Take It or Leave It ... But Get It Written by Nan S. Russell
Continued from page 1
Over years in corporate world, I learned to view feedback as data. The more data I got, more information I had to improve what I was working on. Realizing I was in charge of how I used that feedback data, I learned to seek it. Feedback is opinion; not fact. It's something to evaluate; not blindly accept. But, I find when several people have same perception, it's good to listen. When I get insights I hadn't thought about, it's good to consider them. When input is mixed, it's good to follow my instincts. But when people provide feedback with a hatchet, finding only fault rather than offering ideas for improvement, it's good to look at it with distant curiosity. Bottom line: if you want to be winning at working you must learn to seek and offer well-intentioned feedback. I think of it like Sicilian proverb: "Only your real friends will tell you your face is dirty." Let input, suggestions, and feedback be real friends at work. (c) 2004 Nan S. Russell.

HOW DO YOU GET STARTED EARNING MONEY FILLING IN SURVEYS? Let's get started with how to start an at home career by filling in surveys, to do this you need to follow these steps: Step1: REGISTER WITH ALL THE COMPANIES: This can seem like a long task, but take our word for it, it will pay off. The more companies you register with more invites to participate in surveys, and thus...more money for you. Even if a survey only gives prizes as rewards, register with them anyways. You would be amazed how many of our members have earned big rewards by winning those survey draws. Step 2: BE HONEST IN YOUR OPINION: Companies are looking for individuals from all walks of life to fill surveys, there is not one mainstream demographic that they are searching for. Step 3: CHECK COMPANIES FREQUENTLY: There are several companies that don't send out email invites to every survey, make sure to browse these companies often to see if there is any paid surveys to participate in. Step 4: FILL IN THE ADDITIONAL PROFILES: There are several companies that urge you to fill in additional profiles (i.e.: what vehicle you drive, your spending habits online, etc.) I too, urge you to fill in these additional profiles, as they will qualify you for even more surveys, and you will get more invites. STEP 5: WORK FOR YOURSELF: You are now working for your own income, and it is up to you how much you earn. Your effort in this process is what will pay off, be determined in your surveys, and you will see benefits!!!
