Dani Johnson says “prosper where you’re planted.” She talks so much about this and works to changing our attitudes about where we were now.
Initially I couldn’t really understand this but it makes sense!!
In his book “Eat that Frog” Brian talks about a woman who worked hard for years in her job and couldn’t get a promotion. She then focused on the top 3 tasks she does that contribute the most to the company. She met her boss and asked:
- Could he delegate all her other tasks to others
- She would then focus on these too 3 items
- If she double her output would he double her salary
Within 30 days he did, she did then he did!
She doubled her salary in 30 days.
It makes we wonder what we could do right where we are with a different attitude and perspective!
It’s something to think about.
