Trouble is, you've only been in your current position for about eight months. There's also been some talk of hiring from outside. Should you go for it anyway? Here are some ways to tell if it's time to power up the corporate ladder.1. You're currently one notch lower than assistant manager.

A lot of schools find it increasingly necessary to survive on raising capital through school fund raising programs to be used for school activities such as filed trips, equipments, and some school facilities.And because they have become so common with schools, a school fund raising programs should have fresh ideas. Past ideas that have worked well such as bake sales and car washes are outdated and because a lot of people have already seen them, their effectiveness is declining.

The Most Perfect Businesses Often Fail
When I was a small kid, I remember going to my Uncle Barry's house and be amazed at his paintings. His paintings looked so real, it was hard to distinguish them from photographs. I thought he was on the road to being famous.A few years later my uncle's wife passed away suddenly and he literally lost everything he owned. At the time, he owned the Gold's Gym in Huntington Beach, California. As it turned out, his wife had all the business sense and he just helped the customers. When she passed away, he sold the gym and was scammed by the new owners and never received anything beyond his down payment.Anyway, I thought he would be fine because his paintings were so good, I figured he could always make a great living with his paintings. To this day, my uncle has not sold more than 2 or 3 of his paintings despite the quality of his work and creativity of his mind. He has 2 great kids, but he has spent the majority of his time with them living off various welfare programs.A few weeks ago, I was in Barcelona, Spain and had a chance to visit the Picasso museum. I really enjoyed seeing Picass

What Signals Are You Giving?
When I was old enough to learn how to drive, I asked my Dad for lessons. The first thing he did was to buy me the book "Defensive Driving." He told me I had to read it, (and wouldn’t let me behind the wheel until I did) but all I really needed to know about driving defensively, he said, boiled down to one thing: "Just because a woman has her blinker on, doesn't mean she's going to turn!" My Dad’s advice about driving taught me two important lessons that I’ve found apply to just about everything:1. Pay close attention to what others are doing and not doing -- things are not always obvious or what they seem to be.2. Use the information to control what you can -- your own decisions.These lessons especially apply to business and the signals an organization sends about what is important and valued in its culture. If people are paying attention (and most people are) they are getting big hints from what is said and what is actually done. Mixed messages are dangerous if the organization is trying to attract and retain the talent it needs to thrive.Red FlagsWhat every compan
