5. Paying attention to details

The thing behind every outstanding act is always found in the smallest of details."If you long to accomplish great and noble tasks, you first must learn to approach every task as though it were great and noble. Even the biggest plans depend on the success of the smallest components. Many people downplay small details, dismissing them as minutia-the "small stuff," that we're encouraged to ignore. But, in fact, our whole environment is simply collection of small details.

Successful people, in many walks of life, understand the importance of detail: Watching CSI you will notice that crime scene investigators know that it's often the smallest, most obscure detail that results in the arrest and prosecution of criminals. In Athletes coaches are all too aware that one minor misjudgement can swing momentum to their competitor and result in a loss rather than a win.

6. Loyalty

Watch your words, never speak negatively about your boss or be around those who do because you do not want those seeds to be planted inside of you. Loyalty includes taking charge of bad thoughts. Don’t think of your boss in a bad way. Every thought you have produces something in my life. Negative thoughts will produce negative fruit in my life. Make it your deliberate effort to focus mostly on the good parts and before you know it as you think so it will become.

7. Perception

Pay attention to the perception that your boss has of you because it is generally his reality of you. Anytime my boss sees me working it should as if I am working hard. Perception is more powerful than truth. If my boss perceives me as a hard worker I will get a raise. Remember your boss can’t be there every single hour to see how hard you are working so the limited time he is there make sure he perceives you as a hard worker. Perceptions guard it, protect it and enhance it.
