3 Secret-Ish Tips To Put Your Career On The Fast Track
“The top 3% of adults in our society see themselves as self-employed” — Brian Tracy.
That then — is tip number 1:
1. Consider yourself self-employed
This makes sense, because most people working consider themselves working for others. Of course, if you’re working for a large corporation, then why wouldn’t you?
But here’s the catch.
If you think of yourself as working for someone else, then you don’t have any incentive to put in the extra hard work. In fact, all the incentive you have is to do as little as possible in order to not get fired.
This is not a very productive mindset.
A much more productive mindset is to always ask yourself, “if this was my business, what would I do?”
This creates a major shift, because it puts you in a frame of mind, where you are not doing things, because your boss is watching, or because someone has told you to. You’re doing something because it is the best possible action to take at the time.
Stop fucking around at work.
Think of yourself as self-employed.
