Corporate Bonuses “You will only receive 2/5ths of your bonus this year”!!!

I still remember being told this as if it happened only yesterday…. However time advances you and it’s a great healer… Life definitely has moved on!!!

At some point in the past, I was working for a very famous worldwide branded blue chip company that you would have all heard of (no names mentioned). Yes folks I was stuck in the corporate ladder just like you are now and working silly hours, getting stuck in traffic and losing all of my family and friends. Work and sleep, work and sleep, it was a really vicious cycle. I thought very naively that my hard work would be traded for fast promotions up the ranking hierarchy system and that I would be sat in some plush office in a couple of years….

The worrying thing was I saw the senior management totally lacking authority to give direction on a uniform basis and also they were totally aware of the detail – we were giving this to them by doing painful investigation work, and also working cross functionally with other departments and getting sucked up into work politics and they were getting all the high bonuses and perks. Is this picture already sounding too familiar? If your face fitted with the general realms of the office politics you were going places in this company, and you could get by without working. Others of us would be asking for more work and being denied. I was working to the personal business competencies of a chosen few that would unfortunately determine my remuneration and career.

Eventually I came to my yearly review and I was communicated my performance according to my Director boss at the time. He closed the pages on the review on what was a very sound and prosperous performance, given the changes continuously happening in the organization. Then the big bonging noise hit and he followed up with “You will only receive 2/5ths of your bonus this year”. My jaw almost dropped although I remained totally composed and neutral faced. I could tell he was struggling with why I was so composed when he knew I had done better and so did I. In what was a hilarious moment for me, I saw people who had done very little to add value being marked high for bonuses and myself being pulled down. It was to be expected in a company that was driving its mission statement and not letting the mission statement run the company. I had totally respected my boss up to this point but this was where I lost it. I thought of the millions of people that must also be going through this.

Lucky for me I had already started the work ages ago to get financial freedom and I briefly smiled to my boss, which must have caused him further discomfort. I eventually left the company and the rest as they say is history. You see folks; your subconscious mind tells you to be scared of management at work, because they typically shape your future. However, this way only a few people get to the top of the salary scales. Today, I am in a situation to shape my own future and anyone else’s around the world if they need it. I work the hours I want, I get into traffic if I want, and take the level of stress I see fit. I have a work life balance, a loving family and also friends and I have never looked back. You get one life and very few opportunities to reach all your goals, and financial freedom is clearly an important one. Today I can show you how to get a business up within 48 hours and work from anywhere in the world and be earning money in your sleep or in different time zones so that you earn money 24/7, I can show you how to write your own bonus figure!

The Adnan Business Model (ABM) Revisited

Preparations are well under way for the Thrive Super Conference happening in June 2010 already, please visit our website at www.thrivesuperconference.com – you will have noticed that I never ever start a blog by giving any mention to my conferences but a lot is happening and so I would give the site a visit, as we have some surprises for you.
That said, I thought it would also be wise to mention The Adnan Business Model again as a couple of things happened over the last few days. It was earlier this week that I had a major product inventor and also a manufacturer approach me with potential products that they had invented. These guys were o secretive of their products that I had to fill out an NDA form agreeing not to share the details of their product beyond the terms of the agreement to anyone. People have every reason to do this, there is a cut throat world out there based on intense and often illegal competition, to rip people off to make a fast buck!
On this particular occasion I was being summoned as a venture capitalist to invest some heavy money into the products. The products were indeed first rate, and I could see a future worldwide with the products in question, but was absolutely astonishing to me was these guys were just after money. They had no strategy in terms of how the products would be unleashed onto the market and by what methods. They talked about big advertising campaigns which made me go into ABM mode.
Think about this and humour me if you will. Most people get to work in a job and in the current economic downturn they are not sure if they will keep that job long term. Coupled with this they put up with all the unfortunate demands placed on them in an office culture where bosses want work like you own the company. A few more of us are able to travel maybe to a different office within the same country or in a different country. Then if some of us have a business we get bit more flexibility on how to conduct the rules of the business but largely we work very hard and also we work in our country of residence.
You can imagine therefore why my ABM hat went on with these products. I immediately thought global; I had the technology to market this stuff world wide in niche markets through absolutely every tool I had without having to spend even a penny if I really wanted to. Obviously it would be prudent to spend some money to assist with the free marketing. I was beginning to revisit the model that had brought me much success, working on my own, enjoying the quality of life, not answering to anyone, and doing business on my terms and from within my armchair with a view to doing the business in any country I wanted to. I fancied a holiday on the beach and therefore put Dubai as a potential location for doing business. If you would like to learn more about the ABM model, please visit the Thrive Super Conference website and get booked on the conference as we are putting a great package together for you.
