I recently read a book called “Sell or be sold” by Grant Cardone, in his book he talks about selling – obvious from the title, but he also referred to something else that really resonated with me, and that is that you first need to commit.
Now that made me think about owning a business, managing and or leading people in your company or just working an 08:00 to 5:00 job, and that if you are not committed, you wont get the desired results you want or you will get the results based on the amount of commitment you have to that specific job, role or business.
You have to commit wholeheartedly to your business if you want to make a success of it, if you only commit halfway your business will grow by that same pace if at all, and you will soon feel like you are going nowhere slowly.
Same thing with your people, it’s all good to say “yes I am committed to my people” but if you are not real they will know. People are not sheep, they can see through the facade and they will leave you or refuse to follow you, no matter how well your vision resonates or how successful your company is or how much money you pay them.
And lastly the kicker, your normal grind, what would happen if you commit 100% to be the best you can be in your job, not for money, not for fame, but for yourself. Wake up tomorrow morning and tell yourself I am gong to be the best I can be at what I do, I am going to make a difference tomorrow and I am going to learn all I can about my profession and ensure that I work towards becoming the best I can be.
What would happen if you actually commit 100%? The logical thing is that the money, promotions and fame will follow, it has to, but the most important thing here is if you commit, you will make a difference, not just in other people’s lives but your own too, because you would have achieved something, you have become an expert at something, you are the best you can be at something, and that right there is the answer to happiness I believe, because money, fame and titles are nice, but if you don’t feel whole, if you don’t feel like you have arrived and that you deserve these things, would you be happy?
So commit, commit 100% in being the best you can be. Know as much as you can and make a difference in your life and those around you and be successful!
