Getting Ahead
Harness the power of "multiplicative effects"
Focus on career enhancements that will have "multiplicative effects," such as investing in long-term growth in knowledge and relationships, writes Michael Church. "[Y]ou're better off having an average reputation and investing mental energy in self-improvement, than being the 'team player' who everyone likes but no one sees as a leader or promotes," he writes.

Keys to conquering temptation
Research conducted at Florida State University indicates that some of the keys to boosting self-control involve sleep, exercise, eating healthy and meditating daily. Also, "wait at least 10 minutes before succumbing to temptation" and often the desire fades away, Travis Bradberry writes. Inc. online (free registration) (10/28)

How Much Do You Really Need to Make? The Answer May Shock You
Rather than focus on what you can afford to pull out of the business to cover your living expenses, you need to focus on how much you need to earn at your business in order to afford the lifestyle you want to have. This is where the Personal Earnings Goal, or PEG, comes into play. Learn how to calculate your PEG and find out how much you really need to make.

Making the Connection
Become a LinkedIn power networker
Spend 15 to 30 minutes each day networking on LinkedIn to grow your connections to 500 or more within a five-month period, suggests PR professional Yasheaka Oakley. As part of your daily networking, join relevant LinkedIn Groups and add targeted keywords to your profile. Career Attraction Blog (10/28)

The Landscape
Minimum wage remains a winner for Democrats

Republicans are struggling to deal with Democrats' calls for minimum-wage increases, with voters in five states poised to approve measures calling for significant minimum-wage hikes. "It gives Democrats a concrete offer on what is increasingly seen as the main problem," says Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg. "Jobs that don't pay enough to live on ... people know what a struggle it is for low-wage workers." Politico (10/29)

Your Next Challenge
How applicant-tracking systems interpret resume lengths
While longer resumes tend to do better than shorter ones in applicant-tracking systems, there's no "magic" word count to target, writes Tim Windhof. Eventually a resume will be screened by an actual person and can get tossed in the "no" pile if it's not up to par. Careerealism.com (10/27)

Balancing Yourself
4 creative ways to say "no"
Saying "no" to certain things is essential to surviving the working world, writes Laura Stack. That can mean parrying requests for help by making introductions or offering a compromise. "Point out you can only do one thing at a time effectively, and ask -- again, without rancor -- for assistance in prioritizing," Stack advises. The Productivity Pro Blog (10/23)

The Water Cooler

Romantic comedies have changed over the years -- and one of the most obvious changes is in the net worth of the films' main characters, writes Meredith Haggerty. In the 1930s, millionaires and aristocrats abounded; by the 1990s and movies like "You've Got Mail," rom-com characters thought about money but always had enough; and in this century, many characters are struggling or broke. That's a sign of the evolving fantasy lives and complicated realities of modern film-goers, Haggerty argues. Medium/Matter (10/24)
