LOVE YOUR JOB

It is rare to hear someone say they love their job. It seems we live in a culture where you have to wear 'hate my job' on your lapel. I do not understand this mentality.

 Working is a hard gig, takes up so much of your life, pays the bills, enables you to live the lifestyle you want so it seems to me that it is one of the most important things you will ever do. It is not pie in the sky to want or to be in a role that you love and can't wait to get to each day.

 When you have that passion, enthusiasm you are a much more valuable employee and it will impact favorably on your mental and physical health and you will get through the boring bits of any job easier. It is necessary to take time out to identify what it is that you want - where your natural abilities lie. This is the area that many people stay stuck in their whole life because they can't work out what it is they want to do so they do nothing.

 To me, this is a tragic waste of life. You just need to start, doing anything is better than spending your whole life just thinking about it. As you progress you will be open to opportunities, learn about what you like and can then makedecisions based on that information. It is important to think in project terms, to focus, reevaluate and monitor your progress.

 I developed a process that works when those committed to it are willing to put in the hard work. It is an audio book called If it's to be: It's up to me. I would advise anyone to get professional help with this and work with an executive coach because they can help you to develop aplan and then work towards your goal.
