Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - Loving Your Work

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Loving Your Work "

OK, it's Friday, and I have two questions for you. First, what do you

absolutely love to do? And second, how well do you do it?

Now, I'm betting that whatever your answer to the first question may be, the

answer to the second question will be somewhere between, " very well " and

" superbly. " Because, if you love doing something, you are probably good at

it.

Do you know anyone who has achieved tremendous success doing something he or

she hates? I don't. Mark Twain once said, " The secret of success is making

your vocation your vacation. " And that is exactly what successful people

seem to do.

Workaholics who dislike their work get ulcers, and spend the weekend resting

up so they can go to battle again on Monday. But, workaholics who love their

work get ahead. It makes their lives richer and more satisfying, and they

have tremendous energy for what they do.

By the way, did you know scientists have determined that when you do

something with enthusiasm it only takes one-tenth the energy that it takes

to do the same thing with reluctance? Sure, some jobs are easier to love

than others, but the key is to work yourself toward those jobs. And if you

can find creative ways to do what you are doing now, it will make the climb

upward faster and easier.

So, bring the same energy and enthusiasm to your work as you do to your

play, and watch what happens!
