I wanted to take a minute to speak with you about developing your corporate goals that will bring about your success. This won’t be one of those episodes where we evaluate our talents and skill set to best determine our value. Really, how do you know if I am truly “wasting your time or not”? You don’t have a clue on how much your time is valued at.
Speaking of which, I like to share this, a wonderful man by the name of Denny Dettro, a former Director of mine from one of the many airline management jobs I’ve held throughout the years taught me a lesson one day in his office that I have never forgotten.
He looked me in my eyes as he leaned back in executive chair, peering at me from across that 2nd hand desk and said, “Always know what your value is. If you let me define what your value is, two things will always be certain. (1). I am never going to get it right in your eyes and you will secretly resent me for it and… (2). I’m always going to low ball you and in the business world, everyone is out to get more for less.
What Denny meant by that was, I can only be mad at myself if I allow others to define my worth. How much is your time worth? How much is your advice and counsel worth. Placing value on your time and energies helps those who will ultimately come seeking it know in advance, that because this of value to both him and me, let me not waste this opportunity. And isn’t that what this is all about? OPPORTUNITY.
We don’t fail due to the lack of opportunities, we fail for not taking advantage of them when they come our way. There are many reasons, too many to go through all right now, but there are many reason as to why we don’t take advantage of them. First, we don’t believe we can handle it. Our fear for being overwhelmed or failing overtakes us. Its funny, we’d rather not fail, I mean…who would. But we sure don’t want to fail in the front of others. So we’d rather not pursue any efforts at all. If that is you, you are destined to fail.
If you don’t take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way, you my friend are destined to fail. Set out to uniform some goals for you and your business both and take advantage of each every “leg up” that presents itself to you that further assists in getting those two things to marry up better to form a dynamic team. You are your success.
You birthed this dream of yours so that you could win and win big! Take a chance on yourself now; others will bet on you later. Below, see the posting on Betting on yourself. It flows right in with seizing every opportunity.
