5 Tips To Get More Out Of Your Work Day.
If you're anything like me, you spend considerable time working. Whether it's during the day or night, I'm working. That's my reality these days, and I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I always feel like since I'm working more and more hours than anyone else in history, there must be something incorrect with me when I want to do more in less time. But I can't help it.
I genuinely believe spending more time on work will get you farther in life. Even if you're already in a good position and have a successful business, working harder will give you more opportunities to grow.
Here's why.
1. You'll gain experience that can better shape your future than any degree or certification. Many people are into business for the wrong reasons; money, power, fame and recognition. The thing is, most of them don't know how to do anything but "work".
When you spend your time helping people, getting things done and learning, then you know. It's all about the experience.
You'll learn how to help people grow, build and communicate with teams, manage employees better, be a leader and a visionary, etc. You'll learn so many skills that your future employers will be begging you to stay.
2. Your customers will thank you for making them happier (and keep coming back). This is one of my favourites because it doesn't have something in it that I can't do myself (hint: running a business).
When a customer comes to your services, ask them about what they want to do and what it took for the customer to have that experience—applause to that customer for doing something you love and being happy about it.
Communicate with people on a deeper level. This is where I think you can leverage your time and presence more than anything else in the business. People will notice when you're constantly communicating with them but aren't just selling or marketing products but rather creating value by helping people learn or achieve something they want.
Share the beauty of your work with others by doing the things you're genuinely passionate about. This will help you distinguish yourself from others in your field and give you more opportunities to grow.
3. You'll learn new and unique things every single day. There are such considerable things that I've learned throughout my workday, both through personal projects, clients and even my own business. And it's incredible how much I've learned.
Whether it's about how to better communicate with others, create more engaging content for your customers or run your ideal company entirely different from everyone else, there's always something new and exciting for me in the day, every single day.
4. Your productivity will explode exponentially. What you spend your time doing every day will determine your work's quality and what you produce. When we think about it from a business perspective, some companies are highly profitable because they were able to create a niche in which no one else is competing.
That's because they spent more of their time focusing on their core values and vision to gain experience and develop their products or services. It's all about being focused so that you can be productive.
5. You'll have more opportunities when it matters the most. When you spend more time in business than ever, you're more likely to have more options.
It's not all about the money, though. It's about having the abundance mindset that leads to creativity and a bigger vision for life than anyone else.
When I see others wasting their time by putting their heads down or focusing on money, status and recognition rather than focusing on doing the work they love, it makes me sad for them because no one can be pleased if they're not doing something that brings value to themselves or others.
