This is a game plan for getting the promotion you're after. It's not a book. There are no chapters, no chapter headings, and there's no table of contents. There are 25 sections, one after another.

Each section includes a clear, concise, specific thing to do to get the promotion you're working hard for. Use them to nail it down, before somebody else does.

Every section is a piece of a game plan from the frontlines of business. None of the sharp corners have been rounded. This is how things really are. No one is going to give you a promotion. You'll have to earn it with your persona, skills, and willingness to pay the price.

Don't let anyone or anything throw you off-course. Stay focused on what you're doing, on your deadlines, and on what you're after: a bigger job, with bigger responsibilities, and a bigger paycheck.

Start today. Master every one of the 25 sections. You'll get good at the promotion game. Then, play to win; always play to win. You'll get the promotion you're after.
