Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

SOWING AND REAPING
After about three months her boss called her in and closed the door.
He said that he really appreciated the work that she was doing for
him, and he wanted to increase her pay. He asked her not to tell
anyone else so that it didn’t create any waves around the office. He
then raised her salary from $1,500 to $1,750 per month.
She thanked him, and continued looking for ways to help him in
his job. Three months later, he increased her pay again, and three
months later, he increased her salary once more. By the end of the
year, she was earning $2,250 per month, a 50 percent increase,
while the other secretaries around her were still earning an average
of $1,500.
She said it was absolutely amazing what happened when she be-
gan to focus all of her energies on adding value to her boss and to
her company. And this same strategy can work for you.
