How do you get better at your job? -By Harvey Mackay

When I am hired to speak to a company or association, I typically talk ahead of time to six to eight people who will be in the audience to get a better sense of the group. I ask them a series of questions about creative selling, teamwork, negotiations, how they get close to their customers and so on. Then I surprise them and ask what they do to get better at their jobs?

Over the years some of the typical answers I’ve received include: going back to school to learn new skills or get another degree, joining trade organizations and attending events, networking, listening to speakers, reading everything they can get their hands on, being more available, working harder and smarter, improving people skills and many more.

These are all great ideas, but I’d like to add to the list and share some of my ideas on what you can do to get better at your job.

Improve your time management.

Most people fail because they let time manage them rather than managing their time. Time becomes a crook. Often it’s the people who make the worst use of their time who complain there is never enough of it.

Get organized. This will not only improve your productivity, but it will streamline your life, lower your stress

and save you money. The Wall Street Journal reported that the average U.S. executive wastes six weeks per year retrieving misplaced information from messy desks and files. (I’m still working on this.)

Stay positive. Positive thinking is more than just a tagline; it changes the way we behave. And I firmly believe that when I’m positive, it not only makes me better, but it also makes those around me better. Positive thinking turns obstacles into opportunities.

Write down your goals. Goals not only give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive to keep you going all day. Goals tend to tap the deeper resources and draw the best out of life. Achieving goals produces significant accomplishments.

Learn to compromise.When you observe the politics in Washington, compromise appears to be a lost art. Maybe that’s because it often is looked upon as weakness. Nothing could be further from the truth. Business involves constant compromise - negotiating contracts, hiring, closing sales and so on.

Compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that each party thinks they got the biggest piece.

Exercise your mind and body. Taking care of business starts with taking care of yourself. Exercise makes me feel better and gives me energy to work more productively. My philosophy is exercise doesn’t take time; it makes time.

Develop your confidence. Confidence doesn’t come naturally to most people. Even the most successful people have struggled with it in their careers.

The good news is that you can develop confidence just like any muscle or character trait. Some tips: improve your skills, keep track of your success, practice being assertive and step out of your comfort zone.

Improve your relationship with your boss. A good relationship with your boss is the foundation of a successful career.

Your boss is the person most likely to recognize your contributions and achievements and potentially recommend you for promotions. Strive for a positive work environment.

Surround yourself with mentors and coaches. You can’t do it all by yourself.

Seek out the very best help you can find to take your game to the next level. On the flip side, don’t shy away from mentoring younger workers because business is a team sport.

Practice public speaking. Most people dread public speaking but there are few skills more important. Public speaking improves your confidence and Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3

Daisy/Brownie Troop 483 of Holdingford donated $200 worth of food to the local food shelf on Tuesday, May 28th.

Congratulations to Margaret Peterson, the 2013 Swanville Teacher of the Year.

Margaret teaches high school math, and is the testing coordinator. One of her classes is college algebra, which she teaches to Swanville students and other students in other high schools via interactive television. Margaret previously taught in North Dakota before coming to Swanville. Congratulations again Margaret. Pictured is (from left) Margaret Peterson and Superintendent Gene Harthan.

Upsala Jr. High Student of the Month Rhiana Mayer is Upsala Area School’s Junior High Student of the Month. Her parents are Christina and Adam Mayer. Rhiana was chosen because she is very hard working, always asks questions if she is unsure about an assignment, and is always willing

to help out.

Her favorite class is agriculture, “because I get to work in the greenhouse!”

She has worked many hours after school in the greenhouse, tending to the plants and working with customers during business hours. Rhiana’s agriculture instructor, Gretchen Schleper, finds her to do a great job with customer service, is very conscientious of doing a good job, and is always coming up with ways we can do things better! She has been invaluable to the greenhouse program this year.

Rhiana plays volleyball, and is on the B honor roll. In her spare time, she likes to earn money by babysitting. Her future plans are to go to college, and is still thinking about what her field of study would be. Her advice for classmates is “be yourself, don’t be someone you aren’t.”

Minnesota Through The Lens:

Submitted by: Lori Young

Pictured is (from left) Paul Anderson, Lisa and Steve Groetsch.

By State Rep. Paul Anderson The sun came out just in time last Saturday morning, June 1, for the Stearns County Breakfast on the Farm. Held at the Steve and Lisa Groetsch Dairy, just north of Albany, the event has gotten bigger in each of its six years of existence.

Upwards of 3,000 people were expected to visit the farm and have breakfast, and then tour the modern dairy set-up. Four robotic milking systems handle that part of the operation on the 250-head of cows, while ten other employees, including the three Groetsch children, help out with other duties on the farm.

The amount of work and the number of people needed to pull off an event

such as this is amazing. From parking cars at the Albany High School parking lot, to the fleet of buses that transported people from there to the farm, to those who cooked up the breakfast, it was a team effort. Lots of kids’ activities were featured, with probably the busiest being the display of small farm animals.

One young guy let out a squeal of delight when a young calf got up from a sitting position and looked at the amazed youngster.

That’s what those of us involved in agriculture need to do more of. We need to tell the story of production agriculture to a public that’s rapidly losing its connection to the farm. I visited

courses. In this period of time Jacob has displayed higher-level thinking and just an overall liking and understanding of science. The attribute that I appreciate the most about Jacob is his positive attitude! He is a very positive, witty, and compassionate young man. Jacob is very deserving of this award.”

“Jacob Opelia, a senior at Swanville High School, is a good student who is personable, friendly, and outgoing,” adds Kathy Detloff, High School English Teacher. “He strives for excellence in his school work, including several college classes, and his many extra activities whether sports or the high school plays. Jacob is pleasant to everyone and his smile and good humor make him an

important part of our student body. He is willing to help both students and staff and is genuinely concerned about the welfare of others. Jacob is an excellent representative of our student body and deserves the recognition of being selected as our May Senior High Student of the Month.”

Sorting through details of tax increases Most of the attention since the Legislative session ended has focused on the massive tax bill passed by the Democratic majority and signed by Governor Dayton.

amounts to a 25 percent increase. The rate will go from 7.85 percent up to 9.85, making Minnesota one of the highest income tax states in the nation.

There are also increases in corporate and estate taxes, along with a miscellaneous increase in tax on car rentals. The tobacco tax was also hit with substantial increases, with the excise tax on cigarettes increasing by $1.60 per pack. In addition, little cigars will see increased taxes, along with a category called “moist snuff.”

Changes were also made to the sales tax, although the Governor’s major revision in that category, the businessto- business sales tax, was dropped, we thought. Late in the conference committee process a warehousing and storage tax was added, along with sales tax being applied to electronic and commercial equipment repair and maintenance.

That’s a big one, as it affects farmers by making the labor portion of repair work subject to the tax. Also added to the list of items to be subjected to Minnesota’s 6.876-percent sales tax are direct satellite services, digital products, and Internet purchases.

Eating Disorders

The St. Cloud Hospital Behavioral Health Clinic is offering a Family and Friends Support Group for Eating Disorders from 4:30-6 p.m. the first Thursday of the month at CentraCare Health Plaza in the Leonard, Street & Deinard room. There will be no support group in July. Groups are led by a licensed psychologist or registered dietitian and provide support through education and sharing to friends and family of individuals with eating disorders. Participants will learn tips for making mealtimes less stressful, how to respond to food and body image struggles and what to say or not to say.

Each month different topics will be explored. This month’s session will highlight the Minnesota Semistarvation Experiment, which found that individuals with eating disorders have thoughts and behaviors similar to those of men who experienced semi-starvation.

There is no cost to attend. For more information, please call Bette Bakke, PhD, LP, at 320-229-4918.

A mother asked her little girl, “What shall we thank God for today?”

“My mumps,” she answered quickly.

“Now He can make me well!”

Every problem that we have is an opportunity for God to show His presence and power in our lives. So often we do not realize that everything about us is an opportunity for God to do something for us.

Often we need to remind ourselves that if something affects us it concerns God. Do you remember the story about the Israelites fleeing Egypt? Chasing them were the Egyptians. Surrounding them were the mountains. And before them was a sea. What a dilemma!

What did Moses do? Did he turn around and surrender? Did he fall down in despair? No. He trusted God and prayed!

And did it work?

Indeed!

What a God we have! If only we would let Him work His wonders in our life by trusting in Him and believing in His greatness and goodness!

The goal of the SRP is to encourage children and teens to continue reading during the summer months. Studies show students who enroll in library summer reading programs and continue to read during the summer maintain or improve their reading skills more than those who do not.

Visiting and vacationing children who do not live in the area are welcome to participate in the SRP. All books and reading materials count for the program, including materials that do not belong to the library.

Great River Regional Library (GRRL) provides library services at 32 public libraries in Benton, Morrison, Sherburne, Stearns, Todd and Wright Counties. It provides Central Minnesota residents with nearly 1 million books, CDs and DVDs, 250 public computers, programming and information services.

OPEN HOUSE • OPEN HOUSE • OPEN HOUSE

Great River Regional Library (GRRL) will begin its annual Summer Reading Program (SRP) for children and teens ages 0-18 on Monday, June 10, continuing through Saturday, Aug. 10. The SRP will be offered at all 32 GRRL locations in Central Minnesota.

Two programs are offered: “Dig Into Reading” for children from birth through sixth grade, and “Beneath The Surface” for children entering grades six through twelve. Children entering sixth grade may choose to register for either program. “Dig Into Reading” includes a baby/toddler program for ages 0 to 3 to enjoy with their parents/caregivers. Watch for fun SRP additions on the library website at www. griver.org.

Upon registering, participants will receive reading records that provide a measure of how much summer reading has been done. When completed, these become coupons which can be turned in for prize drawings.

Libraries across the entire region are planning fun kick-off programs and special events to encourage participation.

Check out the events calendar on www. griver.org to find out about special pro-

Take a kid fishing and fish free June 7-9 Celebrate the end of the school year with a potential angler-to-be by fishing for free with a child 15 or younger, June 7-9, during Take-A-Kid Fishing weekend, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said.

“This is a great opportunity to discover fishing,” said Mike Kurre, the DNR’s mentoring program coordinator. “Minnesotans 16 or older who take a child 15 or younger fishing don’t need a license that weekend. Opportunities for beginning anglers abound throughout Minnesota.”

Getting started is easy. A boat isn’t needed and there’s even loaner poles and tackle in some areas.

Start by going to www.mndnr.gov/ takeakidfishing to learn some terms, basic techniques and shore-fishing locations. DNR

fisheries offices throughout Minnesota also offer some good, old-fashioned angling advice about fishing spots that will keep young anglers happy and safe.

The DNR’s Fishing in the Neighborhood (FiN) program provides urban shorefishing opportunities across the metro with family-friendly settings, piers, loaner equipment at some locations and a real chance to catch quality fish. Learn more online atwww. mndnr.gov/fin.

Four of Minnesota’s nine state parks that are offering this summer’s weekly I Can Fish! program have sessions scheduled during Take-A-Kid Fishing weekend. Sessions at each park explore the basics of fishing, fish identification and angling tips and tricks. For more information, go to www.mndnr.gov/ state_parks/can_fish.html.

Even when it’s not Take-A-Kid Fishing weekend, Minnesota residents may fish in a state park without a fishing license if the body of water doesn’t require a trout stamp. Anglers must fish from shore or wade in water within the state park or from a boat or a float on a designated lake within a Minnesota state park. More information on fishing in state parks is available at www.mndnr.gov/state_ parks/fishing.html.
