What do you know about I.Q.? I.Q. stands for Intelligence Quotient, and it’s basically your brain’s abilities. Mankind created a lot of theories regarding intelligence, unitary and multiple. The unitary theory of intelligence limited intelligence to the linguistic and mathematical ability of the person. The theory of multiple intelligence, additional to linguistic and mathematical abilities, also counts visual, musical, and physical personal potentials.
There is even a formula of I. Q.: so-called intellectual age (IA) divided by real age (RA) (IQ=IA/RA x 100%)
Let’s talk about the ways by which a person can improve his brain’s potential. There are three common ways to make your brain work better.
First of all research yourself, your possibility, and your brain. If, let’s say, mathematics is not your favorite subject and you like art and music, don’t panic. You are still considered a smart and intelligent person; your art and music are stylish. If you don’t remember what a story is about but can easily memorize pictures and can even draw them, then you are a visually smart person. How about sports? Are you an athletic person? If yes, then you are body smart. How do you communicate with people? Good. Then you are interpersonal smart.
Everybody has one or more of the types of intelligence. So what you need to do is just to find your type or types of intelligence. Define yourself as a writer, write something ( a story or poem). Maybe you are good with numbers. Try to draw a picture, sing, or play piano. Take some dancing or gymnastic classes. Try to do some craft. Join some clubs where you can meet some interesting people and have a good tie with them. Try achieving your goals by working on yourself. Remember: No man knows what he can do till he tries.”
Secondly, work on yourself and your memory. I am sure that there are a lot of people out there that have talent in a variety of intelligence that we defined before, maybe even all seven. Can we say that they are geniuses? By the way, what is the definition of a genius? Are you a genius? I read somewhere that a genius is a person with phenomenally excellent mental or physical abilities. Einstein, Mozart, and Bach are considered as geniuses, but they don’t have all defined seven types of intelligence. In reality you don’t need to have all types of intelligence to be successful in life. Just continue working on yourself, improve your abilities. Use your potentials to make your and other’s lives better. With your strength of will, you can express your potentials towards greatness. Balzac said: “There is no such thing as a great talent without a great will power.”
Next, constantly clarify your brain. Extend your possibility. Exercise your memory. Study, not just to know. Exercising your brain is different from learning. Exercising is obtaining knowledge throughout the senses- touch, taste, see, smell, and taste. Learning is the formalization of studies through the educational institutions. Exercising is related and internalizing all the information obtained through studies, education, and experience. There are two types of abilities, natural or accumulated. New knowledge can be studied – public speaking, entrepreneur skills, dancing. This is all up to you, just learn and practice.
This sounds like an uneasy position; you must try really hard to be able to survive and to succeed. Victory doesn’t relate to your level of I. Q. because I.Q. tests are not accurate and don’t display your real potential. Any person can maximize his or her brain potentials as long as he or she will work hard and put all the effort that is needed.

If you are an ambitious person then those rules will be very valuable to you. They are useful to any level of career. As we go through all of these rules try to find the ways that you can use them in your career.
1. Specialize in a very narrow area; develop your own methods of work in this area.
Specialization is one of the greatest and universal rules of life. The small business that cannot find the niche in the market is doomed to death. The individual, who is not the expert in his business, is doomed to be the slave that is living on the salary.
High life standards are possible just because of better specialization.
2. Find a special niche, in which you will work with pleasure, exceed others, and wait for a chance to become the recognized leader in this area.
Specialization demands a very cautious system. If your niche is very narrow then you have chosen it very carefully. Specialize in an area that is interesting to you and pleasant for you to work in. Today it is possible to turn almost any hobby, interest, or knowledge into a business.
3. Remember, the force is in the knowledge.
The knowledge is the main thing when you are trying to build a career. You must know more in your area of business more than anybody else. Then you will be able to turn your knowledge into money, build demand for this knowledge, and have clients. It’s not enough to know a lot about something, though. You must know much more about this something than anybody else. Don’t stop in learning and expanding your knowledge until you know more than any other person in your niche.
4. Define the market and potential clients and offer them the best service.
Your market is those people who can pay for your knowledge. Your main clients or the client should become people or firms that are better then others that can appreciate your labor and can provide you with a lot of well paid work. It doesn’t mater whether it’s a hired worker, a private businessman, a big or small employer, or even the president of the country; you still must have clients who depend their business on you, no mater what level you started.
5. Define, where 20% of effort will give you 80% of profit.
In every area of business, 80% of people achieve only 20% of success and 20% of people receive 80% of profit. What does the majority do wrong and minority do properly? Can you take what they do and do it better? On what corporations in your area of business make offensively great profits? Who from your colleagues receive the highest reward and at the same time never work hard and have plenty of time for fun? How do they do that? Think, think, and think. The answer is somewhere close, you only should find it.
6. Learn from the best experts.
In any area of business, the most successful people would never think or act as ordinary people do. Those people never talk about their secrets of success. But we can learn about their secrets just by watching them. Find any chance to spend time with them. Try to find out all about their secrets of success. If you cannot do the same as they do or something different from stereotypes of your work then you never succeed.
7. Start work for yourself from the beginning of your career.
In your schedule, prefer to work on tasks that are at least five times more important than others. In an ideal situation, to which you must aspire already in the beginning of your career, you must benefit from results of all your work. If your job in corporation or business gives you the knowledge that you need, than benefits from this training can compensate your low salary. This works for experts too, if they are going to work for a company that has higher technology and standards than where they work before.
8. Hire only people that bring you profit.
Using other people’s labors is the greatest source of profit. Up to a certain level you can have help from people that aren’t working for you, your friends and relatives. However, you can get direct and full profit from people whom you hire to do the job. Of course, net profit will bring you only workers that produce much more than they cost.
9. Give a way work that is not your specialty.
The most successful professional businesses are those that do what they can do the best and don’t waste time on things that others can do for them. If they specialize in research and inventory than they use the third party businesses for manufacture, advertising, and sale. If they are experts in manufacturing expensive, unique goods for elites, they are never going on the regular market.
10. Use available capital as source to make extra profit.
Making profit by using your capital means using money to get a surplus value. For example: purchase equipment to replace human work, or get new distribution software that makes processing more efficient. Actually, use your capital to improve your business in every possible way.
To attain financial success, you have to think, act, and feel like a rich person. The Wealth Express report will expose what the wealthy are thinking and doing, so you can get the same results as they are getting.

Take a look at your career in a new fashion first. Everything that you have gathered until now from books and lectures makes only a small part of the knowledge that is necessary for a victorious career. You should dig out and use in your interest the internal information. With this information you will be able to convince your boss and coworkers that you have huge potentials and that you will do everything that is necessary to move up in your career.
If some good uncle or true friend hasn’t told you about unwritten rules of career builder yet, then your career is under great danger. Meanwhile, you are running on a skateboard and looking at the cars on the freeway. We prepared this article for you, so you can have the opportunity to switch a skateboard for a steady and comfortable “Lamborghini”.
What are the unwritten rules that are so necessary to know for successful career? They are amazingly simple.
1. Make your work more significant and important
For successful managers in any company, there is an opportunity for growth. John Smith was a project leader in the department of market research. Soon, he understood that he must make his work more interesting and necessary; otherwise he will stick in this position for a long time doing a boring job.
To make work is more interesting, John has decided to make it a little bit more complicated. Instead of simply following company instructions and analyzing telephone surveys, he came up with the idea to make those surveys more efficient. Besides that in the reports to his managers, he provided an analysis of “bottlenecks” in surveys and ways to correct it. As a result of his work, John was appointed to a manager of department with a clear prospect of the further growth.
2. If circumstances demand it – take the leadership
Joan Smith is successfully working in the company. She says that one of the ways of her management style is to help her coworkers. When her coworkers can’t find optimum solutions for the problem, Joan takes the responsibility on herself and shows them a way that considers the best. She willingly heads the small special groups that are created to find the decision of some problems. She considers that it helps her to become a better leader. Managing a team and working on developing leadership qualities, Joan gets experience that she needs to work in a high position. I am sure that some day she will receive it.
3. Create an information network
The information network consists of coworkers and employees knowing what’s going on in the organization. Susan Ross is always trying to know what the projects are that other groups are working on and how it relates to her work. This way, she considers, is a good way to build an informational network which helps her in opportunity to grow with in the company. She determined the rule for her to know everything that is going on in the company and who is responsible for it. Then, she contacts those people and provides them with necessary information or help. Having such contacts helps Susan gets access to sources which otherwise would be hard to find for her.
4. Be able to manage the uncertainties
This is difficult, because uncertainty underlies in the majority of critical situations at work. Those who are able to manage this kind of situation are highly appreciated and quickly move up in their career.
Bill Bower worked with the boss who always gave uncertain tasks. But Bill never complained and always handles assignments. He manages a situation in a smart way. He started from collecting necessary information by himself. Bill asked everybody: colleagues, subordinates, and project leads. If necessary, he even guessed but always moved forward in his assignment. From time to time he talked to his boss, to make sure that he is on right way. With all the necessary information and common sense, Bill not only completed his assignments on time but also became his assistant.
5. Learn from your mistakes
Of course, we all make mistakes. The most information that I have had come to me are from managers who got a lot of experience in management. They had a rise after a lot of misses in their career. The major difference between people that succeed and those who slowly creep up in their career consists not in quantity of the mistakes that they made and their type but how they responded to these mistakes. People are learning on mistakes but everybody knows that it is better to learn on somebody’s mistakes. You can avoid making the mistakes and lay your way to success.
