Work Approach and Job Satisfaction
You didn’t get where you are in life by just skating by. They don’t give you a Mercedes just for showing up on time; it takes a specific attitude to reach your degree of success.
The way you approach your position, whether it’s as an executive or as an entrepreneur, has a lot to do with your satisfaction on the job. Here are three ways of looking at your job, and how they relate to your satisfaction:
Work as a job. If you think of your work as a job, you’re focused on the outcome. You like the paycheck, and your work might not even interest you. you want the lifestyle, and it’s why you’re there. Unfortunately, this attitude rarely leads to satisfaction or sucess.
Work as a career. If you think of work as a career, you want to climb the ladder. You’re motivated by status, by prestige and by power. Unfortunately, those things are ends, rather than means. It’s easy to become always reaching, never satisfied with what you have now.
Work as a calling. Here’s where you need to be for long term success and happiness. You’re focused on the work itself. The career advancement and financial gain are side effects of your intense desire to do your work and to do it better than anyone else.
