    About this ebook

    Do you want a successful career?
    Do you want that promotion?
    Do you want to earn more money?
    Do you want to be happy at work?

    When you begin applying the seven simple rules featured in this book to your work-life, you’ll understand what it feels like to truly succeed. You won’t need to be at the office for 60hours every week, or kiss your manager’s feet for the raise you deserve. Your friends and colleagues will watch in awe, as you cruise to the top of the ladder in no time at all.

    You will achieve all your current goals and more once you make yourself more valuable in the workplace. Have you ever wondered how some people just seem to shoot up the corporate ladder effortlessly, while others struggle to get past the first few rungs? Well you don’t have to work longer hours, or become a slave to the company in order to succeed like them– You just need to understand how they do it - and then go do the same.

    In this book, you will learn just ONE thing, and that one thing is going to change everything related to your career. You are going to learn how to become as indispensable to your boss, and to your job as humanly possible. I say as humanly possible, because nobody is ever 100% indispensable. However, you can become so valuable that any company would be foolish to lose you without a fight – and all you need to do is follow a few key rules. Every game has its rules, and the career game is no different. To win the game, just become so damn valuable to the company that they would never even remotely entertain the idea of losing you.

    One of the biggest mistakes I made as an employee, was to assume that as long as nobody complained about me, and my name never came up in our regular weekly meetings – I was doing great. If I hadn’t heard from my line manager by the time Friday 4.30pm rolled around, I just knew the weekend was going to be another stress-free couple of days.

    The rules featured within this book are not the only rules for succeeding in your quest for a successful career. However, they have been carefully selected as some of the most important ones. When attempting to achieve anything worthwhile in life, there will always be some rules which must be considered, otherwise you’ll have no direction, and less chance of succeeding.

    When you understand how to apply the seven rules for boosting your career, nothing will stand in your way of earning the money you deserve:
    Rule # 1 Communicate like a pro
    Rule # 2 Set clear goals
    Rule # 3 Respect other peoples’ time
    Rule # 4 Have a positive attitude
    Rule # 5 Continuously improve yourself
    Rule # 6 Align your goals with your boss’s goals
    Rule # 7 Determine your value

    I promise you this: Understand these seven rules, apply them to your work-life, and watch the magic begin to happen for you in just a few short months.

    As a Self-Help writer, blogger - my mission is to pass on what I've learned, and hope that you will use that knowledge to acieve what your goals in life. In order for that to happen, I need us to build a trusting relationship, and for that to be possible - you have to know who I am, and what I stand for. If you’ve read my book “Avoiding the maze”, you’ll know that I often have a problem trusting something if I don’t know HOW it works. I usually need some sort of scientific evidence, and even when I find evidence, I often conduct a few experiments of my own, just to make certain I’m on the right track. You see, life’s short, and I don’t like wasting time on things that don’t work for me. For more than thirty years, I searched for that illusive something which I thought would make me happy, and in turn make my life perfect. Throughout that time, I must have read at least two hundred books, and listened to more CD’s than I care to remember. Until about ten years ago, I felt as though I was lost in a maze of information. There just seemed to be too many theories that all sounded perfectly true to me on some level, while on the other side of the coin, a number of those same theories also tended to contradict each other in a number of areas. Furthermore, I found it difficult to understand why, with so many people reading all those books – finding just a handful of them who actually discovered what they were looking for, was like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. I just became so damn sick and tired of waiting for all the wonderful things I was told I could receive in my life by doing stuff like trusting in the Law of Attraction, practicing positive thinking, meditating, and dozens of other fantastic things that so many gurus write about in their best-selling works of art. I just wanted someone to tell me how, in simple, good old easy to comprehend, English. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for. In-fact I became so tired of it, that I decided to make it my mission in life to find out HOW these things work, and then share the answers with you, so you don’t have to spend countless hours wondering through that huge maze of self-help information, the way I did. I hope I won’t let you down during this quest, and if at any stage you find me joining all the other writers who force you to consult a dictionary every second paragraph, just so you can understand what they’re saying – please do not hesitate to tell me. Yours in Truth DC West

      One of the biggest mistakes I made as an employee, was to assume that as long as nobody complained about me, and my name never came up in our regular weekly meetings – I was doing great. If I hadn’t heard from my line manager by the time Friday 4.30pm rolled around, I just knew the weekend was going to be another stress-free couple of days.

      I can recall quite vividly, a time when I was still a young sales rep. Our regular Friday afternoon ritual was for entire sales team to go for drinks at 4.30pm. It was something we all looked forward to each week and we’d spend a couple of hours complaining about the company and boasting about how stealthily we flew under the radar for an entire five days. Not a single call from the boss since our Monday morning sales meeting.

      However, there was always that one poor sucker who arrived late just about every single time. The boss always seemed to find some reason to call him in for a quick chat almost every Friday around 4.30pm. None of us ever thought to inquire what the boss could’ve wanted from him during our sacred beer drinking time every single Friday. We were all just too damn happy it wasn’t
