We live in transitional times.\u00a0 You can call it a recession, a downturn of the market, whatever you want to, but things are changing, and changing forever.\u00a0 If you know how to deal with it and face it positively, you can benefit from it.<\/p>\n
But most people that I listen to want to put their head in the sand and just wait it out, hunker down, and maybe they\u2019ll emerge with the same old attitudes.\u00a0 That ain\u2019t gonna happen, dude.\u00a0 Welcome to the new world.<\/p>\n
In light of that, here are six reasons why you should lose your job soon.<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should lose your job soon if you only show up for the money.<\/span> Enough said.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should lose your job soon if what you take from the company is equal to or greater than what you add to the company.<\/span> Here\u2019s basic economics.\u00a0 No company, no organization, no movement can afford to keep you on if you\u2019re draining resources from the company.\u00a0 Rule of thumb: you need to be adding double to triple your total income, including benefits, to your company to be \u201cessential personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should lose your job soon if you gossip and complain and come in every day like a sad dog spreading gloom. <\/span> You\u2019re unhappy, they\u2019re unhappy, both of you need to be put out of your misery, and a good firing just might be the ticket.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should lose your job soon if your attitude is, \u201cthey owe me my job, promotion, or more money, because I\u2019ve been here the longest.\u201d <\/span> Now I\u2019ll be the first to admit that long-term loyalty and stability is of value.\u00a0 But I\u2019ll also be the first to admit that just because you\u2019ve been at a place a long time, doesn\u2019t mean that you automatically have the right to a job or promotion.\u00a0 You need to be a performer and a producer just like everyone else<\/em>.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should lose your job soon if you\u2019re carrying responsibilities on a daily basis for which you have neither the gifting nor the passion.<\/span> Just because you can<\/em> do a job doesn\u2019t mean you should <\/em>do a job.\u00a0 And just because you can do a job at an acceptable level doesn\u2019t mean you can be great at it.\u00a0 If you have no passion and native giftedness for what you are doing, then you\u2019re going to always<\/em> live a smaller life and earn a smaller paycheck than you could.\u00a0 The sooner you get away from a dead-end job, the sooner you can spread your wings.<\/p>\n 6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should lose your job soon if you are forced to work in an environment where you feel diminished, disrespected, and used.<\/span> Now I am not saying that just because you don\u2019t like the people around you that you have an excuse, but if you\u2019re constantly working with people and doing tasks that violate your basic value system and principles, it\u2019s not worth it.<\/p>\n Here is the bottom line of this Dave Rave.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in a job where you get up every day and it doesn\u2019t feel a little bit like Christmas, if you\u2019re not doing what you know you were born to do, with people you love, in a place you love, for purposes you clearly understand and buy into, the sooner you lose that dead-end job, the sooner you\u2019re going to find your lifelong passion <\/span>and realize you can make a lot more money doing things you love and being great at it, than you ever will hanging onto a job you\u2019re afraid to lose because you don\u2019t believe God is big enough to take care of you if you follow your passion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We live in transitional times.\u00a0 You can call it a recession, a downturn of the market, whatever you want to, but things are changing, and changing forever.\u00a0 If you know how to deal with it and face it positively, you can benefit from it.
