The Secrets to Job Success or How to One Up Your Boss! is a book that teaches you techniques and strategies to earn more money in your working career, to reduce the likelihood you will be laid off and to maximize your severance package should you be laid off. Our work careers are finite. Most of us will work for 35 to 40 years. Then we live off social security and what we have saved and invested. If you earn just $10,000 per year more, over an average working career, you will have an additional $2 million when you retire (assuming you save and invest that money). That will make a huge difference in your lifestyle. Most employees do not do a good job of managing their careers because they simply do not know how. So, over their lifetime, they earn less money. But regardless of the industry or the position, some people are earning more than others. Why shouldn't you be one of those earning more than the rest? Follow the strategies and techniques in this book and you will put a lot more money in your pocket during your working career and have a lot more money for retirement.
