharpen their skills. Everyone inevitably experiences setbacks, but how they take the falls are the defining moments that separates the winners from the losers in the long run.

5. They Act Decisively

When you know what you want, it all of a sudden becomes a lot easier to set out about choosing everything from where to eat to where you want to work for. All of this has to do about managing time, health and all small aspects of life that help us slowly crawl towards the top.

6. They Focus on Gradually Getting Better

Setting your goals too high inevitably means you’re going to fall short. Instead of focusing on the peak of the mountain, focus on how you are going to get past the valleys and hills that are in between you and just the base of the mountain.

7. They Know How to Say No

Setting priorities means that sometimes you are just going to have to say no to requests. All of us naturally have this tendency to want to be a people pleaser, but ultimately that can make you more of a door mat if you aren’t careful.

8. They Stay Productive, Not Busy

Managing time is a big deal. Time that is spent doing mindless busy work or activities that don’t get you closer to your goals is ultimately time wasted. Separate what is actually “productive time” versus “busy time” to figure out which you want to keep in your life.

9. Preform Tasks Based on Energy Levels, Not a Time Clock

Getting in tune with your time clock is key to achieving success. We all of a natural rhythm through out the day between lulls and peak energy. Make sure that you match activities and work to the type of energy you have at the moment to get the most bang for your buck out of the day.

10. They Maintain their Health and Well-Being

When you are healthy and happy it is a lot easier to be productive. Sleep plenty, eat healthily, exercise regularly and de-stress to ensure that you are living up to your true potential.

11. Take Regular Breaks and Vacations

Burn out is such a huge problem in a day in age when we can work practically around the clock thanks to the joys of the internet! Take the time to unplug and relax regularly, so that you can come back refreshed to the work scene.

Design Manager in SharePoint 2013 is a great new Feature which Can be very useful for SharePoint Designers.With Design Manager, you can now Create a SharePoint Master Page out of a simple Html Page Template that can reuse from an existing public site or download from Internet.
Lets look at an example of How to Convert an Html Template into a SharePoint Master Page using the new Design Manager and Snippet gallery.IF you want to edit an existing Master Page head over to How to edit an existing Master Page to Change Logo, Hide Top Suite Links etc in SharePoint 2013

Because We’re So Good, Our Content gets Copied very Often.If you are not reading this on LearningSharePoint.com , please read the Original article Herefor details, comments and updates on this post.

Before we begin, make sure you have your HTML template ready. A good option is to download one from Internet – In our case we downloaded an HTML template from Templatebox.com , a website that provides free HTML templates along with Images.

Once you have your templates and Images upload the entire folder in your MasterPage Gallery.Easiest way to do this is to Map your Master Page gallery as a Network drive and then Copy the folder in it.

Here is the Master Page that we will use.

We Created a new Folder “New HTML Master Page” and Copied the above HTML Template and an Images folder (with Images in it) in Master Page gallery. This is how our Master Page Gallery looks like –

So now we have our Template in Master Page gallery.Lets Convert it to a SharePoint Master Page.

Steps –

1. Navigate to Design Manager (Settings -> Look and Feel -> Design Manager)

2. In Design Manager select “4. Edit Master Pages” on the left.

3. Next Select “Convert an HTML file to a SharePoint master page”

4. Select the new Uploaded Master Page from Master Page Gallery.

5. Once uploaded verify the status as “Conversion Successful”.

6. Next Click on Master Page itself to open the Master Page Preview window.Your Preview should look like below –

Notice the “Snippet” at the Top.This will take you to the new Snippet Gallery where you can select a SharePoint Components such as Navigation, Search box,webparts etc. and Copy it’s Code Snippet to be added to your Master Page.
For now lets just publish the new Master Page and then in next post we will learn how to edit it to embed various SharePoint Controls in it.

7. Navigate back to the Edit Master Page in Design Manager and Select the call-up menu of the new Master Page. Publish it as a Major version and verify that the Status is “Approved”.

Publish as Major Version Master Page SharePoint 2013

Even though we have Published this HTML Template Page and its not available as one the SharePoint Master Pages, it is not yet ready to be used as a site Master Page. You need to Open the HTMl of this Master Page in a Notepad\Visual Studio\Designer and edit it to remove some of the unwanted text and Images so that the “Place Holder Main” (name=”ContentPlaceHolderMain”) is aligned in Middle (Every Page in SharePoint has a Master Page and a Content area).

To make our Master Page look nicer, I downloaded the copy of this Master Page and edited it in the notepad.I Removed the Service Overview, development and other Images (in the middle) and verified that only

is aligned in the center. Finally, uploaded and published it back to Master Page gallery.

8. Once you are done modifying HTML, Set this Master Page as default for your site.Go to “Publish and Apply Design” in Design Manager and Select “Assign master pages to your site based on device channel”.Next select your new Master Page as a default Site Master Page.

Below is the final look of our HTMl Template Converted to SharePoint Master Page.

This is not the end of it, the master page needs its search, Navigation and other SharePoint Components to be ready for use.You can add these using Snippet Gallery.See more Design Manager Tutorials to know about Snippet Gallery and how to add SharePoint Components in Master and Layout Pages.
