1 simple hack to differentiate yourself and stand out
|
'Why are you doing this? For fun, laughter, peace and joy.' Growing up, we used to answer with, 'for fun, laughter, peace and joy' if we didn't have any particular reason for doing something. Recently, when I meditate and journal about why I want to:
or pretty much any goal I'm working towards, it ultimately leads back to the same reason: For fun, laughter, peace and joy.
So yes, ultimately, I do what I do for fun, laughter, peace, and joy. There's so much wisdom in the simple basics. Returning to these simple basics and doing them well is becoming a central theme in my life lately. No need to overcomplicate. No need to waver and feel overwhelmed. Just keep your eye on the simple basics. And focus on doing these few simple basics well. Reader, why do you do what you do? Why do you want what you want in your business or career? In your finances? In your health? Or anything important in your life? Is it for fun, laughter, peace and joy too? Or something else? I'm a big fan of journaling as a tool to access your subconscious thoughts. So I'd recommend writing these down and allowing your thoughts and feelings about them to come through. Keep it to the simple basics - then focus on doing them better than everyone else. This is how you'll stand out and differentiate yourself among the sea of everyone else doing too much, too soon. Have a great week ahead. Sharon P.S. Want me to help you get back to the simple basics and execute on them consistently in your career?

It was a police investigator. I won't go into the details, but it meant a sudden change to who's helping run our household overnight, no warning. On top of that, my previous boss who brought me into the company was let go and replaced by a new one who was parachuted in by head office. As a result,...

Most people are taught to build their lives around one source of income. Go to school. Get a good job. Work hard. Stay loyal. And everything will work out. I believed that too. Then life taught me otherwise. My husband and I shut down a business and were left with a six-figure debt. I returned to corporate life to recover. Shortly after, I was laid off while I was the sole provider for my family. That experience changed how I think about work forever. Not because jobs are bad. I've spent...
