Accept Hard Work

    You know and accept the value of hard work. Because you are goal-oriented, you don't need a lot of motivating. You want to work at work. Many people don't work very hard at work. Some people are productive only half of the time. The rest of the time they are engaged in nonbusiness activities.

   Almost all jobs have tedious or arduous aspects to them and it's human nature to avoid these more difficult jobs, even though these are the tasks which may be the most productive for the company.

   The salesperson doesn't want to take the extra time to explain the extended warranty. The auto mechanic is too busy to follow-up and check if his customers from last week are satisfied. The real estate agent doesn't want to show a house on a Sunday night. What others avoid can become your opportunity to profit. Over time, this willing to work harder and attend to details can make a big difference in your career advancement and ultimate success.

   Appreciate that some may praise your hard work while some, especially less ambitious co-workers, may resent your willingness to do more than is required or expected. You have accepted hard work.
