Do you want to be your boss?
If the answer is no, it’s time to get out. Simple as that. If you’re at your
desk right now and are peering into your boss’s office in disgust, seriously
grab your fish bowl and coffee mug and get the F*/# out! I mean it. Start
running and don’t look back.
Ok maybe you don’t have to immediately pull the fire alarm and run out the
emergency exit, but at least notice the siren that should be ringing in your
head right about now. Respect it.
It’s time to do something about it.
If the people you work for do not inspire you, excite you and make
you want to do epic things, you are in the wrong place. If the people
who are molding and teaching you, are not people you admire, you are wasting
your time.
Surround yourself with the people living your dreams.
Take another look around you. Who inspires you? Who’s job do you
constantly wish you had? Who lives the type of life you’ve consistently
dreamed of?
Notice the folks you admire. Understand why you admire them. Surround
yourself with them. If you’re an employee, find a boss who doubles as a
role model. There should be no other type. If you’re an entrepreneur
find the mentors and models you truly respect.
It’s time to begin working towards something that’s meaningful.
As always, it starts with the people.
If you can’t get behind the people above you, it’s time to get out.
I’ll ask one more time, do you want to be your boss?
Time to get honest.
