You may find yourself making important business decisions today, which could leave you feeling trustworthy and responsible in your work duties. Since these feelings can contribute to a greater sense of confidence about your own abilities, you might want to take this opportunity to see about advancing your career. You might speak to your boss about a promotion or come up with ideas that will help you take on greater responsibilities in your job. Another way to create more opportunities for advancement today is to brainstorm about possible special projects you could propose to your superiors and offer to take a leadership role to see them through.

By expressing our desire to advance professionally, we attract attention from those in a position to offer us lucrative opportunities. Many of us feel intimidated about asking for a promotion or raise in pay because we fear it makes us look greedy or selfish. Waiting in silence for bigger opportunities, however, may delay their arrival indefinitely. If we instead take the initiative to gather our confidence and ask for the opportunity to advance, we demonstrate the qualities of leadership and responsibility. This brings our achievements to the attention of our superiors, who are in a position to open the doors of opportunity and reward us for our forthrightness and our burning desire to excel. Stepping forward in confidence and asking for what you want today can be the catalyst in achieving it.
