Morning Motivator - Who You Are Not...

"Its better to be unappreciated for who you are than loved for who you are not."
- Unknown

I have always said that business is just like DATING. If you are COMPATIBLE, RESPECTFUL and WILLING TO WORK at it, you should have a great match. If you LIE to yourself or the other party, just to impress or stay close, you are DESTINED to FAIL!

When I heard this quote last week, it made me think about how many people are working in the WRONG job for the WRONG reasons. They may have convinced themselves that they are happy being in FINANCE because they make a good income. They may work 90 hours a week because their boss or parents say "hard work builds character."

Possibly, you are in the RIGHT business for the RIGHT reasons, yet you take on the WRONG clients. They are PRESTIGIOUS, a CASH COW or POLITICALLY they can help you. They are the CLIENT others want... and you got 'em! You just cannot figure out why the RELATIONSHIP is so bad...

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
If working with a client makes you feel LESSER of yourself - is the money worth it? If you are working with a client because you want to PROVE you can overcome, yet you don't have the RESOURCES they need - what do you EXPECT will come of the relationship?

I am very FORTUNATE, as I have found a woman in my PERSONAL life that has shown me what a GREAT relationship looks like, thus allowing me to better ANALYZE what a good "business" relationship looks like.

The CORE LESSON I have learned is: You DON'T have to change who you are to be the RIGHT person for someone else. Rather, you need to CHANGE the WRONG people around you, until you find the RIGHT PERSON.

If you like to yourself to keep a relationship, all you do I ACHIEVE a more painful breakup. Be YOURSELF... and be SUCCESSFUL!

Cheers,
Zach
