Today's good idea comes from Gileaha Jones
she says: Hi Angela I've been at a job for four years that I absolutely hate.
I'm only there because I have bills to pay. Do you have any good ideas
for me to get through every day going to work?
Hi Gileaha, I honestly don't have enough
information to give you rock solid answer.
Do this - do that! I don't know why it is you don't like your job.
So, when you come to a question
that you don't have all the information for, you can always play the "what if" game -
goes like this: "what if tomorrow I can wake up
and I could go to a new job that pays better money,
has a better boss, better coworkers that don't bully me -
the rules and regulations of the company are to my satisfaction,
or whatever they are. When you start figuring out those
"what if's" a lot of times you will uncover
the real problem of why it is you don't like to go to work.
Now keep going. "What if...
I had to stay at my job for another four years?
What could I do differently that I'm not doing now
that would make my time there more enjoyable?
What if I could change the rules and regulations what would they be?"
"What if I still had to work with so-and-so at work that we don't get along with?"
Would I work through that relationship so that we can get along better?
I don't know, well once you play the "what if" game you'll starting uncovering a whole lot more of
the reasons why your job isn't working and what you might be able to do
to fix it, because if you can go and find a better job that meets
all those regulations- PRESTO! Go do that.
But if you can't, and you have to stay in your current job,
What can you personally do that's a little bit different
that will make your journey easier? "What if"
I'm telling ya, it's a good idea.
it's a good idea
