Careers, Life and Questions (Oct 22, 2024)
Wish you a Happy Career Tuesday!
3 Career Ideas
I.
"You get the highest value from your skill when you teach it. It is when you start teaching that you truly master the skill and multiply the outcomes you deliver.
Remember - a novice is paid for his skills. The master is paid far more to guide and lead the novices."
II.
"Do you want different results from your life? Change what goes in and what comes out will change.
Change either your environment, or the people you spend time with, or the content you consume or the actions in your daily routine. Watch your life transform."
III.
"What are you getting paid for?
No - it is not for attending office, nor for answering calls or sending emails or attending meetings, nor for doing most of the things defined in your role. Possibly you are paid to bring in money if you are in sales. Or deliver a product to the customer on time and without defects, if you are in operations. Or hire a new person, get them to join and stay for a long while - if you are a recruiter.
Never lose focus on what you are paid for. Make sure you deliver that every day and get better at it. Then your job is safe and growth is assured. "
