We Want Everyone To Succeed

We Want Everyone To Succeed


This is a very honorable want and most people truly want others to succeed with them. You must understand that as honorable as it is, it can damage your business.

When building your business you need to remember to make your priorities those that makes your business strong. Spending your time correctly is the key.

Nothing would be better than to share the steps, systems and knowledge for building their business and actually have them take action on it. Even more important have them do it as they have been shown. For all your efforts and desires to help them, only a few will take your direction to the letter.

Commitment levels differ greatly in people. Those who want to succeed will be willing to take direct and be trainable. These are the individuals you should be targeting. They will become your future leaders and require the least amount of your time in the long run.

There will be others which will not be so easy to help. They will want to change things and do things their way. They mean well but are very disruptive to your organization. If they are trying to change a proven system or business model, this will not only hurt them but can hurt your business as well. They really need to follow what is already working. If they would like to develop a new system, do it only after they are making money. Duplication will speed your business growth. Split testing will be another article in the future.

The other thing that happens is these individuals require a large part of your time. If you do not keep this in check, they can keep you from doing the things that build your business.

We want everyone to succeed but some people will not allow you to help them. Spend your time with those who have a high level of commitment. Help those who want your direction on how to build their business . The others can slow or even damage your business.

You are the expert and deserve the respect for having the knowledge and experience. Do not fault yourself for those that are not seeing the value in your help. Apply your time with those in the order of their commitment levels. Most of your time and guidance should be allotted to those who are most willing to work. Less to those who are not willing to take direction.

The individuals with less commitment levels may change after they discover their ideas are not getting results. Be patient with them and allow them to prove they deserve your efforts. Simply keep track of how they apply the steps and systems. Keep it easy with defined task and time lines.

The whole point of this is to save you time, effort and build your business quickly. Do not allow internal distractions in your organization. We want everyone to succeed and if you follow this your business and productively will improve.

Work Gratification


Work Gratification

The reason I'm writing this article is to impress upon you the importance of being in control of your work situation. We spend such a large amount of our time away at work you should not be unhappy to go to work. In order to correct this, you need an understanding how to control the situation.


What are the components of work gratification?
1. The work to be done
2. Beginning to end results
3. Sense of accomplishment
4. Just busy, no point in trying
5. Trap of position
6. Proactive or Reactive
7. Control Levels
8. Ability to influence
9. Help Levels
10. Comfort Zone

OK, lets start with the Work to be Done. Do you feel the work is important to you and others. If you just found a job for the sake of just working, you may find that your work is lacking. Low productively, quality and no sense of urgency. If at all possible find something you believe in, by luck or persistence. It is as easy as taking charge of your choices, do not just settle for anything not right for you.

Beginning to end results. What I mean here is, not everyone has a job that lets you go from start to finish. Think of it as an assembly line. There are a lot of work cells doing a small part of the total job for a complete end product. This normally results in low satisfaction. You need to see a project develop, be put together and finally to completion. Office jobs tend to be the worst. Most people have a never ending inbox with an outbox they never seem to be able to fill.

Sense of accomplishment. The need to feel you are doing something important. The finishing of a job without purpose is a real problem. It brings down self worth and the person and job suffer.

Just busy, no point in trying. This is a point people reach when they feel the effects of the first three points covered. Understanding why your attitude and mind set are affected can help to improve your outlook and productively. Your attitude is the key to it all. You need to protect your attitude at all cost. Companies and personnel alike often over look this point and suffer greatly.

Trap of Position. This is how most companies try to improve productivity. They give you a title and a bit more money, yet they expect double the work results. At first they are happy only to realize later what they got themselves into by taking the title position. Companies rarely promote the best person for the job, but focus on the persons they feel they can control. Look long term and add up the hours to pay out before jumping on a title. See it for what it truly gives you.

Proactive or Reactive. Does your job allow you to be proactive being in charge, making decisions and controlling the work situation. A reactive environment allows you no control and you can only react to the happenings of your day to day affairs. It is easy to see which is more favorable.

Control Levels. How much control does your job allow? This effects attitude and self-esteem. It is a trust issue. Too many companies over look this issue. Personnel need to feel trusted enough to control the work environment. If a person feels trusted their productivity is high, but if they feel they are not then everything diminishes.

Ability to influence. Influences on a positive note are what we strive for but most often we feel only the negative. We want to feel our influences are favorable and impact people positively.

Help Levels. People want to feel they have the support of those around them, not left out by themselves. People become overwhelmed and feel better if they think there is help around them, even if they do not ask for or use it. The idea it is there is reassuring.

Comfort Zone. Too many people get complacent, they fall into a comfort zone and become stagnant. This tears down ones self-esteem and confidence. One must feel they can better themselves and reach new levels. Challenges met and completed build confidence, improve productively and attitudes.

Now with this said, keeping in mind you yourself are the controlling factor. What should we do with this information. Review your work situation and see if it is really what you want. More and more people are coming to realize that working for the companies big or small, just do not get much work gratification. The Internet is flooded with people looking for better jobs and ideas allowing them more freedom. Have patience and look for work opportunities that offer superior support, training and freedom. Review time commitments and company mission (Are they providing products or services you would be proud of ?). See yourself for what you are and take your strengths and find a work opportunity that compliments you.
