Hi!How are you? I do hope that you are as incredibly fantastic as I am. I've just put in 5.5 hours of real good manual labor (helping a client move) and I couldn't be happier. Why? you might ask? Because I can, that's why. Here's my 5 tips to get yourself pumped like me. (No steroids involved.)
1. Do what you love. There's a very little percentage of people anymore that really take time out of what life they have left in them to do something not in their best interest. People are beginning to wake UP. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to program you with some special code enabling you to live the life you dream of. Sure you might not gain those successes right off the bat, but with effort, charisma, and heart, you can make money doing what you love.
2. Surround yourself with people, GOOD people. It's only common sense that happiness and positivity recreate themselves. Want proof? Go listen to a motivational speaker, or something provocative on www.TED.com You'll be inspired. If you have someone in your life that you know can install this in you, invite them to lunch, go for a hike, have a brainstorm over a fresh juice from a juice bar in town. You'll feel better, and you'll act different, a change is brewing.
3. Don't let anyone ever tell you "NO." A wholesome buzz-kill that word is. No one ever told me I couldn't succeed at my business of choice, and I'm telling you right now, life ain't that bad. This goes along with good people, but 9 times out of 10, they'll all have something nice to say. If someone is being under-appreciative, make new friends, there are plenty of fish in the sea.
4. Bring your "A" game. It's not easy doing what you love, there will be trials and tribulations, more hoops than working at Target, that's for sure. Be sure that everything you're offering can be completed by you and you alone. Otherwise, get a partner, what if thereare people out there that think the same? Whoa.
5. Always have a back-up plan. I know of a few quotes that get this point across. "Measure twice, cut once.." "Know where you're exit rows are at all times". It helps your mentality to know that if something fails, the next best thing is waiting at home. Always be in the development stages.
So as you can probably tell, this list revolves around being self-employed. I've also taken into consideration those who might not have a choice in the matter...
1. No matter what, HAVE FUN! There's no sense in doing something super boring and not making complete fun out of it. Change your thinking, change your life. Get co-workers involved, make HAVOC. (Just thinking about it makes me want to dance in the street, naked.)
2. Remember that work is just work. There will be a point when you go home for the day, and with that....Make home fun. Remember those plastic basketball hoops that you could hang on any door in your house? Buy 5 of those, and hang them in the most odd places, i.e.~ front door, bathroom door.
And there you have it, another great blog. Comment and share at your free will. Thanks.
