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.

Are You In Control?


Are You In Control ?

Are you really in control? This is a most important question to ask yourself. It requires total honesty with no one but yourself. Lets look at the controlling factors. I would like you to ask yourself about Time and Money. Is there enough of both?

Is there enough time for yourself and love ones? Do you have money when you have time? Are you being controlled by money or the lack of it? I know there are a lot of questions but you have to face up to it and take control.

The need for money steals precious time. You have no choice but to trade your time for money. This act alone controls everyone around you. Good or Bad it is a simple fact we all face daily.

How would your life style change if you did not have to worry about going to work for eight or more hours a day. Lets be real here, after getting ready, travel time to and from work, and the actual time at work, we are spending more like ten to twelve hours a day every time we go to the job.

Now factor in the time you and your love ones require and we find yourselves needing a 48 hour day to cover it. So everyone suffers from this money monster.

How would your life style change if you had no money worries? Does you job pay you what you are worth for your time and efforts. Most times not even close, yet we still jump when the old alarm clock yells. This is no Quality of Life and what signal does this send to our children. Is this what you want for them?

We have all had that awesome weekend with our love ones but to only dread a fast approaching Monday. Then the nightmare starts again. This is crazy not even necessary. It is time to take charge and regain your freedom.

Find a Personal Interest in a niche you would enjoy developing. It becomes easy if you have a true interest and far more enjoyable. The best way to get paid what you are worth is to Work for Yourself. This is easier than most think.

Find an organization with a Proven System in place. More important with people you would enjoy learning from. Support from these individuals is key to your success.

There are a lot of businesses available but few with true support. If they are covert in disclosing basic information you should move on. Too many become hard to track down after they have your money in hand. Look for a plain and simple break down of all monies and materials needed to start. No surprises, no additional monies here and there further down the line. If you hear the word upgrade you need to run. If you have to pay for a level here and a level there, you need to question their system.

So take your time and choose carefully. If you would like help in this process we can help coach you. We offer a unique system with superior support. Our product line is well targeted and sells itself. We will be happy if you allow us to help you. We can walk you through and answer any question with no obligation.
