It would be my guess, and it's only a guess I have not completed any formal survey on this subject, that at least 75% of employees are unhappy with their job. It can be for many reasons, financial, they are not being paid what they believe they are worth. Satisfaction, the job just does not make them want to get up in the morning. Work life balance, they spend more time at work than with family or pleasurable activities. So what do you think, you think I'm right?
So if people are that unhappy why do they continue down this path? Fear; they are afraid of losing everything, possessions, respect, confidence; what would my neighbors think? Even if they feel in their heart there is something better out there, what they most often do is look for another job.
What they should be doing is taking control. Business is not about how much you know it's about how much you feel. Don't believe me, take this short quiz and see what you think at the end.
1. Write down three of your top wins or accomplishments to date. The win could be finishing high school or college, landing the job in the field of your dreams, marrying the love of your life, having children. This will be different for everyone...
2. Now pick one of the top three events that exude the strongest feelings within you. Then make a list of the qualities and characteristics that led you to that achievement. How where you thinking, what where you feeling? A quality might me trust, passion, focus, honesty or enthusiasm. Come up with as many of them as you can think of.
3. Now...this is the fun part. Mark an (m) for mindset or an (s) for skill related next to each quality or characteristic it most applies to.
What did you see? Same thing I did I'll bet. Most are mindset or emotional aspects.
Your success is in the way you think, what you believe in and how you apply that you your daily activities. If you think something is not going to work you can bet it won't. Now I'm not going to say that you don't have to have some knowledge of building a business for success. However, it is not all you need to become a successful home business owner.
So as you ponder the results of this little activity, ponder your way to fulfilling your dreams. Start right now developing a plan to your success and out of your dead end job.
