WOULD YOU DO IT FOR FREE?

The world’s most successful people also have another very noticeable difference from ordinary people. They obviously enjoy making money however, they usually didn’t get involved in their business for the money.

Sting, the famous British singer and songwriter, was quoted in an interview with Michael Parkinson saying he would ‘do this [singing] for nothing’.

This is not unique to Sting. It is common to many of the world’s most successful people. They do it because they love it. Find any rich or successful person and I’ll show you a person who absolutely loves what they do. It is impossible to achieve long-term success otherwise.

Every person I have met, interviewed, read about or listened to that is rich, famous or successful, all sing the same song. They would happily pay to do what others pay them to do! They find it quite amusing that they get paid to do a job that they would do for free.

If you don’t absolutely love what you do, if Monday mornings are not a positive experience for you – well, perhaps you’re in the wrong business. You can’t fake this! If you love what you’re doing, it’s obvious, it’s infectious.
If you’re just going through the motions, people notice. You’ll be flat, have no energy – it flows on to your staff, to your customers and to your profits.

Sure, not every day can be an over-the-top fun day. But if you are inspired to make a difference, get a kick out of serving your customers, helping your staff to grow and achieve, you are enjoying the things that are essential to business success.

Life rewards excellence. You can never be excellent or rich unless you absolutely, passionately, love what you are doing.

Here’s a question that you should ask yourself each day. You have one life - why would you want to spend one minute of it doing things you don’t love doing?
