There are certain core principles by which we each live our\nlives. We often might not even be aware of them. But each of us have certain guiding\nprinciples, often in the form of beliefs, that inform our decision-making, our\nplanning, and our goals. We also have certain core principles that are specific\nto our business life and to what defines success for each of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of my core principles for success, taught to me by my\ngrandfather Charlie, include honor and respect for the work I\u2019m engaged in, no\nmatter what it is. Next is a willingness to always go the extra mile, to excel\nsimply for the sake of excelling. My third primary principle is to always work\nin preparation for the next level of advancement. In other words, to work with\na tangible plan for my future success, to have a goal that support your upward\ntrajectory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is so essential to honor and respect your work and your\nbusiness life. This forms the foundation for my other two guiding principles. No\nmatter what kind or character of work you have chosen or wish to choose, it is\nimportant to someone, and should be important to you as well. It might surprise you to consider how your\nwork favorably impacts those around you and the larger world. Whether you are a\nstreet sweeper, a hot dog vendor, a fine artist, a mom, a dog trainer, a\nbanker, or anything else, your work improves the lives of others in ways you\ncan\u2019t really imagine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t waste your time and effort on any work that you feel\nyou can\u2019t respect or honor, as it will deplete your energy, damage your image\nof and belief in yourself \u2013 your self-love and appreciation \u2013 and dishonor\nthose who are employing you. This, in turn, can never be a formula for success,\nas it simply doesn\u2019t put you in position to bring your A game. Demonstrating\nhonor \u2013 to ourselves and others \u2013 is most often through action rather than\nwords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you find yourself in any of the following, you might not\nbe honoring and respecting your work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, the best way to honor and respect your employer and\nyour work is to respect those around you. Honoring and respecting others is the\nbest way to also improve others\u2019 opinions of you, as your actions hold up a\nmirror in which you personally are reflected. Basic manner and proper\netiquette, both in business and in your own life, can be the difference between\nbeing seen as an employee or worker of future potential, and once who is simply\nputting in the time, stuck in a permanent rut, not worthy of consideration for\nadvancement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honoring and respecting your work means to work because of\nthe work itself. In the words of Satchel\nPaige, \u201cWork like you don\u2019t need the money!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each morning make a new and fresh decision to honor and\nrespect everyone around you. Each day is a new beginning and is worthy of a\ndaily fresh start! <\/p>\n\n\n\nCopyright Marc Demetriou 2019.
