Asking for a raise, or focus on deserving one?

I’m finding myself stumble across a rather broad array of articles talking about “getting that raise you deserve” or “asking for what you deserve.”

Maybe it’s time people should turn that greedy green eye inward and think - what can I do to deserve that raise?

Simply put - keep yourself focused on your client, and make sure the company benefits from you. If you maintain these two, simple rules, you can both have a higher outlook in your job (especially with the economic downturn) but when times are good - have a better bargaining chip for a raise!
